Abstract: Disclosed is a “bundle” of event-related multi-media content items provided to a customer of the event. The customer navigates through the bundle, tracks down selections of interest to himself, and “consumes” them. In some embodiments, the multi-media content items include recorded video clips, interviews, and other background information. Other content items can be live video feeds of the event taken from various viewpoints. Advertising for merchandise related to the event can be included. Some of the multi-media content items are designed to enhance the customer's experience of the event or to build loyalty. The media bundle is updated during the course of the event, removing items no longer of interest and adding new ones to keep the customer engaged. When the event is over, the media bundle can continue to operate to provide event recaps, post-event interviews, schedules for future events, and opportunities to purchase tickets for those future events.

Abstract: An object detection algorithm that generates a two-layer Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) during a training session, and subsequent to the training session, uses the two-layer GMM to perform face detection. No labeling of local features is needed. The only input that is provided by a user is the setting of a few global parameters for the image being captured during the training session, such as, for example, the person's facial pose.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for synthesizing audio-visual content in a video image processor. A content synthesis application processor extracts audio features and video features from audio-visual input signals that represent a speaker who is speaking. The processor uses the extracted visual features to create a computer generated animated version of the face of the speaker. The processor synchronizes facial movements of the animated version of the face of the speaker with a plurality of audio logical units such as phonemes that represent the speaker's speech. In this manner the processor synthesizes an audio-visual representation of the speaker's face that is properly synchronized with the speaker's speech.

Abstract: One provides (101) a media source bundle (200) as pertains to a given subject matter of interest to at least one end user. This media source bundle can comprise, for example and at least in part, content source locations for each of a plurality of independent content sources that each offer content regarding the given subject matter and wherein at least some of these independent content sources are associated with mutually non-compatible electronic content-delivery modalities. (In such an application, the media source bundle will be understood to not comprise the content itself.) These teachings will then provide for transmitting (102) a message that comprises, at least in part, this media source bundle to one or more corresponding end user recipient platforms (303).
