  • Publication number: 20110154197
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to combine highly targeted and customized content items with algorithmic filmmaking techniques to create a film-quality, personalized multimedia experience (MME)/movie for a user. First, a rich content database is created and embellished with meaningful, accurate, and properly organized multimedia content items tagged with meta-information. Second, a software agent interacts with the user to create, learn, and exploit the user's context to determine which content items need to be retrieved and how they should be customized in order to create a script of content to meet the user's current need. Finally, retrieved and/or customized multimedia content items such as text, images, or video clips are utilized to create a script of movie-like content using automatic filmmaking techniques such as audio synchronization, image control and manipulation, and appropriately customized dialog and content.

  • Publication number: 20110113041
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to present a script of content (also known as a user experience) comprising one or more content items to a user online, wherein such content is not only relevant to addressing a problem raised by the user, but is also customized and tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the user based on the user's profile. Here, the content generated and presented to the user can be predicted, identified, and selected by taking into account similarities between the user and users or experts in a community who share the same interest as the user as well as feedback on relevant content by the users in the community. With such an approach, a user can efficiently and accurately find what he/she is looking for and have a unique experience that distinguishes it from the experiences by any other person in the general public.

  • Publication number: 20110016102
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to identify, select, and present psychoactive content to a user in order to achieve a desired psychotherapeutic effect or purpose on the user. More specifically, content items in a content library are tagged and categorized under various psychoactive properties. In addition, image-feeling associations are assessed on a per user basis to determine what types of content items induce what types of feelings/reactions from the specific user. A content comprising one or more content items can then be presented to the user based on its ability to induce a desired shift in the emotional state of the user.
