  • Patent number: 10992623
    Abstract: A method includes capturing a digital content segment, generating a first identifier, and associating the first identifier with a digital image in the memory of an electronic device. The method also includes generating a second identifier and associating the second identifier with a digital content segment in the memory. The method further includes transferring at least one of the digital image and the digital content segment to a server computer via a network, wherein the first identifier is transferred in association with the digital image and the second identifier is transferred in association with the digital content segment. The method also includes generating an electronic file providing a sequential clip listing associated with rendering a digital media message. The electronic file includes the first and second identifiers, a first indicator identifying a first frame of the digital media message, and a second indicator identifying a second frame of the digital media message.

  • Patent number: 10728197
    Abstract: A method of generating a digital media message includes receiving a digital video segment providing a plurality of images via a display of the electronic device, each image of the plurality of images being indicative of a respective digital content segment, and receiving, via the electronic device, a first input indicating selection of a first digital content segment associated with a corresponding image of the plurality of images. The method also includes associating the digital video segment and the first digital content segment with a play sequence of the digital media message such that the first digital content segment will be presented simultaneously with at least part of the digital video segment when the digital media message is played. The method further includes providing the digital media message for sharing with a remote electronic device, wherein the digital media message comprises at least the digital video segment and the first, digital content segment.

  • Patent number: 10691408
    Abstract: A method of generating a digital media message includes receiving a first digital content segment via an electronic device, associating the first digital content segment with a first position in a play sequence, receiving a second digital content segment different from the first digital content segment, and receiving a third digital content segment different from the first and second digital content segments. The method also includes adding the second and third digital content segments to the play sequence such that the second digital content segment is presented simultaneously with at least one of the first and third digital content segments when the digital media message is played. Such a method further includes providing the digital media message for sharing with a remote electronic device.
