| 20110217024 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR CUSTOM STREAM GENERATION - Methods, systems, and computer program products that filter available content, produce a set of clean, discrete clips, and mix the clips to produce a package of content that matches a user's substantive preferences and conforms to a length and format specified by the user. Clips that do not match the user's preferences may be eliminated from use, as may be clips that have been viewed by the user previously. Moreover, the user can react to the received clips and judge them as to desirability and relevance to his or her preferences. These reactions may then become part of a user's set of preferences for generation of subsequent mixes. | 09-08-2011 |
