Patent ID: 7945847

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for recasting search engine results as a motion picture with audio, the method comprising: identifying a search engine query; providing to a search engine the query; receiving from the search engine the results of the query; retrieving a plurality of legacy web pages in dependence upon the results; identifying audio objects in the plurality of legacy web pages for audio rendering; identifying video objects in the plurality of legacy web pages for motion picture rendering; associating one or more of the video objects for motion picture rendering with one or more of the audio objects for audio rendering; wherein associating one or more of the objects for motion picture rendering with one or more of the objects for audio rendering further comprises: determining layout locations of the identified objects in the legacy web page identified for audio rendering; determining layout locations of identified objects in the legacy web page identified for motion picture video rendering; and associating one or more objects for motion picture video rendering with objects for audio rendering in dependence upon their layout locations; determining in dependence upon the selected audio objects and video objects a duration for the motion picture; selecting audio events for rendering the audio objects identified for audio rendering; selecting motion picture video events for rendering the video objects identified for motion picture rendering; assigning the selected audio events and the selected motion picture video events to playback times for the motion picture; rendering, with the selected audio events at their assigned playback times, the audio content of the each of the audio objects identified for audio rendering; rendering, with the selected motion picture video events at their assigned playback times, the video content of the video objects identified for motion picture rendering; and recording in a multimedia file the rendered audio content and motion picture video content.
