Title: A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY GENERATING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT FILE
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for dynamically generating a multimedia content file. The method comprises receiving, by a multimedia content generator, a description of an event from a user. The method comprises identifying one or more keywords from the description of the event. Further, the method comprises mapping the one or more identified keywords with one or more images, related to one or more objects, stored in a content database for generating one or more scenes related to the description. An initial-level multimedia content file is generated by composing the one or more scenes. Furthermore the method comprises receiving one or more inputs on the initial-level multimedia content file from the user. Finally, a final-level multimedia content file is generated based on the one or more inputs received on the initial-level multimedia content file.

Claims: number: 1
text: A computer-implemented method for dynamically generating a multimedia content file, the method comprising:
number: 2
text: The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the description of the event is received in one or more forms comprising at least one of narration of the event by the user, one or more textual inputs and one or more audio inputs.
number: 3
text: The method as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the one or more keywords from the description of the event are identified using a Natural Language Processing technique.
number: 4
text: The method as claimed in any of the preceding claims, wherein each of the one or more images stored in the content database are associated with one or more variable attributes.
number: 5
text: The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the one or more variable attributes of each of the one or more images includes at least one of dimensions of the image, color of the object and shape and viewpoint of the object.
number: 6
text: The method as claimed in any of the preceding claims, wherein the one or more inputs are used for performing at least one of changing the one or more objects in the one or more scenes, modifying the one or more variable attributes of the one or more images in the one or more scenes and modifying relationship between the one or more objects in the one or more scenes.
number: 7
text: The method as claimed in any of the preceding claims, further comprising fetching one or more new images from an online multimedia repository when the one or more images required for mapping the one or more identified keywords is unavailable in the content database.
number: 8
text: A multimedia content generator for dynamically generating a multimedia content file, the multimedia content generator comprising:
number: 9
text: The multimedia content generator as claimed in claim 8, wherein the instructions cause the processor to receive the description of the event in one or more forms comprising at least one of narration of the event by the user, one or more textual inputs and one or more audio inputs.
number: 10
text: The multimedia content generator as claimed in claim 8 or claim 9, wherein the instructions cause the processor to identify the one or more keywords from the description of the event using a Natural Language Processing technique configured in the multimedia content generator.
number: 11
text: The multimedia content generator as claimed in any of claims 8 to 10, wherein each of the one or more images stored in the content database are associated with one or more variable attributes.
number: 12
text: The multimedia content generator as claimed in claim 11, wherein the one or more variable attributes of each of the one or more images includes at least one of dimensions of the image, color of the object and shape and viewpoint of the object.
number: 13
text: The multimedia content generator as claimed in any of claims 8 to 12, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform at least one of changing the one or more objects in the one or more scenes, modify the one or more variable attributes of the one or more images in the one or more scenes and modify relationship between the one or more objects in the one or more scenes using the one or more inputs received from the user.
number: 14
text: The multimedia content generator as claimed in any of claims 8 to 13, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to fetch one or more new images from an online multimedia repository when the one or more images required for mapping the one or more identified keywords is unavailable in the content database.
number: 15
text: A computer-readable medium storing instructions for dynamically generating a multimedia content file, wherein upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors, the processors perform the method of any of claims 1 to 7.
