ABSTRACT:
An automated storyboard system, which is updated for the creation of information sequences. The storyboard includes an array of cells arranged in columns, with the content of each cell indicating an information source having a certain active duration. For each column of the storyboard which contains active cells a determination is made as to which of the cells contains an information source having a shortest one of the active durations. The column is marked to have a column time duration of the cell of shortest active duration, with the cell of the shortest active duration being terminated at the end of the column. When other active cells exist for the column, a further column is added next to the column, with the further column containing the other active cells. The active cells have an updated active duration which is equal to their previous active duration less the column time duration.
