20140214846 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF DYNAMIC CONTENT ANALYSIS - Methods and systems of dynamic content analysis for categorizing media contents are provided. Data regarding the media contents that a user is watching on one or more devices is obtained, and the environment in which the user is watching the media contents may be captured. Metadata categorizing the events and the media contents can be generated, and the metadata may be further associated with a corresponding event. | 07-31-2014 |
20130326575 | Social Media Driven Generation of a Highlight Clip from a Media Content Stream - There is provided a method and system for creating a highlight clip from a media content stream. The method comprises, receiving data corresponding to social media traffic related to a playout of the media content stream, identifying one or more highlight portions of the media content stream using the social media traffic data, selecting one or more media clips corresponding to the one or more highlight portions from a media content database, and generating the highlight clip using the one or more media clips. The social media traffic data may include microblogging traffic relative to the playout of the media content stream, which may take form of an audio-visual, video, or audio stream. | 12-05-2013 |
20110018880 | TIGHT INBETWEENING - A tool for inbetweening is provided, wherein inbetween frames are at least partly computer generated by analyzing elements of key frames to identify strokes, determining corresponding stroke pairs, computing a continuous stroke motion for each stroke pair, defined by a carrier defined by endpoints of the two strokes and, for mutual endpoints, adjusting the continuous stroke motion of the meeting strokes such that the adjustment results in the continuous stroke motion coinciding at the mutual endpoint such that the mutual endpoint would follow the same path and deforming the stroke as it is moved by the stroke motion, wherein the deformation is a weighted combination of deformations, each reconstructed using shape descriptors that are interpolated from the shape descriptors of the corresponding samples on the key frames, wherein the shape descriptors are computed from neighboring sample points in the cyclic order of samples along the stroke. | 01-27-2011 |
20100115051 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT - There is presented a system for managing digital media content, the system comprising a media server accessible over a communications network, the media server including a server processor. The server processor is configured to identify a first container data structure, the first container data structure including the digital media content encoded in a first encoding format. The server processor is also configured to use a digital media profile, and to extract a media file including the digital media content encoded in the first encoding format, from the first container data structure, according to the digital media profile. The server processor is further configured to assemble the media file in a second container data structure. | 05-06-2010 |
20090239577 | Method and system for multimedia captures with remote triggering - There is provided a system for triggering a multimedia unit to capture multimedia. The system comprises a multimedia unit configured to capture multimedia, which may be images, video, or other sensory information. The system may further comprise a wireless device, such as a cell phone, configured to send a triggering signal, such as an SMS message, wherein the triggering signal includes an identifier for the wireless device. The system may further comprise a wireless network, such as a cellular network, configured to carry the triggering signal and configured to carry the multimedia. The system may further comprise a multimedia host configured to receive the multimedia via a system network and to present the multimedia to a user of the system for capturing multimedia via a built-in multimedia display or to a client computer via the Internet. | 09-24-2009 |
