20130311440 | COMPARISON SEARCH QUERIES - A computer implemented method, system and computer program product for providing search results in response to a search query includes receiving, by a processor, a search query from a user. A processor detects that the search query includes a request for a comparison-mode query and the processor automatically detects terms in the search query indicating that the query includes components. The comparison-mode query is decomposed into respective, individual component queries for the respective components and the query is performed as respective component queries for the respective, individual components. This includes finding an individual result for each respective, individual component from a single, remote website. The user is presented the individual results of the component queries, which includes aligning the results side-by-side and vertically, so that although the results are for respective, individual components, the alignment tends to help the user compare the individual results. | 11-21-2013 |

20090132924 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO CREATE HIGHLIGHT PORTIONS OF MEDIA CONTENT - To improve the consumer experience with electronic devices, a system and method is provided for customizing media content, and particularly video content, by creating highlight portions of the video content. In exemplary embodiments, the video files are “marked” or “flagged” about the portions of the video content to segment the highlight portions within the media file. The marks or flags may be inputted and incorporated as part of the metadata associated with the video file. A user's electronic device may then extract the marks or flags from the metadata, which causes a media player on the portable electronic device to play only the marked highlight portions. In addition, a user may share the highlights with others by transmitting the marked video files to others' electronic devices. Alternatively, the highlight creator may transmit only the metadata to another's electronic device, and the metadata marks may be extracted and applied to a video file stored on the other's device or streamed thereto. | 05-21-2009 |
