20090298594 | MEDIA/TAG-BASED WORD GAMES - A method of creating a word game comprising receiving a seed value from a browser, obtaining from a media database a plurality of words associated with the seed value, creating a word game from at least a subset of the obtained plurality of words, integrating the word game into a browser interpretable document, and, returning the browser interpretable document to the browser. Some embodiments further comprise incorporating into the browser interpretable document an advertisement associated with the seed value and/or at least one of the obtained plurality of words. Also disclosed is a system comprising a gaming server which receives a game request; a media server and media tag database; the gaming server requesting from the media server a set of media tags associated with a game seed value, building a word game using at least a subset of the media tags, and transmitting the word game. | 12-03-2009 |
20100077290 | TIME-TAGGED METAINFORMATION AND CONTENT DISPLAY METHOD AND SYSTEM - Disclosed herein are methods and systems for displaying content-related metainformation, and display of content-related tag metainformation in correspondence, and synchronized, e.g., time-based, with the content, so as to display content together with related time-tag information. | 03-25-2010 |
20100281373 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ANNOTATING VIDEO CONTENT - Disclosed is a method and system for annotating video. A software application operating on a user computing device monitors a first display of video content transmitted over a network from a video server. The software application detects an action performed by a user of the user computing device on a first frame of the video content during display of the first frame. The action corresponds to the user identifying a portion of the displayed video frame upon which to overlay a visible marking on the first frame. The marking is associated with an object in the first frame. The software application iteratively derives a further position for the marking in a further frame of the video content, the further position associated with the location of the object in the further frame. The software application generates metadata associated with the user and transmits the metadata to a metadata sever. | 11-04-2010 |
20100287475 | CONTENT SUMMARY AND SEGMENT CREATION - Disclosed herein is an ability to create segments of content, such as video, audio, multimedia, image, animation, interactive, etc. content, to associate metadata to each segment created, and to generate a summary of content comprising one or more segments using the metadata associated with the content segments. One or more acticons represented as icons in a user interface displayable to a user can be used to indicate a starting and/or ending point for a content segment. An acticon can represent an occurrence in the content, or a reaction of a user experiencing the content, for example. | 11-11-2010 |
20120030152 | RANKING ENTITY FACETS USING USER-CLICK FEEDBACK - Example methods, apparatuses, or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented using one or more computing devices to facilitate or otherwise support one or more processes or operations associated with ranking entity facets using user-click feedback. | 02-02-2012 |

20090259531 | INTERACTIVE ADVERTISEMENTS - A system and method for providing interactive advertisements and collecting data for an advertiser includes a processor, a storage unit in communication with the processor, and a memory unit in communication with the processor, wherein the memory unit contains instructions. The instructions configure the processor to upload sequential media to a central server, wherein the sequential media is an advertisement, provide at least one tag, wherein the at least one tag is a keyword related to a subject matter of the sequential media, and provide the sequential media to a game player via a web portal, wherein the web portal includes a input area for entering words from the game player related to the subject matter of the sequential media. | 10-15-2009 |
20110154341 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A TASK MANAGEMENT LIBRARY TO EXECUTE MAP-REDUCE APPLICATIONS IN A MAP-REDUCE FRAMEWORK - An improved system and method for a task management library to execute map-reduce applications is provided. A map-reduce application may be operably coupled to a task manager library and a map-reduce library on a client device. The task manager library may include a wrapper application programming interface that provides application programming interfaces invoked by a wrapper to parse data input values of the map-reduce application. The task manager library may also include a configurator that extracts data and parameters of the map-reduce application from a configuration file to configure the map-reduce application for execution, a scheduler that determines an execution plan based on input and output data dependencies of mappers and reducers, a launcher that iteratively launches the mappers and reducers according to the execution plan, and a task executor that requests the map-reduce library to invoke execution of mappers on mapper servers and reducers on reducer servers. | 06-23-2011 |
20120030711 | METHOD OR SYSTEM TO PREDICT MEDIA CONTENT PREFERENCES - Briefly, embodiments of a method or system of predicting media content preferences are disclosed. | 02-02-2012 |

20130097285 | MEDIA ENRICHMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - Disclosed herein are aspects associated with contextual, or related, media enrichment presentation item of a media object served via the internet. A request to annotate a media object in connection with the media object's presentation is received, and a media object identifier and a profile identifier are obtained. The media object's information is retrieved using the media object identifier, and a profile is retrieved using the profile identifier. A response including one or more references to one or more media enrichment presentation items is transmitted, each reference to a media enrichment presentation item comprising information for use in retrieving the media enrichment presentation item for presentation in connection with presentation of the media object. | 04-18-2013 |
20130142418 | RANKING AND SELECTING REPRESENTATIVE VIDEO IMAGES - Techniques are described herein for selecting representative images for video items using a trained machine learning engine. A training set is fed to a machine learning engine. The training set includes, for each image in the training set, input parameter values and an externally-generated score. Once a machine learning model has been generated based on the training set, input parameters for unscored images are fed to the trained machine learning engine. Based on the machine learning model, the trained machine learning engine generates scores for the images. To select a representative image for a particular video item, candidate images for that particular video item may be ranked based on their scores, and the candidate image with the top score may be selected as the representative image for the video item. | 06-06-2013 |
