Abstract: A video segmentation system can be utilized to automate segmentation of digital video content. Features corresponding to visual, audio, and/or textual content of the video can be extracted from frames of the video. The extracted features of adjacent frames are compared according to a similarity measure to determine boundaries of a first set of shots or video segments distinguished by abrupt transitions. The first set of shots is analyzed according to certain heuristics to recognize a second set of shots distinguished by gradual transitions. Key frames can be extracted from the first and second set of shots, and the key frames can be used by the video segmentation system to group the first and second set of shots by scene. Additional processing can be performed to associate metadata, such as names of actors or titles of songs, with the detected scenes.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing extrinsic data relevant to a video content feature. In one embodiment, where a single cast member performs as multiple characters in the video content feature, the extrinsic data may include character images for each character played by the cast member. In another embodiment, where multiple generic images of a cast member are available, a particular generic image is selected to be included in the extrinsic data according to a measure of relevancy of the generic image to the video content feature. In another embodiment, when a generic image of a cast member is unavailable, an image of the cast member in character is included in the extrinsic data.

Abstract: Relationships and descriptions are inferred for entities that appear in media content, such as movies and television programs. In one embodiment, media content is analyzed to infer relationships among entities that appear in the media content over an entirety of the media content. Relationships between two or more entities may change over time in the media content. A request is received from a client device for entity information regarding one or more entities relative to a particular time in the media content. Relationships that have been inferred via this analysis are then identified based at least in part on the particular time. The entity information presenting the identified relationships is sent to the client device.

Abstract: Automatic replay or skip ahead functionality can be configured to intelligently navigate to a portion of a video a user desires to view. The context at which a user selects intelligent navigation can be analyzed to determine where to initiate automatic replay or skip ahead. The context for intelligent navigation can be based on scene or shot segmentation data, closed captioning, aggregate video navigation data from a community of users of shared demographic traits and/or interest, and/or other metadata. In the case of automatic replay, playback of a portion of a video can include enhancements for that portion, such as providing closed captioning, display at a decreased frame rate (“slow motion”), zooming in/out on a portion of the frames of a video segment, among other enhancements.
Abstract translation: 自动重播或跳过功能可以配置为智能地导航到用户希望查看的视频的一部分。 可以分析用户选择智能导航的上下文以确定在何处启动自动重放或跳过。 智能导航的背景可以基于场景或拍摄分割数据,隐藏字幕,来自共享人口特征和/或兴趣的用户社区的聚合视频导航数据和/或其他元数据。 在自动重放的情况下,视频的一部分的回放可以包括对该部分的增强,例如提供隐藏字幕,以降低的帧速率(“慢动作”)显示,在帧的一部分上放大/缩小 的视频片段,以及其他增强功能。

Abstract: The playback of video content upon a display is enhanced through the unobtrusive presentation of extrinsic data upon the same display. A video content feature is rendered on a display. A quantity of extrinsic data relevant to a current time in the video content feature is determined based at least in part on viewing history of a user. A graphical element presenting at least a portion of the extrinsic data is rendered on the display while the video content feature is also being rendered on the display.

Abstract: The playback of video content upon a display is enhanced through the unobtrusive presentation of extrinsic data upon the same display. A video content feature is rendered on a display. It is determined whether to present extrinsic data relevant to a current time in the video content feature based at least in part on appearance control metadata. A graphical element presenting at least a portion of the extrinsic data is rendered on the display while the video content feature is also being rendered on the display in response to determining to present the extrinsic data.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for presenting a timeline interface in association with video content features. A user interface is rendered on a display, where the user interface includes selectable cast member components and a timeline component. The timeline component corresponds to a video content feature and visually segments it into scenes. A user selection of a particular selectable cast member component is received, and a subset of scenes in which a corresponding cast member performs is determined based at least in part on extrinsic data. The timeline component is updated to visually indicate the subset of scenes.

Abstract: Feedback received from users regarding potential problems with an application, service, or other source of electronic content can be configured to include additional information that help triangulate the source of the problem. Content provided by third parties can be combined with content from a primary provider, but the primary provider often will be unable to determine the precise instance of third party content that a user received that might have posed a problem for the user, as may relate to malware or another such issue. By configuring feedback submissions from users to automatically include identifying information, and by logging session data for various users, a content provider can analyze and filter the data to determine likely sources of the problem, and deactivate or otherwise address those sources. Further, the content provider can analyze the information to locate any users likely to have been exposed to the same third party content.
