International Classification:

H04N 7/16
H04N 5/455

US Classification:

725 14, 725 9, 725 10, 725 11, 725 46, 725 47

Abstract:

System and method for automatically rating the content of video media based on video operations performed on a media device and in reference to a plurality of rating rules are provided. Usage of the media device is continuously monitored and user actions with respect to operating the video media on the media device are automatically logged. Each rating rule includes a device usage pattern with respect to operating videos on the media device and a rating action indicating adjustments to content ratings of the videos based upon characteristics described by the device usage pattern that are inferred from the recorded user inputted video control operations. When the device usage pattern of a rating rule is inferred from one or more user actions operating a piece of video media directly on the media device, the content rating of the piece of video media is adjusted based on the rating rule.

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707748, 707752, 707754

Abstract:

Various methods for combining ClipRank and Collaborative Filtering are provided. According to one embodiment, the ClipRank weights associated with pieces of media content are calculated based on the relationships among the pieces of media content and various users. Those pieces having ClipRank weights greater than or equal to a predefined weight threshold are selected from the pieces of media content to obtain selected pieces of media content. Collaborative Filtering is then performed on the selected pieces of media content and the users.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707748, 707752, 707754

Abstract:

A method of ranking pieces of media content is provided. Each of the plurality pieces of media content has at least one relationship with at least one user. Each of the users has at least one relationship with at least one of the pieces of media content. Weights are associated with each piece of media content, user and relationship. The weight of a particular piece of media content is determined by recursively calculating and updating the weights of the pieces of media content and the users. The weight associated with a piece of media content or a user is calculated based on the weights of the at least one relationship and the weights of the at least one piece of media content or the at least one user with which the piece of media content or the user has the at least one relationship.

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

707749, 707738, 707914

Abstract:

A computing system creates and stores semantic metadata on content, such as videos, that enables efficient searching of the content. The existing metadata of a video file, for example, is examined and a keyword list is created. The processes used to derive the keyword list may depend on the type and format of the existing metadata. The keywords from the list are compared against external structured knowledge data sources that are topic oriented. Based on these comparisons and the matches found, semantic data, including topic, topic type, and attribute data are inserted into a topic table. This uniform and structured table is stored on the computing system and is efficiently searchable for finding relevant videos and for finding relationships between videos.

Abstract:

A method and system for providing information related to content accessed by a user of an electronic device is provided. An implementation involves determining content of interest to the user for access via an electronic device; obtaining metadata for said content; prefetching information related to said metadata; upon detecting availability of further metadata for said content, prefetching additional information related to said further metadata; and upon access to the content by the user via the electronic device, selectively providing the prefetched information to the user.
