Systems, methods, apparatuses, user interfaces and computer program products provide social and interactive applications for mass media based on real-time ambient-audio and/or video identification. In some implementations, a method includes: receiving descriptors identifying ambient audio associated with a media broadcast; comparing the descriptors to one or more reference descriptors; and determining a rating for the media broadcast based at least in part on the results of the comparison.

A reproduction device includes a reception unit that receives content data through a network in a streaming manner; a discrimination unit that discriminates reproduction data to reproduce and non-reproduction data not to reproduce in the content data received in the streaming manner by the reception unit; a data managing unit that stores the reproduction data in a buffer and does not store the non-reproduction data in the buffer, with respect to the reproduction data and the non-reproduction data discriminated by the discrimination unit; and a decoding unit that decodes the reproduction data stored in the buffer by the data managing unit.

Techniques described herein enable parents to establish a child-protective “kids zone” on a DVR. According to one technique, a DVR receives, from a parent, identities of content items that the parent does not want children to view. The DVR maps the identities to a kids zone. During times that the DVR is set to operate in the kids zone operational mode, the DVR prevents itself from presenting any content items that are associated with the identities. However, during these times, the DVR still may obtain and store these content items. At other times, during which the DVR is not set to operate in the kids zone operational mode, the DVR may allow itself to present the content items that are associated with the identities, including content items that the DVR obtained and stored during times that the DVR was set to operate in the kids zone operational mode.

Aspects of a method and system for content filtering in a broadband gateway are provided. In this regard, a broadband gateway may be operable to determine whether to allow access to content based on attributes of the content and based on one or more of: which of a plurality of electronic devices is attempting to access the content, sensor information identifying a user attempting to access the content, and a time at which a user is attempting to access the information. Attributes of the content may be determined by analyzing the content utilizing one or more pattern recognition techniques. The gateway may be operable to allow a first subset of the electronic devices to access the content during a first period of time, and allow a second subset of the electronic devices to access the content during a second period of time.

An apparatus for browsing video, comprising: feature data extractor (15) for extracting feature data from metadata recorded on a recording medium (2), on which segments corresponding to metadata, a video signal (78), or an audio signal (79) are recorded, either by a method for recording, comprising: recording an inputted video signal (78) or audio signal (79) on a predetermined recording medium (2); dividing the video signal (78) or audio signal (79) into predetermined segments (1201) to extract a feature from the video signal (78) or a feature from the audio signal (79) for each segment (1201); generating metadata including feature data corresponding to the features and start positions of the segments (1201); and upon the recording, recording the metadata on the recording medium (2) in association with the segments (1201); or by a method for recording comprising: recording an inputted video signal (78) or audio signal (79) on a predetermined recording medium (2); dividing the video signal (78) or audio signal (79) into predetermined segments (1201) to extract a feature from the video signal (78) or a feature from the audio signal (79) for each segment (1201); generating metadata including feature data corresponding to the features and start positions of the segments (1201); detecting a commercial segment (310a) included in the video signal (78) or audio signal (79) based on the video signal (78) or audio signal (79); modifying the feature data based on a result from detection of the commercial segment (130a) to generate the metadata; and recording the metadata including the modified feature data on the recording medium in association with the segments (1201); the apparatus further comprising: a comparator (16) for performing comparison between a value corresponding to the feature data and a predetermined threshold; searcher (16) for searching the segments recorded on the recording medium for a segment that matches a result from the comparison; and reproducer (14,123,13) for reproducing video or audio corresponding to the segment retrieved by the searcher.

There is provided a system and method for time-adapted video content during trick mode playback. There is provided a method of providing a plurality of pre-produced alternative contents for use by a playback device in conjunction with rendering of a content, comprising determining a current playback speed of the playback device, comparing the current playback speed with a real-time playback speed of the playback device that is for viewing the content, selecting one of the plurality of pre-produced alternative contents based on the current playback speed in response to the comparing of the current playback speed with the real-time playback speed, and rendering the one of the plurality of pre-produced alternative contents in place of the rendering of the content. In this manner, more relevant and intelligible video contents can be provided for the user during trick mode playback.

In one embodiment, a method for performing actions with media information using a digital video recorder is provided. In one embodiment, a user may mark a media segment in media using a digital video recorder. Characteristics for the media segment are then determined. A second media segment in second media may then be determined. For example, the second media segment may have similar characteristics to the first media segment. In one example, an advertisement that is similar to the advertisement marked as the first media segment may be determined. An action may then be performed with the second media segment. For example, the second media segment may be removed from the second media.
