Data access methods, media repository systems, media systems and articles of manufacture are described. According to one embodiment, a data access method includes storing media content using a media repository system and wherein a plurality of different usage rights are provided for controlling the consumption of the media content, providing a client configured to consume the media content, using the media repository system, accessing location information regarding a location of the client, using the location information, selecting one of the usage rights, communicating the media content to the client using the media repository system, and using the client, consuming the media content in accordance with the one of the usage rights.

Image browsing through memory-stored items, such as a library of images or desktop windows, is efficiently performed by arranging images in partially overlapping fashion and generating a second-level image for each overlapped image that is contacted by a user-manipulated cursor. The second-level image is a “transitory” image, since it is removed as soon as the cursor is displaced from the corresponding first-level image. Thus, by placing the first-level images in a diagonally extending stack, straight line movement of the cursor will initiate a sequential presentation of transitory images for the images in the stack. In one embodiment, the display also includes an incrementing icon and a decrementing icon that are employed to provide substitute stacks. Moreover, a third-level image is formed in a separate window when the user selects one of the images from the stack. This third-level image has more permanency, since it remains in the display window after the stack has been substituted. The images may be digital photographs, but other applications are contemplated.

A method for generating a panoramic image that enables a user to obtain panoramic photographs with a digital camera without the aid of a computer system or specialized lenses. A digital camera according to the present techniques captures a series of image frames as a user pans the digital camera through a panoramic image scene and combines the captured image frames while the image frames are being captured.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for associating still images and videos. One method includes receiving a plurality of images and a plurality of videos and determining whether the images are related to the videos. The determining includes, for an image and a video, extracting features from the image and extracting features frames of the video, and comparing the features to determine whether the image is related to the video. The method further includes maintaining a data store storing data associating each image with each video determined to be related to the image.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving a soft post authored by a user, the soft post including a content item and having a distribution associated therewith, the distribution including a selected group of users that are socially connected to the user, determining an interest level with respect to a content item of the soft post based on content items submitted by one or more users of the selected group of users, the interest level reflecting a likelihood that users of the selected group of users would be interested in the viewing the soft post, comparing the interest level to an interest level threshold associated with the soft post, and selectively providing user access to the content item of the soft post based on the comparing.
摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention include a grazing routine that selects data objects from a data-object library or database based on selection-criterion values associated with each data object and provides the data objects to a presentation routine that uses the data objects to continuously update a data-object presentation. User input directs subsequent data-object selection by the grazing routine to allow users to intuitively navigate and search a large data-object library in order to locate one or a set of particular data objects. Users can input selection commands to specific presented data-objects in order to focus subsequent data-object selection and data-object presentation to increasingly smaller sub-populations of data objects. In the absence of user input, the sub-population of data objects from which data objects are selected for presentation may be increased.
摘要:
User engagement in unwatched videos is predicted by collecting and aggregating data describing user engagement with watched videos. The data are normalized to reduce the influence of factors other than the content of the videos on user engagement. Engagement metrics are calculated for segments of watched videos that indicate user engagement with each segment relative to overall user engagement with the watched videos. Features of the watched videos within time windows are characterized, and a function is learned that relates the features of the videos within the time windows to the engagement metrics for the time windows. The features of a time window of an unwatched video are characterized, and the learned function is applied to the features to predict user engagement to the time window of the unwatched video. The unwatched video can be enhanced based on the predicted user engagement.

Potential content item slots (e.g., ad slots) in a media (e.g., video, audio, or both) are identified, and each content item slot is associated with a weight that indicates a degree of potential disruption to a flow of the media when a content item (e.g., ad) is inserted in the content item slot.

The disclosure provides a method and system for dynamic data navigation. The method may include receiving a data set request, dynamically identifying metadata for items in the data set, creating groupings of items in the data set based on the identified metadata, and displaying the groupings. The system may include a display, a user input; and a data navigation program.
