CONTENT PLAYBACK AND RECORDING BASED ON SCENE CHANGE DETECTION AND METADATA

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media described herein may facilitate the characterization of content segments based on a type of content, thus providing a user with the flexibility to: record only the scene types of interest to the user; playback only the scene types of interest to the user; search a media library, wherein the results of the search will include a list of only the content having scene types of interest to the user; browse available user selected scenes from clients; reposition content to user interested scene type during playback; and/or generate a detailed listing of the content based on the scene types. Scene change detection and scene type metadata may be used to identify scene boundaries within a piece of content and to characterize a scene based on a scene type.
