Intelligent video navigation techniques

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and memory including instructions that, upon being executed by the processor, cause the system to: obtain a request to replay a portion of a digital video file as the digital video file is being presented; obtain a current frame of the digital video file; analyze a plurality of previous frames of the digital video file between a minimum point in time and a maximum point in time relative to the current frame to determine that an identified frame of the plurality of previous frames corresponding to the plurality of previous frames and the current frame corresponds to a beginning of dialogue associated with the current frame; cause the digital video file to be presented from the identified frame; and provide at least one digital video enhancement to one or more frames between the identified frame and the current frame.
