Methods and computer program products for subcontent tagging and playback

摘要

A method for tagging subcontent includes creating a first begin tag for a program to be delivered over a network, wherein the first begin tag defines a beginning of a first video segment of the program. A first video frame is identified for the first video segment, the first video frame representing content of the first video segment. A second begin tag is created for the program, the second begin tag defines a beginning of a second video segment of the program. A second video frame is identified for the second video segment, the second video frame representing content of the second video segment. The first begin tag is distinct from the second begin tag, the first video frame is distinct from the second video frame, and the first video segment is distinct from the second video segment.

1. A method for tagging subcontent, the method comprising:
creating, using a processor, a first begin tag for a program to be delivered over a network, wherein the first begin tag defines a beginning of a first video segment of the program; identifying a first video frame for the first video segment, the first video frame representing content of the first video segment, wherein the first video frame is displayable as a first thumbnail; creating, using a processor, a second begin tag for the program, wherein the second begin tag defines a beginning of a second video segment of the program; and identifying a second video frame for the second video segment, the second video frame representing content of the second video segment, wherein the second video frame is displayable as a second thumbnail, wherein the first begin tag is distinct from the second begin tag, the first video frame is distinct from the second video frame, and the first video segment is distinct from the second video segment.
