Systems and methods of automatically extracting summaries of video content are described herein. A data processing system can access, from a video database, a first video content element including a first plurality of frame. The data processing system can select an intervallic subset of the first plurality of frames of the first video content element. The data processing system can calculate, for each of a plurality of further subsets comprising a predetermined number of frames from the intervallic subset, a score for the further subset. The data processing system can identify, from the plurality of further subsets, a further subset having a highest score. The data processing system can select a portion of the first video content element comprising the frames of the further subset having the highest score. The data processing system can generate a second video content element comprising the selected portion of the first video content element.

Summarizing video content

Methods and apparatus for providing travel-related information for a location to a user based on activity indications of the user that are related to the location. The location may be determined based on a set of one or more related activity indications and a travel-related score may be determined for the location that is indicative of likelihood that the user has interest in travelling to the location. The user may be provided the travel-related information for the location based on the travel-related score.

A system and method for error handling associated with a widget are disclosed. The system comprises a registration module, a communication interface, a command module, a manager monitoring module and an error detection engine. These entities are communicatively coupled to each other. The registration module registers a widget to be hosted on the host page. The host page is presented on a user device. The communication interface receives a notification indicating that the widget is ready to be displayed on the host page and sends the notification to the manager monitoring module. The manager monitoring module instructs the command module to generate a command to display the widget. The command is sent to the user device for displaying the widget. The manager monitoring module monitors the displayed widget. The error detection engine detects an error associated with the widget and performs an error correction procedure to the widget.

Error handling for widgets

A system and method for deferring the loading of user interface (UI) components of a web page. A processing module receives data describing user activities and generates user behavior data for a user in a social network. A component engine generates the data for loading different UI components of the web page. A user behavior module receives the user behavior data and determines an order in which each UI component of the web page is loaded. A loading engine transmits data to a user's browser for loading a static version of the web page and then loads the different UI components according to the order.

Deferred loading of a web page

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for extending a gadget. During operation, the system initially executes a gadget extension which extends a host gadget. In doing so, the system obtains from the gadget extension a specifier for the host gadget and a specifier for an interface. Next, the system establishes a communication interface between the gadget extension and the host gadget through the interface. Finally, the system uses functionality of the host gadget within the gadget extension via communication through the communication interface.
