An example method may retrieve a markup language document from an electronic storage device. The markup language document may define a component of an interactive media application and a plurality of resolution dependent parameter sets for the component. The method may continue and determine, using at least one processor, a current resolution of a display device of a playback device and select, using the at least one processor, a parameter set of the plurality of resolution dependent parameter sets for the component based on the current resolution and device. The method may also apply, using the at least one processor, the parameter set to the component; and present, using the at least one processor, the component as part of the interactive media application on the playback device.

Application Markup language

Techniques of generating a knowledge graph metadata network (metadata network) for digital asset management (DAM) are described. A DAM logic/module can obtain one or more first metadata assets describing characteristics associated with digital assets (DAs) in the DA collection. The DAM logic/module can also determine second metadata asset(s) and third metadata asset(s) describing characteristics associated with DAs in the DA collection based on the first metadata asset(s). The DAM logic/module can generate at least some of the metadata assets as nodes in a metadata network associated with the DA collection. The DAM logic/module can also determine, for at least two of the metadata assets, a correlation between the at least two metadata assets. The DAM logic/module can generate an edge in the metadata network between the nodes that represent the at least two metadata assets to represent the determined correlation.

Knowledge graph metadata network based on notable moments

In order to display a set of media items in a visually pleasing manner, the relationship between the set of media items and a plurality of predefined media arrangements may be determined. A score corresponding to the set of media items may be compared to a score corresponding to each of the predefined media arrangements. The media item score and the media arrangement scores may be based on properties of the media items and properties of the media arrangements, respectively. The media arrangement that is most closely related to the set of media items may be identified based on the score comparison and the media items may be displayed in the identified media arrangement.

Semi-automatic organic layout for media streams

A set of media items may be matched with a media arrangement that displays the media items in the set in a group of frames. The media arrangement may extend across an area larger than a viewable area of a display device. In order to determine the media items that appear within a viewable area, a list of media items may be divided into two portions, one on either side of a middle item in the list. If any part of a frame with which the middle item is associated is within an extended spatial area that extends beyond the viewable area, the middle item may be eliminated from the list, when no part of the frame with which the middle item is associated is within the extended area. The process may be repeated until it is determined that a part of a frame with which the middle item is associated is within the extended area.

Viewable frame identification

The disclosure addresses methods and apparatus for evaluating video presentations, particularly those displaying a succession of generally static images to identify the transition from a first image to a second image. The change of images facilitates the insertion of chapter markers which may be later used to index the content of the video and to facilitate navigation to selected content in the video. In one implementation, a difference measurement will be made between selected frames of the video presentation and evaluated with a statistical measure of the magnitude of the difference measurements, such as a Root Mean Square analysis. In preferred implementations, all processing will be done in the digital domain.

Method and apparatus for identifying video transitions

In various embodiments, a method includes receiving a request to initiate recording of media content of an event. The method also includes controlling capturing of the media content by a capture machine in response to the received request. The method includes opening a chat session among one or more persons that are listeners or viewers of the event being captured, wherein the opening is in response to the request to initiate recording of the media content. The chat session comprises one or more entries that include a chat input from the one or more persons and a timecode of the chat input. The method includes receiving a request to stop recording of the media content of the event. The method also includes combining at least a subset of the one or more entries of the chat session with the media content using the time code of the one or more entries.
