Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for performing trick plays of segmented video content are provided. A point at which a trick play begins may be based on a playback time associated with a video segment that includes the video frame currently displayed when a request to start the trick play is received. A point at which to resume playback of the normal rate video content may be similarly based on a trick play playback time associated with a trick play video segment that includes the trick play video frame currently outputted when a request to stop the trick play is received.

Performing trick plays of segmented video content

A user device, such as a smartphone or laptop, may be password (passphrase) protected. The user device may combine biometric input analysis, such as facial recognition, with viseme analysis to authenticate a user attempting to use a password (passphrase) to access the user device. Secure authentication methods and systems are described that account for variations in how, based on the user's emotion (e.g., mood, temperament, unique pronunciation, etc. . . . ), a password (passphrase) may be presented to the user device.

Methods and systems for user authentication

In one aspect, the invention provides an interactive, multi-platform video network. In another aspect, the invention provides a dynamic scheduling method.
