The disclosed embodiments include a computer implemented method to control the presentation of an audio video stream. The method includes obtaining an audio video stream and associating the audio video stream with events. The events include an interpretation of content of the audio video stream. The method further includes obtaining a natural language command, generating a control signal based on the natural language command by referencing a particular event, and using the control signal to control presentation of the audio video stream relative to the particular event.

Natural language navigation relative to events in content of an audio video stream

A computer-implemented method for monitoring and notifying a user of changes to characteristics of interest list items. The method includes recording within a memory of a user device a specification of a user's interest list items and characteristics thereof, and a specification of the user's criteria for notification of changes to the characteristics. The method includes receiving at the user device update information including updated characteristics of interest list items, comparing the update information with the recorded specifications, and determining that the user's criteria for notification of changes to characteristics of interest list items are satisfied. In response, a notification of the changes is generated for the user. The method further includes replacing the recorded characteristics with the updated characteristics of the interest list items.

User notification for digital content access systems per mutable or fixed selection criteria

Assisted viewing of an indexed audio video stream is accomplished by enabling natural language command of an audio video stream repository to control the positioning of or selection within, manner of playback from, or other characteristic or action related to the viewed stream. Embodiments process spoken or textual commands, couched in ordinary natural language, which may include descriptive prose, or references to named persons or entities depicted in the stream. Both pre-recorded and live action audio video streams can be processed. Such processing can include creation anew or augmentation of an associated audio video stream index. Numerous particular useful commands, especially those pertinent to audio video streams of sports contests, are described. Embodiments may set alerts that are triggered by notable events within live action audio video streams, with notification of the user when they occur.
