Technology for identifying segment starting locations in video compilations. The method includes: receiving an enumerated video compilation of a plurality of joined video segments; identifying enumerating text in key frames of the video compilation, wherein the key frames are at time intervals in the video compilation; and storing identified enumerating text information in relation to the key frames. The method then includes: analyzing the stored enumerating text information to identify time locations in the video compilation of a first occurrence of each enumerating value; and providing location references in the video compilation of the identified time locations for navigation.

A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product to perform an intelligent rewind function includes: identifying one or more events that occur during playback of media content; identifying an interrupt event in the one or more events, where the interrupt event is an event that is estimated to be disruptive to a user consuming the media content; locating an event time on a timeline of the media content, where the event time is associated with the interrupt event; and reverting the media content to a rewind time in the timeline, where the rewind time is associated with the event time.

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for video recording of a display device is provided. The present invention may include, recording, with a recording device, a source video having a field of view. The present invention may include, responsive to a record command, controlling a display device to generate a display recording of a visual content displayed by the display device. The present invention may include, obtaining the source video and the display recording. The present invention may include, responsive to the visual content displayed by the display device being visible in the field of view of the source video, incorporating the display recording into the source video so as to replace the visual content displayed by the display device visible in the source video with the display recording.

Video recording of a display device

A computing device and computer automated method for controlling the display of application windows on a computer screen. A background process monitors a user's interaction with applications running on the computing device. The background process logs aspects of the user's interaction with applications, each application being associated with a window. The log is analyzed to detect the presence of a pattern in the user's interaction between any two applications, in particular repeated switching between two applications. If the pattern is detected, then the windows are reconfigured to present one of the windows as a picture-in-picture window within the other window. The automated switching to the picture-in-picture display of the two application windows ensures both windows are visible at the same time without the user having to reconfigure the windows manually.

Window control for simultaneously running applications

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for detecting a minimum viable display resolution is provided. The present invention may include measuring a first quality indicator of a received video file in an original resolution of the received video file. The present invention may then include measuring a second quality indicator of the received video file in a newest resolution of the received video file, wherein the newest resolution of the received video file is a lower resolution relative to the original resolution of the received video file. The present invention may further include, in response to determining that the measured second quality indicator of the newest resolution does not meet a threshold associated with the measured first quality indicator of the original resolution, discarding the newest resolution of the received video file and storing at least one viable display resolution of the received video file.

Method and system for providing hyperlinks in a presentation to be viewed remotely are provided. A presenter computer system provides a presentation capable of being transmitted as presentation data to remote viewer computer systems. A display area content of a display area of the presentation is determined and link information obtained relating to one or more hyperlinks in the display area content including a link destination for each hyperlink. The link information is provided for transmission in association with the presentation data for the display area content in order to display corresponding hyperlinks at the displayed presentation at a viewer computer system.
