  • Publication number: 20140089806
    Abstract: Techniques for enhanced content seek are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor circuit and a content management module, and the content management module may be operative on the processor circuit to receive an instruction to initiate a seek presentation mode for a content item, determine content description information for the content item, and generate seek presentation information comprising the content description information. In this manner, an improved seek presentation may be realized that provides descriptive information regarding portions of content as a seek is being performed through those portions of content, such that a user may be better able to identify a point at which a desired location within the content has been reached. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20140089803
    Abstract: Improved seek techniques for content playback are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor circuit and a content management module, and the content management module may be operable by the processor circuit to determine a seek destination comprising an event within a content item, identify a time index value corresponding to the event, and initiate playback of the content item at the time index value. In this manner, improved seek results may be realized that allow users to seek to specific events or points of interest within consumed content. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
