Patent number: 9021526Abstract: A method is described for providing a navigation preview file for a video. The method may include identifying a number of content images that may be associated with a video. An arrangement of the content images may be determined that may provide a low granularity preview of the entire length of the associated video where the low granularity preview increasingly becomes more granular as the content images are received on a client device. A navigation preview file may then be constructed according to the arrangement of the content images.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2013Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bradley Michael Baron, Richard Judd Winograd
