  • Publication number: 20240179380
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include detecting, by a computing device, a command to clip a video segment from a video stream. The method may also include extracting, by the computing device, the video segment from the video stream based on the command. Additionally, the method may include automatically identifying, by the computing device, one or more points of interest in the video segment. Furthermore, the method may include determining, by the computing device, one or more sets of coordinates to crop the video segment based on a predetermined aspect ratio and the one or more points of interest. Finally, the method may include creating, by the computing device, a short-form video by cropping and reformatting the video segment based on the one or more sets of coordinates. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10536542
    Abstract: A dynamic content delivery service inserts users into groups based on when they access the service and/or known user interests, and the group provides reactions to videos or other content served to the group. Action rules determine what happens to the group as they interact with the service. For example, based on group reactions at specific time points, some or all users in the group can be switched to a new video or multiple different new videos. User reactions to content can be used to determine where to route the user when action rules indicate they should be redirected.

  • Publication number: 20070124169
    Abstract: A medical imaging scanner is constructed such that its data acquisition subsystem is located at the site of a medical imaging scan. Through either a wired or wireless link, the raw data collected during the scan is transmitted to a remotely located image processing and reconstruction subsystem that processes the raw data to reconstruct an image. Preferably, the remotely located image processing and reconstruction subsystem is located at a centralized facility and is connected to receive and process data from various scanners. The remotely located image processing and reconstruction subsystem is preferably equipped to process and reconstruct an image from data acquired with multiple types of medical imaging scanners. In this regard, reconstruction of a CT, PET, MR, x-ray, or the like image can be carried out remotely from the scanner used to acquire the corresponding raw data.
