  • Publication number: 20140258472
    Abstract: A video server assigns topics to portions of a video based on the content of the video. The video is requested by a client device and streamed to the client device for playback. The assigned topics are transmitted to the client device and displayed during video playback as a table of contents and/or a topic treadmill. The table of contents is displayed alongside the video listing each of the topics assigned to a portion of the video. The topic treadmill lists the topics associated with portions of the video that are near the current playback location. The table of contents allows a viewer to jump directly to a portion of a video by interacting with an assigned topic listed in the table of contents. The topic treadmill allows the user to view content associated with the topic.

  • Publication number: 20110125754
    Abstract: Systems and methods for linking to attribute or category pages from a product landing page are described. The landing pages are dynamic filter linked pages (DFLL). Reverse DFLL links specifications in the product landing page back to a result set for an attribute or category using the links. An index builder (one for each category) analyzes the product record data to identify the entire set of values for a category. The index builder then generates category metadata based on this analysis that identifies all of the values within an attribute and/or category. When a request for a particular page is received by the web application, the reverse DFLL links are created for that product page (i.e., the links are created in real time). The specification values for the requested product are compared to the category metadata. If a match is identified, a link is created for that specification in the product landing page that links back to the attribute or category.
