  • Publication number: 20220206647
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to navigating a collection of media items. In accordance with one embodiment, in response to receiving an input, a device displays a first view of a collection of media items, including concurrently displaying a representation of a first time period and a representation of a second time period. In accordance with a determination that a current time is associated with a first recurring temporal event: the representation of the first time period includes a first representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a second representative media item. In accordance with a determination that the current time is associated with a second recurring temporal event, the representation of the first time period includes a third representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a fourth representative media item.

  • Patent number: 10324973
    Abstract: Techniques of generating a knowledge graph metadata network (metadata network) for digital asset management (DAM) are described. A DAM logic/module can obtain one or more first metadata assets describing characteristics associated with digital assets (DAs) in the DA collection. The DAM logic/module can also determine second metadata asset(s) and third metadata asset(s) describing characteristics associated with DAs in the DA collection based on the first metadata asset(s). The DAM logic/module can generate at least some of the metadata assets as nodes in a metadata network associated with the DA collection. The DAM logic/module can also determine, for at least two of the metadata assets, a correlation between the at least two metadata assets. The DAM logic/module can generate an edge in the metadata network between the nodes that represent the at least two metadata assets to represent the determined correlation.

  • Publication number: 20170357672
    Abstract: Techniques of relating at least two digital assets based on digital asset management (DAM) are described. A DAM logic/module can obtain a knowledge graph metadata network (metadata network) of metadata associated with a collection of digital assets (DA collection). The metadata network comprises correlated metadata assets. Each metadata asset is represented a node in the metadata network. A correlation between metadata assets is represented as an edge in the metadata network. The DAM logic/module can select a first metadata asset using the metadata network. The DAM logic/module can also determine that the first metadata asset is associated with a second metadata asset. The DAM logic/module can identify a third metadata asset based on at least one of the first metadata asset or the second metadata asset. The DAM logic/module can cause one or more DAs associated with the third metadata asset to be presented via an output device.
