Abstract: Techniques are disclosed that involve providing enhanced user experiences involving the consumption and management of content. For instance, embodiments provide user interface elements that present information regarding content that overcomes barriers or silos between application and platforms. Examples of such user interface elements include a three dimensional carousel, a preview stack, a favorites button, and a My Channel user interface. Also, embodiments may provide techniques for obtaining contextual content. Such techniques include, but are not limited to, zooming mechanisms and combining (or “mashup”) mechanisms.

Abstract: Techniques are described for the management and presentation of content. In one example a first and a second content item are output. A user selection of an association between the first and the second content item is received and, based on the user selection, contextual content corresponding to the first and second content items is obtained.

Abstract: A system and method for the generation of a content fingerprint for content identification are described. Various embodiments include encoding content without any available identifying information, performing a technical analysis of the encoded content for one or more technical attributes, and pairing the available identifying information with the one or more technical attributes to form a content fingerprint, where the content fingerprint identifies the content. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products that filter available content, produce a set of clean, discrete clips, and mix the clips to produce a package of content that matches a user's substantive preferences and conforms to a length and format specified by the user. Clips that do not match the user's preferences may be eliminated from use, as may be clips that have been viewed by the user previously. Moreover, the user can react to the received clips and judge them as to desirability and relevance to his or her preferences. These reactions may then become part of a user's set of preferences for generation of subsequent mixes.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are disclosed for obtaining relevant content in response to metadata associated with video content being viewed on a display screen and for configuring the relevant content for display on the display screen. The relevant content may be configured in response to one or more relevance vectors specifying at least in part a position of the relevant content within a user interface.

Abstract: A system and method for a content fingerprint filter. Various embodiments include receiving content and a preference from a user. The content is encoded without any available identifying information. A technical analysis of the encoded content is performed for one or more technical attributes. The available identifying information is paired with the one or more technical attributes to form a content fingerprint, where the content fingerprint identifies the content. The content fingerprint is combined with the preference to create a content fingerprint filter. The content fingerprint filter is used to filter pieces of available content, where each piece of available content has an associated content fingerprint. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
