Publication number: 20240107114Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for dynamically generating media content clips based on key events that occur. In particular, the techniques enable key events to be identified among a stream of events that take place in the real world (e.g., at awards events, at social events, at sporting events, etc.) and enable media content clips to be dynamically generated for the key events. In turn, the key events and their respective media content clips can be presented to users for viewing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Augustin J.

Patent number: 10701452Abstract: The systems described herein include a universal browse and watch list that can provide a centralized user interface for presenting recently watched, recommended, and continue watching content items provided by different content providers. For example, a media device can include multiple content provider applications for viewing media items on the media device. When a content provider application presents a media item, the content provider application can send playback status data to a content aggregator application on the media device. The content aggregator application can provide the playback status data to a content aggregator server. The content aggregator application can interact with a content aggregator server to determine which content providers can provide the played media item or related media items. The content aggregator application can provide a centralized user interface that allows the user to initiate playback of media items provided by the various content providers.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Lucas C. Newman, Derek A. Hunter, Sandip M. Chokshi

Publication number: 20180113699Abstract: In some implementations, a system can automatically initiate installation of a content provider application based on a content selection by a user. For example, a user device can present a graphical user interface (GUI) of a watch list application on a display of the user device. The watch list application can present content item suggestions based on subscriptions or purchases that entitle the user to consume media content from various content providers. The user can select a suggested content item provided by a content provider from the watch list application. In response to the user selection, the watch list application can determine that a media content provider application corresponding to the content provider is not installed on the user device and automatically initiate installation of the media content provider application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Inventors: Derek A.
