Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device may generate a day view, month views, and year view that show cards specific to each view. The cards include images, videos, and/or other assets from a media library that reflect a corresponding time frame of the card on which the assets are displayed. A selected view is presented in a graphical user interface (GUI) for interaction with a user of the media library. Upon selection of an asset displayed to the GUI, the view is switched to show more assets from a time frame similar to the selected asset while maintaining a focus on the selected asset.

Abstract: An example method may retrieve a markup language document from an electronic storage device. The markup language document may define a component of an interactive media application and a plurality of resolution dependent parameter sets for the component. The method may continue and determine, using at least one processor, a current resolution of a display device of a playback device and select, using the at least one processor, a parameter set of the plurality of resolution dependent parameter sets for the component based on the current resolution and device. The method may also apply, using the at least one processor, the parameter set to the component; and present, using the at least one processor, the component as part of the interactive media application on the playback device.

Abstract: A system and method for rearranging thumbnail image display in response to a change in live window size. For a plurality of thumbnail images, the electronic device concatenates the plurality of images into two or more intermediate thumbnail image strips. The electronic device then arranges the two or more intermediate thumbnail image strips into one or more rows based on the current display window size. The electronic device detects change of the display window size from the current display window size to a new display window size. In accordance with detecting a change of the display window size, the electronic device re-arranges the two or more intermediate thumbnail image strips into a new row configuration without reloading the plurality of thumbnail images.

Abstract: The disclosure addresses methods and apparatus for evaluating video presentations, particularly those displaying a succession of generally static images to identify the transition from a first image to a second image. The change of images facilitates the insertion of chapter markers which may be later used to index the content of the video and to facilitate navigation to selected content in the video. In one implementation, a difference measurement will be made between selected frames of the video presentation and evaluated with a statistical measure of the magnitude of the difference measurements, such as a Root Mean Square analysis. In preferred implementations, all processing will be done in the digital domain.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a method includes receiving a request to initiate recording of media content of an event. The method also includes controlling capturing of the media content by a capture machine in response to the received request. The method includes opening a chat session among one or more persons that are listeners or viewers of the event being captured, wherein the opening is in response to the request to initiate recording of the media content. The chat session comprises one or more entries that include a chat input from the one or more persons and a timecode of the chat input. The method includes receiving a request to stop recording of the media content of the event. The method also includes combining at least a subset of the one or more entries of the chat session with the media content using the time code of the one or more entries.

Abstract: The disclosure identifies a system and method for defining variable parameters to control a workflow. The control of the workflow is achieved in part through presentation and control of a user interface to a processor-based system that identifies variable parameters to the workflow and provides a mechanism by which such variable parameters may be input to the processing system. In some examples, only inputs of a subset of the variable parameters may be input at a single time. Similarly, in some examples, the system may control which variable parameters may be input at a given time in reference to prior inputs of other variable parameters.
