  • Patent number: 11636881
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for presenting a user interface in association with video content features. A video content feature is rendered on at least one display. A current scene in the video content feature is determined. Cast members are determined who have appeared in the current scene from a beginning of the current scene up to a current time in the current scene. A user interface is rendered on at least one display. The user interface includes selectable cast member components that each include an image of a cast member, a name of the cast member, and a name of a respective character performed by the cast member.

  • Patent number: 10009664
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing extrinsic data relevant to a video content feature. In one embodiment, where a single cast member performs as multiple characters in the video content feature, the extrinsic data may include character images for each character played by the cast member. In another embodiment, where multiple generic images of a cast member are available, a particular generic image is selected to be included in the extrinsic data according to a measure of relevancy of the generic image to the video content feature. In another embodiment, when a generic image of a cast member is unavailable, an image of the cast member in character is included in the extrinsic data.

  • Patent number: 9747951
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for presenting a timeline interface in association with video content features. A user interface is rendered on a display, where the user interface includes selectable cast member components and a timeline component. The timeline component corresponds to a video content feature and visually segments it into scenes. A user selection of a particular selectable cast member component is received, and a subset of scenes in which a corresponding cast member performs is determined based at least in part on extrinsic data. The timeline component is updated to visually indicate the subset of scenes.
