Patent number: 10275655Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, an intelligent video thumbnail selection and generation tool may select a relevant and visually stimulating image from a video file and generate a thumbnail including the image. The image may be selected by computing a relevancy metric for an image in the file based on one or more selected relevant features, and comparing that relevancy metric with the metric of at least one other image in the file. In another embodiment, a series of images in a video file may be divided into shots. One of the shots may be selected based on a shot relevancy metric and a key image from the shot may be selected as a thumbnail based on a key image relevancy metric, where the shot relevancy metric and the key image relevancy metrics may be computed based on one or more relevant content features.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: BroadbandTV, Corp.Inventors: Shahrzad Rafati, Mehrdad Fatourechi, Lino Evgueni Coria Mendoza

Publication number: 20170193531Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a market influence analysis engine assesses the potential market influence of digital media content items and/or the influence of associated content creators. The market influence analysis engine identifies digital media content items associated with at least one user-provided content descriptor, sorts the identified digital media content items into different groups such that the digital media content items in each group are associated with a different one of the plurality of content creators. The market influence analysis engine further calculates an influence score associated with each one of the content creators that is based on consumer influence metrics. A subset of the groups for which the calculated influence score satisfies a predetermined influence threshold is identified and information representing such groups is transmitted for presentation to a user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2016Publication date: July 6, 2017Inventors: Mehrdad Fatourechi, Ehsan Vahedi, Di Xu
