Abstract: The present invention can include electronic devices having variable input/output interfaces that can allow a user to interact with the devices with greater efficiency and in a more ergonomic manner. An electronic device of the present invention can display icons associated with user-programmable parameters of a media file. By interacting with the icons, a user can change the user-programmable parameters during playback of the media file. Changes to the user-programmable parameters can affect playback of the remainder of the media file. An electronic device of the present invention also can automatically re-orient images shown on a display and re-configure user input components based on the orientation of the electronic device.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for automatically creating compilation videos from an original video based on metadata associated with the original video. For example, a method for creating a compilation video may include determining a relevance score for video frames in an original video; selecting a plurality of relevant video frames from the original video based on the relevance score; selecting a plurality of video clips from the original video based on the relevance scores of the video frames; and creating a compilation video from the plurality of video clips. Each of the plurality of video clips, for example, may include at least one relevant video frame from the plurality of relevant video frames.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a lifestyle companion system are provided. The lifestyle companion system can provide a platform to conduct a user interview. Based on the user interview responses, the system can suggest activities, references, and/or plug-in modules. During performance of activities, the system can provide audio and/or visual cues related to the activities and collect data indicative of the user's performance. Based on the collected data, the system can dynamically adapt the user's goals and/or activities the user is performing or will perform. In some embodiments of the present invention, the lifestyle companion system of the present invention can be applied to fitness, nutrition, and/or medical modules. The system also can be used to facilitate synchronous group activities.

Abstract: A video system generates a user interface by performing a perspective transition of a video from a first video environment to a second video environment that defines a space and generates a navigation menu in the space.

Abstract: A modular camera expansion system for a modular camera capable of capturing digital video, audio, and photograph data, the modular camera expansion system comprising a processor, a connecting means configured to electrically and mechanically connect the processor to a processor of the modular camera, a user interface connected to the processor which is capable of initiating a process in the processor of the modular camera when the modular camera is connected to the modular camera housing, and a housing which houses the processor, connecting means and user interface, the modular camera expansion system being configured to couple with the modular camera to form an assembled camera whereby the user interface of the modular camera expansion system is used to operate the modular camera.

Abstract: Display representations of a plurality of content items that are similar to a first content item, including a second content item and a third content item, by concurrently displaying: a first representation of the second content item that is displayed adjacent to a broadcast schedule for viewing a broadcast version of the second content item; a second representation of the second content item, different from the first representation of the second content item, that is displayed adjacent to purchase information for purchasing a digital copy of the second content item; and a representation of the third content item that is displayed adjacent to a broadcast schedule for viewing a broadcast version of the third content item.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for automatically creating compilation videos from an original video based on metadata associated with the original video. For example, a method for creating a compilation video may include determining a relevance score for video frames in an original video; selecting a plurality of relevant video frames from the original video based on the relevance score; selecting a plurality of video clips from the original video based on the relevance scores of the video frames; and creating a compilation video from the plurality of video clips. Each of the plurality of video clips, for example, may include at least one relevant video frame from the plurality of relevant video frames.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for automatically creating a compilation video from a source video based on metadata associated with the source video. For example, a method for creating a compilation video may include identifying a source video having a plurality of video frames; identifying metadata associated with the plurality of video frames of the source video; comparing the identified metadata with a machine-learned baseline feature set that indicates interesting metadata; determining that a first video frame of the plurality of video frames is associated with at least a portion of the interesting metadata; and creating the compilation video that includes the first frame of the plurality of video frames based on the first video frame being associated with the at least a portion of the interesting metadata.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for automatically creating compilation videos from a source video based on metadata associated with the source video. For example, a method for creating a compilation video may include receiving a source video having a set of video frames, each video frame in the set of video frames having associated metadata; generating a relevance score for each video frame in the set of video frames based on the associated metadata; selecting a first video frame from the set of video frames based on a first relevance score for the first video frame; and creating the compilation video that includes the first video frame.

Abstract: Media menu items are generated within a media interface environment. Media menu item abstractions are generated, one of the media menu item abstractions arranged in a foreground position, and one or more of the media menu item abstractions arranged in background positions in the media interface environment. Selection of a media menu items transitions to a corresponding content menu interface.
