  • Patent number: 11653043
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for the presentation and marking of media modules. In different aspects, the systems and methods may allow a user to present and consume a media module, particularly a media module containing data that is typically presented in a serial manner such as audio, visual, or video media, and to create a marked media module for quickly and easily returning to a marked point of interest in the media module at a later time or on a different device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11567640
    Abstract: Gestures allow selection and alteration of media files. A video file is graphically illustrated on a touch sensitive display. A gesture input is received at a point of contact on the touch sensitive display and ends with disengagement of the touch sensitive display. A vector is determined from the point of contact to the disengagement of the touch sensitive display. The video file is then modified in response to the vector.

  • Patent number: 11250885
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products insert markers into recorded media modules. A pair of reference points is received that marks a position and another position in a recorded media module. A copy of the recorded media module is retrieved from memory. Portions of the copy of the recorded media module occurring before the position, and occurring after the another position, are discarded. The copy of the recorded media module occurring between the position and the another position is then presented to a user.
