Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for marking multimedia files with file-marks and manipulating multimedia file(s) with the help of file-marks. In an embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method to link searchable keywords and tags to each of the file-marks. Each user of the multimedia file can define an index of file-marks with associated keywords and tags. The user of the multimedia file is provided with an option to play highlights created by a chosen set of users. One or more actions are initiated at the time of file-marking, associating the keywords and tags with a file-mark or at the time of manipulating the file-marked multimedia file. It also provides a method for facilitating file-marking one or more media files by one or more external file-marking device(s). Further, disclosure presents methods to efficiently encode and decode a multimedia file with highlights.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and a system for generating dynamic recommendations in a distributed networking system. The present disclosure provides real time and contextual dynamic recommendations of information and transaction opportunities for needs identified using dynamic profiles of users. The dynamic recommendations are sorted by relevance using several key factors like connection strength, skill-fit-score, group affinity, Item-affinity, rater scores, location proximity etc. In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to generating a health profile of a user in the distributed networking system. The method discloses predicting the possibility of a health disorder affecting a user based on health profiles of other users connected over the network.
