Abstract: A method includes receiving a plurality of videos, each of the videos include audio content and video content served by a content sharing platform via a network; determining whether a video in the plurality of videos is suitable for an audio-only mode based on whether an amount of movement in the video is below a certain threshold; and responsive to the determining that the video is suitable for the audio-only mode, causing the video to play on a client device in the audio-only mode.

Abstract: A method for serving an audio-only shared content on a video sharing web site, including: receiving a playlist listing a plurality of videos; determining a content identification (content-id) for the plurality of the videos in the playlist; determining that the content-id for the plurality of videos corresponds to an audio-related category; selecting audio-only shared content based on the determination that the content-id corresponds to the audio-related category; and inserting the audio-only shared content between two of the plurality of videos.

Abstract: A method for event-based comment grouping for content items is disclosed. The method includes identifying, by a processing device, user comments corresponding to a content item, the user comments comprising playback timestamps having selectable links to access a portion of the content item that is associated with a respective time interval, dividing the content item into a plurality of content item segments that are associated with respective time intervals, grouping the user comments to associate with respective content item segments based on the playback timestamps of the user comments, selecting a content item segment of the content item segments based on interactions with the user comments, and providing a subset of the grouped user comments associated with the selected content item segment for display during playback of the content item.

Abstract: A user input indicating a request to preview a media item at a particular point in time in the media item is received from a client device and it is determined whether a length of a scene covering the particular point in time corresponds to a single preview or multiple previews. Responsive to the length of the scene corresponding to the single preview, the single preview is provided for display on the client device. Responsive to the length of the scene corresponding to the multiple previews, a portion of the scene covering the particular point in time is identified, and a preview associated with the identified portion of the scene is provided for display on the client device.

Abstract: A method for event-based comment grouping for content items is disclosed. The method includes identifying comments corresponding to a content item, the comments comprising playback timestamp information transformed into selectable links to access a corresponding portion of the content item during playback of the content item, dividing the content item into a plurality of time interval segments, grouping the received comments into the time interval segments based on the playback timestamp information of each comment, selecting a time interval segment of the time interval segments, and providing comments corresponding to the selected time interval segment for display during playback of the content item.

Abstract: Distribution of various processing tasks is performed for a plurality of comparison objects, such as videos and/or other media content in a matching system. The plurality of comparison objects can include at least one feature that is compared to at least one feature of a plurality of reference objects to determine whether a match occurs in the comparison. Task descriptions corresponding to the processing tasks are distributed with the different processing tasks to a task pool. Matching components select at least one task from the task pool based on the task descriptions.

Abstract: A plurality of scenes in a digital video are identified. The length of each scene is compared with a first threshold length and a second threshold length. When the scene is longer than the first threshold length and does not exceed the second threshold length, a first preview is generated for the scene. When the scene is longer than the first threshold length and longer than the second threshold length, a plurality of previews for the scene is generated.

Abstract: An operating system emulator determines energy consumption by hardware components being simulated during testing of mobile applications. The operating system emulator can be configured to track and determine the energy consumption of hardware components by using predefined energy utilization specifications. As the operating system emulator executes an application, the operating system emulator can track the utilization of the hardware components by the application being tested. To determine energy consumption, the operating system emulator can utilize energy consumption specifications of the hardware components and the utilization of the hardware components by the application.

Abstract: A technique transfers data between geographically dispersed entities belonging to a virtual-local-area network (VLAN). According to the technique, geographically dispersed entities communicate via software-defined virtual ports that “appear” as physical ports to the entities. Each virtual port, in turn, is associated with one or more connections wherein each connection may be associated with one or more VLANs. Data generated on a particular VLAN that is destined for a remote entity is forwarded to a virtual port which, in turn, transfers the data to the remote entity over the connection associated with the VLAN. Moreover, state is maintained at each virtual port for each connection, thereby enabling the virtual ports to support various protocols that operate with physical ports.
