Patent number: 10685680Abstract: A method includes grouping media items associated with a user into segments based on a timestamp associated with each media item and a total number of media items. The method also includes selecting target media from the media items for each of the segments based on media attributes associated with the media item. The method also includes generating a video that includes the target media for each of the segments by generating a first animation that illustrates a first transition from a first item from the target media to a second item from the target media with movement of the first item from an onscreen location to an offscreen location, wherein the first item is adjacent to the second item in the first animation and determining whether the target media includes one or more additional items. The method also includes adding a song to the video.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2019Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Shengyang Dai, Timothy Sepkoski St. Clair, Koji Ashida, Jingyu Cui, Jay Steele, Qi Gu, Erik Murphy-Chutorian, Ivan Neulander, Flavio Lerda, Eric Charles Henry, Shinko Yuanhsien Cheng, Aravind Krishnaswamy, David Cohen, Pardis Beikzadeh

Patent number: 9712800Abstract: A system and method for identifying one or more notable moments from video data are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a video receiving module, an identification criteria module, a moment identification module and a presentation module. The video receiving module receives video data. The identification criteria module determines one or more criteria for identifying a notable moment. The one or more criteria are based at least in part on one or more of an audio indicator and a facial indicator. The moment identification module automatically identifies at least one notable moment in the video data based at least in part on the one or more criteria. The at least one notable moment is based on a subset of the video data. The presentation module sends the identified at least one notable moment for presentation to at least one user.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2012Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Timothy Sepkoski St. Clair
