  • Patent number: 10957359
    Abstract: Video information defining video content may be obtained. The video content may include video frames and may have a progress length. The video frames may be encoded into video packets, with the video packets being of particular sizes. One or more size criteria for detecting a given moment within the video content may be obtained. The sizes of the video packets may be compared with the one or more size criteria. One or more sets of the video packets that satisfy the one or more size criteria may be identified. One or more portions of the video content having video frames defined by the set(s) of video packets that satisfy the one or more size criteria may be identified as the given moment within the video content. Storage of the identification of the given moment within the video content in a storage medium may be effectuated.

  • Patent number: 10546598
    Abstract: Audio information defining audio content may be accessed. The audio content may have a duration. The audio content may be segmented into audio segments. Individual audio segments may correspond to a portion of the duration. The audio segments may include a first audio segment corresponding to a first portion of the duration. Energy features, entropy features, frequency features, and/or other features of the audio segments may be determined. Energy features may characterize energy of the audio segments. Entropy features may characterize spectral flatness of the audio segments. Frequency features may characterize highest frequencies of the audio segments. One or more of the audio segments may be identified as containing speech based on the energy features, the entropy features, the frequency features, and/or other information. Storage of the identification of the one or more of the audio segments as containing speech in one or more storage media may be effectuated.

  • Patent number: 10403303
    Abstract: Audio content may have a duration. The audio content may be segmented into audio segments. Individual audio segments may correspond to a portion of the duration. Mel frequency spectral power features, Mel frequency cepstral coefficient features, and energy features of the audio segments may be determined. Feature vectors of the audio segments may be determined based on the Mel frequency spectral power features, the Mel frequency cepstral coefficient features, and the energy features. The feature vectors may be processed through a support vector machine. The support vector machine may output predictions on whether the audio segments contain speech. One or more of the audio segments may be identified as containing speech based on filtering the predictions and comparing the filtered predictions to a threshold. Storage of the identification of the one or more of the audio segments as containing speech in one or more storage media may be effectuated.

  • Patent number: 10187690
    Abstract: Systems and method of automatically detecting user responses from users to media content and correlating the user responses to the media content include a determination of an emotional response by a user—for example a smile—to a presentation of media content. The determined emotional response is correlated to the media content. Subsequent presentation of the same media content includes presentation of an indicator—for example a smiley —that indicates the determined emotional response.

  • Patent number: 9916863
    Abstract: Video information defining video content may be accessed. The video content may include video frames. Motion vectors for the video frames may be determined. The motion vectors may represent motion of one or more visuals captured within individual video frames. A transformation matrix for the video frames may be determined based on the motion vectors. The transformation matrix may characterize rigid transformations between pairs of the video frames. Shakiness metrics for the video frames may be determined based on the transformation matrix. A shakiness threshold may be obtained. One or more of the video frames may be identified based on the shakiness metrics, the shakiness threshold, and algorithms with hysteresis or finite-state machines. A video summary of the video content may be generated. The video summary may include the one or more identified video frames.
