Abstract
Techniques for identifying a plurality of scenes relating to a first content item and selecting, using a computing system, two or more scenes, of the plurality of scenes, for a customized content summary for a user are disclosed. This includes identifying a point in time when the user stopped consuming the first content item and selecting the two or more scenes based on the identified point in time. The selected two or more scenes were previously presented to the user, prior to the point in time when the user stopped consuming the first content item. The techniques further include generating the customized content summary, using the computing system, by combining the selected two or more scenes.
Background
BACKGROUND
Viewers of streaming content are sometimes interrupted during viewing, and attempt to continue viewing later. But the barrier to entry of returning to view the content can increase over time, because the viewer will have decreasing recollection of where they stopped, what they have already seen, what was happening, and other details of the content. This can include lack of recollection of prior occurrences in a current content item (e.g., a movie or television episode interrupted during viewing, an audio content item interrupted during listening, a graphic novel interrupted during reading, or any other suitable content item) and lack of recollection of prior, related, content items (e.g., an earlier movie in a series of movies, an earlier television episode, an earlier audio content item in a series of audio content items, or any other suitable content items).
Claims
1. A method, comprising: identifying a plurality of scenes relating to a first content item; selecting, using a computing system, two or more scenes, of the plurality of scenes, for a customized content summary for a user, comprising: identifying a point in time when the user stopped consuming the first content item; and selecting the two or more scenes based on the identified point in time, wherein the selected two or more scenes were previously presented to the user, prior to the point in time when the user stopped consuming the first content item; and generating the customized content summary, using the computing system, by combining the selected two or more scenes. ||
11. A non-transitory computer program product comprising: one or more non-transitory computer readable media containing, in any combination, computer program code that, when executed by operation of any combination of one or more processors, performs operations comprising: identifying a plurality of scenes relating to a first content item; selecting two or more scenes, of the plurality of scenes, for a customized content summary for a user, comprising: identifying a point in time when the user stopped consuming the first content item; and selecting the two or more scenes based on the identified point in time, wherein the selected two or more scenes were previously presented to the user, prior to the point in time when the user stopped consuming the first content item; and generating the customized content summary by combining the selected two or more scenes. ||
