20140282237 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR ASSIGNING MOODS TO CONTENT AND SEARCHING FOR MOODS TO SELECT CONTENT - Systems and methods for content identification and search are described. Content is identified or represented by one or more moods conveyed by the content to viewers. Identified moods are assigned range areas corresponding to each mood. Range areas are assigned spans corresponding to the range areas. Assigned spans are digitized and stored for searching. Searches are initiated by users through the identification of one or more moods and corresponding identification spans within ranges corresponding to the ranges. Once a user has selected at least one search span, a search is performed by looking for content having identification spans that at least partially correspond to the selected search spans, with content being ordered or ranked based on the degree of overlap between the identification spans and the search spans. | 09-18-2014 |
20150134654 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING, SEARCHING, ORGANIZING, SELECTING AND DISTRIBUTING CONTENT BASED ON MOOD - Systems and methods for content identification, selection, organization and distribution are described. Content is identified or represented by one or more moods conveyed by the content to users. Once moods are identified for the content, the content can be searched based on those moods using ranges or sensory perception. Range-based searches are performed by looking for content having corresponding ranges and ranked based on the level of correspondence. Sensory mood searches are based on a user's association with the sensory information provided. Negative limitations may be used to exclude certain content that might otherwise be ranked based on the level of correspondence. Different types of content may be presented to users through a variety of different interfaces that are appropriate for the content. Distribution of content may be structured based on the moods associated with the content. | 05-14-2015 |
20150135077 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CREATING, SEARCHING, ORGANIZING, SELECTING AND DISTRIBUTING VIDEO CONTENT BASED ON MOOD - Systems and methods for content creation, selection, organization and distribution are described. Video content of varying lengths is created based on one or more moods conveyed by the video content to viewers. The content can be searched based on those moods using ranges or sensory moods. Range searches are performed by looking for content having corresponding ranges and ranked based on the level of correspondence. Negative limitations may be used to exclude certain content that might otherwise be ranked based on the level of correspondence. Video content may include a single video related to a single topic, a series of videos related to the same topic, and compilations of videos covering a range of topics and having specified moods in common. Advertisements may be integrated into the video content or associated with the content in other ways. Different types of video content may be presented to users through a variety of different interfaces that are appropriate for the content. Distribution of content may be structured based on the moods associated with the content and used to influence viewers' moods for commercial or other purposes. | 05-14-2015 |
20150205864 | MUSIC SELECTION AND ORGANIZATION USING AUDIO FINGERPRINTS - A content selection system and method for identifying and organizing moods in content using objectively measured scores for rhythm, texture and pitch (RTP) and clustered into six mood classifications based on an objective analysis of the measured scores. Digitized representations of the content may also be identified and organized based on the content's frequency data, three-dimensional shapes derived from the digitized representations, and colors derived from the frequency data. Each piece of content may be identified by at least a mood shape, but may also be identified by a mood color and/or a mood based on the clustered RTP scores and/or the digitized representation. Users of the selection system may be able to view the moods identified in the different manners, or combinations of two or three mood identifying manners and select and organize content based on the identified moods. | 07-23-2015 |
20150220633 | MUSIC SELECTION AND ORGANIZATION USING RHYTHM, TEXTURE AND PITCH - A content selection system and method for identifying and organizing moods in content using objectively measured scores for rhythm, texture and pitch (RTP) and clustered into six mood classifications based on an objective analysis of the measured scores. Digitized representations of the content may also be identified and organized based on the content's frequency data, three-dimensional shapes derived from the digitized representations, and colors derived from the frequency data. Each piece of content may be identified by at least a mood shape, but may also be identified by a mood color and/or a mood based on the clustered RTP scores and/or the digitized representation. Users of the selection system may be able to view the moods identified in the different manners, or combinations of two or three mood identifying manners and select and organize content based on the identified moods. | 08-06-2015 |
20160110041 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTING AND DISPLAYING IDENTIFIED OBJECTS WITHIN VIDEO CONTENT ALONG WITH INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE IDENTIFIED OBJECTS - Systems and methods for identifying objects, such as advertised items or other content, within video content, which may be sequitur or non-sequitur in nature. The identified objects may then be select from within video content by a user to access metadata associated with the objects. The identified objects may be identified to viewers by cues. Cues may be oral, visual or both oral and visual. One or more frames corresponding to a period of video depicting identified objects are displayed in separate object identifiers that may be viewed by the viewer and from within which the identified objects may be selected by the viewer. | 04-21-2016 |
20160110607 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING VIDEO CONTENT TO IDENTIFY OBJECTS AND ASSOCIATE INFORMATION WITH IDENTIFIED OBJECTS - Systems and methods for identifying objects, such as advertised items or other content, within video content, which may be sequitur or non-sequitur in nature. The identified objects may then be select from within video content by a user to access metadata associated with the objects. The identified objects may be identified to viewers by cues. Cues may be oral, visual or both oral and visual. One or more frames corresponding to a period of video depicting identified objects are displayed in separate object identifiers that may be viewed by the viewer and from within which the identified objects may be selected by the viewer. | 04-21-2016 |
20160110884 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING OBJECTS WITHIN VIDEO CONTENT AND ASSOCIATING INFORMATION WITH IDENTIFIED OBJECTS - Systems and methods for identifying objects, such as advertised items or other content, within video content, which may be sequitur or non-sequitur in nature. The identified objects may then be select from within video content by a user to access metadata associated with the objects. The identified objects may be identified to viewers by cues.
