System and method for dynamically generating and rendering highlights of a video content

A system for dynamically generating and rendering highlights of a video content playing on a first device, the system comprising:

• a highlights generation and rendering device comprising at least one processor and a computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a start trigger and a stop trigger to generate and render the highlights of a portion of the video content playing on the first device for a registered user, wherein the portion of the video content comprises the video content between the start trigger and the stop trigger, and wherein the start trigger and the stop trigger comprise a sensor based trigger;
• iteratively recording at least one sub-portion of the portion of the video content upon receiving the start trigger and until receiving the stop trigger;
• monitoring the at least one sub-portion of the video content to detect one or more critical events;
• dynamically generating the highlights of the at least one sub-portion of the video content for each of the one or more critical events, wherein dynamically generating the highlights comprises extracting, for a given critical event, a further sub-portion of the video content, from the at least one sub-portion of the video content, comprising the given critical event;
• and
• dynamically rendering the highlights of the at-least one sub-portion of the video content on a second device in possession of the registered user;
• wherein the sensor based trigger is generated from one or more sensors in at least one of the first device, the second device, and the highlights generation and rendering device, and wherein the sensor based trigger comprises at least one of an absence of the registered user from a viewing position of the first device, an engagement of the registered user with the second device, and a movement of the registered user away from the first device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for:

• receiving a start trigger and a stop trigger to generate and render the highlights of a portion of the video content playing on the first device for a registered user, wherein the portion of the video content comprises the video content between the start trigger and the stop trigger, and wherein the start trigger and the stop trigger comprise a sensor based trigger;
• iteratively recording at least one sub-portion of the portion of the video content upon receiving the start trigger and until receiving the stop trigger;
• monitoring the at least one sub-portion of the video content to detect one or more critical events;
• dynamically generating the highlights of the at least one sub-portion of the video content for each of the one or more critical events, wherein dynamically generating the highlights comprises extracting, for a given critical event, a further sub-portion of the video content, from the at least one sub-portion of the video content, comprising the given critical event;
• and
• dynamically rendering the highlights of the at-least one sub-portion of the video content on a second device in possession of the registered user,
• wherein the sensor based trigger is generated from one or more sensors in at least one of the first device, the second device, and the highlights generation and rendering device, and wherein the sensor based trigger comprises at least one of an absence of the registered user from a viewing position of the first device, an engagement of the registered user with the second device, and a movement of the registered user away from the first device.
