Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for generating a video clip. The video clip may be generated based on applying a query to content metadata to identify a match within a content item. A start boundary and an end boundary for the video clip are determined based on the match(es).
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a query associated with content, the query comprising a first portion and a second portion;
- determining a first match in content metadata for the first portion;
- determining, based on the first match, a start boundary preceding a time associated with the first match;
- determining a second match in the content metadata for the second portion;
- determining, based on the second match, an end boundary following a time associated with the second match;
- and
- generating, based on the start boundary and the end boundary, a portion of the content.

A method comprising:
- receiving a query associated with content, the query comprising a first portion and a second portion;
- determining a first match for the first portion in linear content metadata;
- determining, based on the first match, a start boundary preceding a time associated with the first match;
- determining a second match for the second portion in second linear content metadata received subsequent to the first match;
- determining, based on the second match, an end boundary following a time associated with the second match;
- determining a third match for the first portion or the second portion in third linear content metadata received subsequent to the second match;
- extending, based on the third match, the end boundary to a time associated with the third match;
- and
- generating, based on the start boundary and the end boundary, a portion of the content.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a query associated with content, the query comprising a first portion and a second portion;
- determining a first part of content metadata that is analogous to the first portion;
- determining a start boundary associated with the first part of the content metadata, wherein the start boundary precedes a time associated with the first part of the content metadata;
- determining a second part of the content metadata that is analogous to the second portion;
- determining an end boundary associated with the second part of the content metadata;
- and
- generating, based on the start boundary and the end boundary, a portion of the content.
