Abstract
Techniques segmenting a video using tags without modifying video data thereof are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, each tag is created to define a portion of the video, wherein the tags can be modified, edited, looped, reordered or restored to a create an impression other than that if the video was played back sequentially. The tags are so structured in a table included in a tagging file that can be shared or published electronically or modified or updated by others. Further the table may be modified to include one or more conditional or commercial tags.
Claims20
A method for segmenting a source video, the method comprising:
- accessing by a computing device associated with a user, based on a link, the source video located remotely with respect to the computing device;
- displaying a portion of the source video on a display of the computing device without fully loading data representing the source video into the computing device;
- and
- allowing on the computing device to create a tag file including a plurality of tags in a table, each of the tags corresponding to a time duration to define a video portion in the source video, wherein the time duration is adjusted to define a topic, at least one of the tags is named to reflect the topic in text, the tag file is separate from the source video, the data representing the source video is never modified while the source video is segmented via the tag when the source video is played back on the computing device, wherein
- the tag file is sharable without the data representing the source video enclosed to allow others to view the source video remotely retrieved but locally segmented with the tags in the table.
A system for segmenting a source video, the system comprising:
- a server configured to manage at least an account for a user, the account including a profile of the user, the server sending a part of but not all data representing the source video to a computing device associated with the user upon receiving a link provided by the computing device, wherein a tag file including a plurality of tags in a table, each of the tags corresponding to a time duration to define a video portion in the source video, the time duration is adjusted by the user to define a topic, at least one of the tags is named to reflect the topic in text, the tag file is separate from the source video, the data representing the source video is never modified while the source video is segmented via the tag file on the computing device, and the tag file is shared without the data representing the source video enclosed to allow others to view the source video remotely retrieved but locally segmented with the tags in the table.
