Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described that enable consumers of media content to identify and navigate to content of interest. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided in association with media content in which entities (e.g., keywords or distinct speakers) represented in the media content are presented in relation to the media timeline of the media content.
Claims15
A device, comprising one or more processors and memory configured to:
- present a user interface on a display associated with the device, the user interface including one or more elements configured for specifying portions of media content presented on the display including specifying portions of the media content at multiple time scales, the one or more elements of the user interface including a slider element associated with a representation of a media timeline of the media content;
- adjust a width of the slider element to represent a corresponding one of the time scales;
- identify a first set of entities and a second set of entities using metadata associated with the media content, the metadata including the first and second sets of entities and identifying corresponding ranges of the media content for each entity, the ranges of the media content associated with a first entity corresponding to multiple time scales;
- receive first input representing use of the one or more elements of the user interface to specify a first portion of the media content;
- present the first set of entities on the display, the first set of entities being represented in a first range of the media content corresponding to the first portion of the media content;
- receive second input representing use of the one or more elements of the user interface to specify a second portion of the media content;
- and
- present the second set of entities on the display, the second set of entities being represented in a second range of the media content corresponding to the second portion of the media content.

A device, comprising one or more processors and memory configured to:
- present a user interface on a display associated with the device, the user interface including one or more elements configured for specifying portions of media content presented on the display including specifying portions of the media content at multiple time scales, the one or more elements of the user interface including a slider element associated with a representation of a media timeline of the media content;
- adjust a width of the slider element to represent a corresponding one of the time scales;
- receive first input representing a first entity;
- identify one or more first ranges of the media content in which the first entity is represented using metadata associated with the media content, the metadata including a plurality of entities and identifying, for each entity, corresponding ranges of the media content in which the entity is represented, the ranges of the media content associated with the first entity corresponding to multiple time scales;
- and
- update the representation of the media timeline based on the one or more first ranges to reflect one or more occurrences of the first entity relative to the media timeline of the media content.
