Abstract
A apparatus and method for automated temporal compression of content is disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor and a temporal compression module. The processor implements the temporal compression module to provide a given work of multimedia content at a plurality of playback rates.
Claims27
A method of providing a work of multimedia content, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving user input, wherein the user input is included in a group comprising desired playback duration (TD) and desired average playback rate ({overscore (ν)}D);
- categorizing segments the multimedia content based at least in part upon information carried by the multimedia content;
- and
- using the user input to determine playback rates for the segments of the multimedia content.
