Abstract
A system includes a processor that receives, via a communication channel, a portion of content associated with time-localized metadata. The time-localized metadata and a tag mode identifier are retrieved from a database. A tag mode associated with the portion of content is determined based on the time-localized metadata and/or the tag mode identifier. The processor implements a feature based on the time-localized metadata and the tag mode.
Claims24
A method for utilizing time-localized metadata, the method comprising steps of:
- receiving, via a communication channel, a portion of content associated with time-localized metadata;
- retrieving, from a first database, the time-localized metadata and a tag mode identifier;
- determining, based on at least one of the time-localized metadata and the tag mode identifier, a tag mode associated with the portion of content;
- and
- implementing, by a processor, a feature based on the time-localized metadata and the tag mode.
A system for utilizing time-localized metadata, the system comprising at least one processor configured to:
- receive, via a communication channel, a portion of content associated with time-localized metadata;
- retrieve, from a first database, the time-localized metadata and a tag mode identifier;
- determine, based on at least one of the time-localized metadata and the tag mode identifier, a tag mode associated with the portion of content;
- and
- implement a feature based on the time-localized metadata and the tag mode.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions, the sequences of instructions including instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- receiving, via a communication channel, a portion of content associated with time-localized metadata;
- retrieving, from a first database, the time-localized metadata and a tag mode identifier;
- determining, based on at least one of the time-localized metadata and the tag mode identifier, a tag mode associated with the portion of content;
- and
- implementing a feature based on the time-localized metadata and the tag mode.
