segmenting the media content into a plurality of segments; wherein an at least one of the plurality of segments is associated with a metadata; wherein said metadata comprising characteristics; ranking a relevancy of each of the plurality of segments; wherein the ranking comprising associating scores to the segments according to the metadata; and selecting an at least one selected segment from said plurality of segments; wherein the at least one selected segment is associated with a highest score from the scores. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An automatic summarizing method; the method comprising: receiving from a computerized device a request for summarizing a media content; segmenting said media content into a plurality of segments; wherein an at least one of said plurality of segments being associated with a metadata; wherein said metadata comprising characteristics; ranking a relevancy of each of said plurality of segments; wherein said ranking comprising associating scores to said segments according to said metadata; and selecting an at least one selected segment from said plurality of segments; wherein said at least one selected segment being associated with a highest score from said scores. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one characteristic of said at least one segment comprising a reference of an at least one user. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one characteristic comprising characteristic of said media content. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1; wherein said characteristic further comprises a rating associated with said segment. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising analyzing a behavior of an at least one user for providing said reference from said at least one user. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein said request further comprising a parameter of a key word and; wherein said associating said score further comprising calculating a proximity of said key word to words in an at least one segment of said plurality of segments. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, further comprising translating said media content into a textual document prior to said associating said score. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein said calculating further comprising morphology testing. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein said segmenting being according to time. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein said method further comprising combining an at least one selected segment from said plurality of segments into a combined segment; wherein said score associated with said at least one selected segments being higher from or at least equal to said score associated with segments from said plurality of segments not being in said combined segment; wherein a combined length of said combined segment being substantially equal to a requested length. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein said segmenting being according to content. ### Claim 12 An automatic summarizing method; the method comprising receiving from a computerized device a request for summarizing a media content into a summarized media content; segmenting a media content into a plurality of segments; ranking a relevancy of each of said plurality of segments; wherein said ranking comprising associating a score to an at least one of said segments; and combining an at least one selected segment from said plurality of segments into a combined segment; wherein said score associated with said at least one selected segments being higher from or at least equal to said score associated with segments from said plurality of segments not being in said combined segment; wherein a combined length of said combined segment being substantially equal to a requested length. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12; further comprising ordering said at least one segments in said combined segment according to chronological order. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12; further comprising ordering said at least one segments in said combined segment according to said score associated with said at least one segments. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12; further comprising ordering said at least one segments in said combined segment according to chronological order and according to said score associated with said at least one segments. ### Claim 16 An automatic summarizing apparatus; the apparatus comprising: a transmitting unit configured for receiving from a computerized device a request for summarizing a media content; and a processor configured for segmenting said media content into a plurality of segments; wherein an at least one of said plurality of segments being associated with a metadata; wherein said metadata comprising characteristics for ranking a relevancy of each of said plurality of segments; wherein said ranking comprising associating scores to said segments according to said metadata; and for selecting an at least one selected segment from said plurality of segments; wherein said at least one selected segment being associated with a highest score from said scores. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The apparatus of claim 16, wherein said at least one characteristic of said at least one segment comprising a reference of an at least one user. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The apparatus claim 16, wherein said at least one characteristic comprising characteristic of said media content. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The apparatus of claim 16, wherein said reference from said at least one user further comprises a feedback. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The apparatus of claim 16, wherein said characteristic comprises a rating associated with said segment.
