Systems and Methods for Customizing Presentation of Video Content

Abstract

Systems and methods for customized presentation of video content. In one embodiment, a system includes a processor coupled to one or more data sources that store video content and skip data which identifies potentially objectionable portions of the video content. The processor identifies a user-provided indication of a level of objectionability and determines which portions of the video content are objectionable based on the skip data and user input. The video content that is not indicated to be objectionable is displayed to a user via a video display device, while those portions that are indicated to be objectionable are inhibited by the processor (e.g., by distorting them or simply not displaying them at all). The skip data may be stored independently of the video content, and may be used to customize presentation of the same video content differently for different viewers.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
