Abstract
A media device is configured to identify an indicia of user interest in at least one media content attribute. At least one segment of an item of media content that is associated with the indicia of interest is identified. An item of derivative content that includes the at least one segment is generated.
Claims20
A media device that includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions including instructions for:
- identifying an indicia of user interest in at least one media content attribute;
- identifying at least one segment of an item of media content that is associated with the indicia of interest;
- and
- generating an item of derivative content that includes the at least one segment.
A media source system that includes at least one computing device comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions including instructions for:
- providing an item of media content to a first media device;
- receiving, from the media device, and storing data to recreate derivative content;
- wherein the derivative content includes at least one segment extracted from the item of media content by the first media device;
- storing an indicia of user interest in at least one attribute associated with the derivative content;
- identifying a second media device based at least in part of the indicia of user interest;
- and
- providing the data sufficient to recreate the derivative content to the second media device.
A method, comprising:
- identifying, in a computer that includes a memory and a processor, an indicia of user interest in at least one media content attribute;
- identifying at least one segment of an item of media content that is associated with the indicia of interest;
- and
- generating an item of derivative content that includes the at least one segment.
