Abstract
Example embodiments provide systems and methods for rewinding digital content during playback based on context of the digital content. A content rewind system electronically accesses digital content. A rewind trigger is detected by the system. The system analyzes the digital content to detect at least one dialog segment within the digital content. The analysis is based on context of the digital content (e.g., dialog within the digital content). The system rewinds playback of the digital content by rewinding to a starting point of a previous dialog segment.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- electronically accessing, by a content access module, digital content;
- causing display of the digital content on a device of a user;
- detecting, using one or more hardware processors, a rewind trigger issued by the user;
- determining whether the rewind trigger is part of a set of successive rewind triggers occurring within a predetermined period of time, the set of successive rewind triggers comprises either a plurality of successive verbal commands or a plurality of successive activations of a button by the user;
- in response to determining that the rewind trigger is part of the set of successive rewind triggers occurring within the predetermined period of time, determining a number of successive rewind triggers occurring within the predetermined period of time;
- and
- rewinding the display of the digital content to a starting point of a previous-n dialog segment identified based on analysis of dialog in the digital content, where n corresponds to the number of successive rewind triggers in the set.
(canceled)
A machine-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- electronically accessing digital content;
- causing display of the digital content on a device of a user;
- detecting a rewind trigger issued by the user;
- determining whether the rewind trigger is part of a set of successive rewind triggers occurring within a predetermined period of time, the set of successive rewind triggers comprises either a plurality of successive verbal commands or a plurality of successive activations of a button by a viewer;
- in response to determining that the rewind trigger is part of the set of successive rewind triggers occurring within the predetermined period of time, determining a number of successive rewind triggers occurring within the predetermined period of time;
- and
- rewinding the display of the digital content to a starting point of a previous-n dialog segment identified based on analysis of dialog in the digital content, where n corresponds to the number of successive rewind triggers in the set.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
- electronically accessing digital content;
- causing display of the digital content on a device of a user;
- detecting a rewind trigger issued by the user;
- determining whether the rewind trigger is part of a set of successive rewind triggers occurring within a predetermined period of time, the set of successive rewind triggers comprises either a plurality of successive verbal commands or a plurality of successive activations of a button by a viewer;
- in response to determining that the rewind trigger is part of the set of successive rewind triggers occurring within the predetermined period of time, determining a number of successive rewind triggers occurring within the predetermined period of time;
- and
- rewinding the display of the digital content to a starting point of a previous-n dialog segment identified based on analysis of dialog in the digital content, where n corresponds to the number of successive rewind triggers in the set.
