Apparatus and Method for Recording Transition History and Selecting Next Playback from the Transition History

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and configured to play back a first media content segment;
• determine if a first source media content segment, which is one of the first media content segment and a segment similar to the first media content segment, exists in a transition history stored in the memory, the transition history including transitions from at least one source media content segment to at least one destination media content segment;
• and if the first source media content segment exists, play back a first destination media content segment transitioned from the first source media content segment in the transition history.

A computer program product stored in non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions for:

• playing back a first media content segment;
• determining if a first source media content segment exists in a transition history, which is one of the first media content segment and a similar segment to the first media content segment, the transition history including transitions from at least one source media content segment to at least one destination media content segment;
• and
• if the first source media content segment exists, playing back a first destination media content segment transitioned from the first source media content segment in the transition history.
