Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to the delivery of media content over a network. Specifically, aspects are directed to identification and/or extraction of a selected data such as a video clip from content and providing identifying information to a user to retrieve, view, and/or share the selected video clip. Aspects described herein provide the ability to identify a starting point and stopping point of a video clip on a media gateway device and generate a URL that can be used and/or shared in order to access the selected video clip. The URL may identify a stored media clip, or may contain information from which a video clip can be recreated.
Claims28
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, first input information indicating first user input associated with a content item;
- determining, based on the content item and the first input information, a media clip that comprises a portion of the content item;
- generating a first uniform resource locator;
- receiving a request to access the first uniform resource locator;
- receiving second input information indicating second user input associated with the media clip;
- determining, based on the second input information, a modified version of the media clip;
- and
- generating, based on the modified version of the media clip, a second uniform resource locator.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, first input information indicating a first user input associated with a content item;
- sending, by the computing device and to a first device, the first input information;
- receiving, by the computing device and from the first device, a first uniform resource locator associated with a media clip that comprises a portion of the content item;
- sending the uniform resource locator;
- sending second input information indicating second user input associated with the media clip;
- and
- receiving a second uniform resource locator associated with a modified version of the media clip.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the computing device to:
- receive first input information indicating first user input associated with a content item;
- determine, based on the content item and the first input information, a media clip that comprises a portion of the content item;
- generate a first uniform resource locator;
- receive a request to access the first uniform resource locator;
- receive second input information indicating second user input associated with the media clip;
- determine, based on the second input information, a modified version of the media clip;
- and
- generate, based on the modified version of the media clip, a second uniform resource locator.
