Abstract
A user can create an online presentation by receiving audio and/or video media items from a search and dividing at least one of the audio and/or video media items into smaller time duration segments. The user can then utilize the smaller segments to create the presentation.
Claims9
A computer implemented method for the collection and segmentation of media, the method comprising:
- selecting a media search source via a user interface;
- providing a form-based interface that allow the entry of inputs to form a media search query;
- submitting the media search query to the media search source;
- receiving a media search result for viewing on the user interface based on the media search query, the media search result comprising audio or video media items;
- displaying the media search result in a collection depository on the user interface;
- dividing at least one of the media items into a plurality of smaller time segments;
- receiving a user-selected selected style, from a plurality of different styles for a visual presentation;
- and
- automatically populating the user-selected style with at least one of the smaller time segments based on the user-selected style,
- wherein the at least one media item is divided in the plurality of smaller time segments of a predetermined duration,
- wherein the duration is based on one of time or data size, and
- wherein the method is performed by one or more processors adapted to execute instructions stored on one or more memory components of the computer.

- provide a form-based interface that allow the entry of inputs to form a media search query;
- submit the media search query to the media search source;
- receive a media search result for viewing on the user interface based on the media search query, the media search result comprising audio or video media items;
- display the media search result in a collection depository on the user interface;
- and
- divide at least one of the media items into a plurality of smaller time segments receive a user-selected selected style, from a plurality of different styles, for a visual presentation;
- and
- automatically populate the user-selected style with at least one of the smaller time segments based on the user-selected style;
- wherein the at least one media item is divided in the plurality of smaller time segments of a predetermined duration,
- wherein the duration is based on one of time or data size.

- receiving a media search result for viewing on the user interface based on the media search query, the media search result comprising audio or video media items;
- displaying the media search result in a collection depository on the user interface;
- dividing at least one of the media items into a plurality of smaller time segments;
- receiving a user-selected selected style, from a plurality of different styles, for a visual presentation;
- and
- automatically populating the user-selected style with at least one of the smaller time segments based on the user-selected style;
- wherein the at least one media item is divided in the plurality of smaller time segments of a predetermined duration,
- wherein the duration is based on one of time or data size.
