Abstract
A request from a user to bookmark a segment of content is received at a computing device. The segment of content is identified automatically and/or manually by the user. An expression of the user regarding a particular attribute of the segment of content is obtained, and a bookmark is generated. The bookmark includes both an identification of the segment of content and metadata that includes the expression of the user.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, a request from a user to bookmark a segment of content, the content comprising audio and video;
- identifying the segment of content associated with the bookmark, the segment of content having both a beginning location and an ending location in the content;
- obtaining, using an image capture device, an emotional response of the user, the emotional response of the user being automatically sensed and regarding a particular attribute of the segment of content;
- generating a bookmark that includes both an identification of the segment of content and one or more tags that include the automatically sensed emotional response of the user;
- and
- causing:
- recommending additional content to the user by sending the bookmark to a recommendation service configured to identify the additional content based at least in part on an analysis of bookmarks that have been created in response to requests from the user, wherein recommendation of additional content is based on a particular emotional response of the user being identified more than a threshold number of times;
- and
- splicing together multiple segments by sending the bookmark to a splicing service configured to analyze the bookmark and to splice multiple segments of content together to generate content collections based on bookmarks containing similar emotional responses of the user.

One or more computer storage memory devices having stored thereon multiple instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a user request to bookmark content, the content comprising audio and video;
- identify a segment of the content associated with the bookmark, the segment of content having both a beginning location in the content and an ending location in the content;
- obtain, using an image capture device, an emotional response of the user regarding an attribute of the segment of content, the emotional response being automatically sensed;
- generate a bookmark that includes both an identification of the segment of content and the automatically sensed emotional response of the user;
- and
- cause:
- recommend additional content to the user by sending the bookmark to a recommendation service configured to identify the additional content based at least in part on an analysis of bookmarks that have been created in response to requests from the user, recommendation of additional content being based on a particular emotional response of the user being identified more than a threshold number of times;
- and
- splice together multiple segments by sending the bookmark to a splicing service configured to analyze the bookmark and to splice multiple segments of content together to generate content collections based on bookmarks containing similar emotional responses of the user.

A system comprising:
- a client device having memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the memory comprising instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request from a user to bookmark a segment of audio and video content;
- identifying the segment of the audio and video content associated with the bookmark, the segment of content having both a beginning location and an ending location in the content, the segment of the audio and video content being less than the entire audio and video content;
- obtaining, using an image capture device at the client device, an emotional response of the user, the emotional response being automatically sensed and regarding a particular attribute of the segment;
- generating a bookmark that includes an identification of the segment, one or more tags that include the emotional response of the user, and one or more tags that include characteristics of the segment, the characteristics of the segment including tags added by multiple additional users of other computing devices when creating other bookmarks associated with portions of the audio and video content that are included in the segment;
- recommending additional content to the user by sending the bookmark to a recommendation service configured to identify the additional content based at least in part on an analysis of bookmarks that have been created in response to requests from the user, wherein recommendation of additional content is based on a particular emotional response of the user being identified more than a threshold number of times;
- and
- splicing together multiple segments by sending the bookmark to a splicing service configured to analyze the bookmark and to splice multiple segments of content together to generate content collections based on bookmarks containing similar emotional responses of the user.
