METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR MODIFYING THE PRESENTATION OF VIDEO CONTENT ON A USER DEVICE BASED ON A CONSUMPTION OF THE USER DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18244486 titled 'METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR MODIFYING THE PRESENTATION OF VIDEO CONTENT ON A USER DEVICE BASED ON A CONSUMPTION OF THE USER DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and media for modifying the presentation of video content on a user device based on the consumption mode of the device. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves receiving a request to present a video content item on a user device.
  • The audio portion of the video content item is analyzed to identify a segment with a particular type of audio content (e.g., silent, music, speech, theatrical, etc.).
  • The consumption mode of the user device is determined.
  • A modified version of the video content item is generated by removing the portion that corresponds to the identified segment of audio content.
  • The modified video content item is then presented on the user device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Customized viewing experience: Users can have a tailored video presentation based on their device's consumption mode.
  • Noise reduction: The technology can remove unwanted audio segments, such as silence or background noise, to enhance the viewing experience.
  • Personalized content: Users can have specific types of audio content filtered out based on their preferences.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inconsistent viewing experiences: Different devices may have different capabilities or limitations, and this technology ensures that the video content is adapted accordingly.
  • Unwanted audio distractions: Users may want to remove certain types of audio content that they find distracting or irrelevant.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience: Users can enjoy a video presentation that is optimized for their device and preferences.
  • Enhanced content consumption: By removing unwanted audio segments, users can focus on the relevant parts of the video content.
  • Increased accessibility: Users with specific audio preferences or limitations can have a more accessible video experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and media for modifying the presentation of video content on a user device based on a consumption mode of the user device are provided. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises: receiving, from a user device, a request to present a video content item, wherein the video content item includes an audio portion; identifying a segment of the audio portion as including a particular type of audio content (e.g., silent content, music content, speech content, theatrical content, non-musical content, etc.); determining a consumption mode associated with the user device; generating a modified video content item based on the consumption mode associated with the user device by removing a portion of the video content item that corresponds to the segment of the audio portion identified as including the particular type of audio content; and causing the modified video content item to be presented on the user device.
