==COMBINING VISUAL AND AUDIO INSIGHTS TO DETECT OPENING SCENES IN  MULTIMEDIA FILES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18090843 titled 'COMBINING VISUAL AND AUDIO INSIGHTS TO DETECT OPENING SCENES IN  MULTIMEDIA FILES

The method described in the patent application is for automatically detecting an introduction/opening song within a multimedia file. 

* Designating sequential blocks of time in the multimedia file as scenes
* Detecting specific features associated with each scene
* Analyzing the extracted scene features to assign probabilities to each scene
* Classifying scenes as correlating or not correlating to the introduction/opening song
* Saving the temporal location of the opening song as index data associated with the multimedia file

Potential Applications:
- Music streaming services could use this technology to automatically identify and skip opening songs in TV show episodes or movies.
- Video editing software could utilize this method to assist in the editing process by automatically detecting and separating opening songs from the rest of the content.

Problems Solved:
- Eliminates the need for manual identification of opening songs in multimedia files.
- Streamlines the process of skipping or editing out opening songs in videos.

Benefits:
- Saves time and effort in identifying and skipping opening songs.
- Improves the user experience by providing a seamless viewing or listening experience without interruptions.

Commercial Applications:
Title: Automated Opening Song Detection Technology for Multimedia Files
This technology could be licensed to streaming platforms, video editing software companies, and multimedia content creators to enhance user experience and streamline content editing processes.

Questions about Automated Opening Song Detection Technology:
1. How does this technology improve the user experience when watching multimedia content?
- This technology enhances the user experience by automatically detecting and skipping opening songs, providing a seamless viewing experience without interruptions.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

Disclosed is a method for automatically detecting an introduction/opening song within a multimedia file. The method includes designating sequential blocks of time in the multimedia file as scene(s) and detecting certain feature(s) associated with each scene. The extracted scene feature(s) may be analyzed and used to assign a probability to each scene that the scene is part of the introduction/opening song. The probabilities may be used to classify each scene as either correlating to or not correlating to, the introduction/opening song. The temporal location of the opening song may be saved as index data associated with the multimedia file.
