G06F 3/048

Abstract:

A virtual reality (VR) system including a head mounted display (HMD), a sensor or input device, and options, selection, and display modules. The HMD displays a VR environment including sports content of a live game, a prerecorded game, or a sports channel. The options module generates an options signal to show viewing options in the VR environment. The viewing options define viewing aspects for viewing the sports content within the VR environment. The sensor or input device generates signals based on detection of movement of the HMD, movement of an eyeball of a user, user voice communication, or user contact with the input device. The selection module, based on the signals: selects the sports content and a viewing option; and generates a selection signal. The display module displays the sports content in the VR environment based on the selection signal.

Abstract:

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for collective determination of interesting portions of a video program, video tagging, and jump playback within the video program. A processor can obtain interest inputs for video content associated with a video program and can send the information to an aggregator server. The aggregator server can collect and analyze the information, determine interest indications for interesting portions of the video program, generate metadata, and send the metadata to devices. Devices can use the metadata to enable jump functionality. The metadata can be correlated with recorded content that corresponds to the video program to indicate interesting portions of the recorded content. A user interface can be presented. The user interface can include a timeline for the video program and controls to navigate to portions of the video program that are indicated as interesting by the metadata.

Abstract:

A virtual reality (VR) system including a head mounted display (HMD), a sensor or an input device, a selection module, a scoreguide module and a display module. The HMD displays a VR environment including sports content of a live game, a prerecorded game, or a sports channel. The sensor or input device is connected to the HMD and generates signals based on detection of at least one of movement of the HMD, movement of an eyeball of a user, voice communication of the user, or user contact with the input device. The selection module selects the sports content based on the signals and generates a selection signal indicating the sports content. The scoreguide module generates a scoreguide based on the signals. The display module displays the sports content in the VR environment based on the selection signal and displays the scoreguide in the VR environment based on the signals.

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein may provide for facilitating management of recorded digital video. An example method may involve a computing device (a) initiating playback of a recorded digital video file, (b) during playback of the recorded digital video file, receiving a request to stop playback, (c) responsive to receiving the request: (i) determining a stop point in the recorded digital video file and (ii) initiating a prompt asking whether or not to delete a portion of the recorded digital video file preceding the stop point, (d) responsive to the prompt, receiving a request to delete the portion preceding the stop point, and (e) responsively deleting the portion. In a further aspect, the computing device may also provide for display a visual representation of the stop point, an amount of the digital video file preceding the stop point, and an amount of the digital video file remaining after the stop point.
