Systems and methods to associate multimedia tags with user comments and generate user modifiable snippets around a tag time for efficient storage and sharing of tagged items

摘要

In order to organize and reference multimedia content that is presented on a television or other media devices, a tagging system and method are utilized. An approach is described to tag multimedia content at specific times, record text, audio and/or video, and comment at specific times in the multimedia content. For tagging, commenting, and sharing particular moments of multimedia content, automatic content recognition (ACR) is used. ACR supports tagging and recording of snippets of the multimedia content at specific times. Snippets are displayed by using a thumbnail of pictures or small multimedia clips. The snippets can be commented on and shared with selected users or groups of users. An automatic highlight playlist of a multimedia content can be generated, and various filtering operations of the tags, comments and snippets can also be performed.
