A content provision system in which a script that is generated by a creator and includes identification information of content and comment information is stored in a predetermined storage medium to be browsable by a user, the content providing system including a control unit that performs control to execute reading, according to a script selected by the user, content indicated by content identification information included in the script by using a right that the user has already acquired by a contract with a specific service, and provide the content to the user, and control to read a comment according to the comment information included in the script and provide the comment to the user at least one of before or after the provision of the content.

A method, a media device, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for creating a theatrical effect. The method includes receiving, on a media device, a theatrical track; parsing, by the media device, the theatrical track to retrieve Internet of Things metadata; generating, by the media device, Internet of Things instructions from the Internet of Things metadata; and publishing, by the media device, the Internet of Things instructions with presentation timestamps for one or more Internet of Things devices.

This invention discloses a computer-implemented method, caused by a server, for hierarchical causality-based stitching of content and for serving said stitched content as output content, said method comprising: tracking, and measuring, a first set of markers, for a first content consumer, consuming a first content item; tracking, and measuring, a first set of markers, for a second content consumer, consuming a second content item; receiving, by said first content consumer, a request corresponding to a marker from said first set of markers; computing a “pertinence indicator”; computing a “colliding score”; automatically collating said first content item, correlative to said first user, and a second content item, correlative to said second user, to form at least an output content, if said “pertinence indicator” is within said pre-defined rules of correlation and if said “colliding score” is within said pre-determined threshold; and serving said collated output content.

Provided are a search method and apparatus, and an electronic device and a storage medium. The method comprises: receiving a generic query search request, the generic query search request carrying a generic query term; acquiring at least one multimedia content card corresponding to the generic query term, wherein each multimedia content card corresponds to an extension tag corresponding to the generic query search request, each multimedia content card comprises information of a plurality of multimedia content sets; and presenting information of the plurality of multimedia content sets comprised in each multimedia content card of the at least one multimedia content card. Search results related to a generic query term can be clustered from various dimensions and presented, such that a user can directly find content related to a search intention of the user, thereby improving the search efficiency and shortening a search path.

A multimedia interaction method, apparatus, a device, and a medium are provided. The method includes: receiving a triggering operation of a user for a subtitle interaction aggregation identifier on a multimedia display interface, where the multimedia display interface displays a multimedia, a subtitle content for the multimedia, and the subtitle interaction aggregation identifier; and displaying at least one subtitle interaction content corresponding to the subtitle interaction aggregation identifier, where the subtitle interaction content indicates an interaction content for the subtitle content. With the technical solution, since the subtitle interaction aggregation identifier is an aggregated representation of multiple subtitle interaction contents, multiple subtitle interaction contents for the subtitle content of the multimedia may be displayed quickly by a triggering based on the subtitle interaction aggregation identifier, which improves display efficiency for the subtitle interaction content.

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for content-based multimedia retrieval with attention-enabled local focus. In aspects, a search query comprising multimedia content may be received by a search system. A first semantic embedding representation of the multimedia content may be generated. The first semantic embedding representation may be compared to a stored set of candidate semantic embedding representations of other multimedia content. Based on the comparison, one or more candidate representations that are visually similar to the first semantic embedding representation may be selected from the stored set of candidate semantic embedding representations. The candidate representations may be ranked, and top ‘N’ candidate representations (or corresponding multimedia items) may be retrieved and provided as search results for the search query.
