A rating interface system and method are provided that allow human users to continuously rate the impact they or other human users and/or their avatars are having on themselves or others during interpersonal interactions, such as conversations or group discussions. The system and method provide time stamping of users' ratings data and audio and video data of an interaction, and correlate the ratings data with the audio and video data at selected time intervals for subsequent analysis.

One or more computing devices may be configured to identify information corresponding to a program change request associated with a multi-program data transmission. The information may comprise at least a link to a desired program within the multi-program data transmission. The one or more computing devices may communicate the link to the desired program to a client device over a specified time period. After the time period, the one or more computing devices may communicate the desired program to the client device using a single program data transmission. The single program data transmission may be derived from the multi-program data transmission.

A first set of contextual dimensions is generated from one or more textual descriptions associated with a given event, which includes one or more examples. A second set of contextual dimensions is generated from one or more visual features associated with the given event, which includes one or more visual example recordings. A similarity structure is constructed from the first set of contextual dimensions and the second set of contextual dimensions. One or more of the textual descriptions is matched with one or more of the visual features based on the similarity structure.

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for displaying content associated with a video element of a video are provided. For example, a video may comprise video elements (e.g., pixels of frames of the video depicting an entity such as a car, an actor, a monument, etc.) that are tagged with content tags (e.g., a textual string such as a search query used to obtain content from content providers). When a user interacts with the video element (e.g., a touch gesture, such as a pressure sensitive gesture, on a video element depicting the actor), content associated with a content tag used to tag the video element may be retrieved (e.g., an image, a social network profile, search results, and/or other content associated with the actor). In this way, the content may be provided to the user for further action or learning about the entity depicted by the video element.

A system and method for linking content files is disclosed. The system comprises a targeting module, a link generation module and a graphic user interface module (GUI module). The targeting module determines a target content file based at least in part on an uploaded content file. The target content file comprises a long form content file. The link generation module is communicatively coupled to the targeting module for generating a link to the target content file. The GUI module is communicatively coupled to the targeting module and to the link generation module for generating a web page. The web page includes a playable version of the uploaded content file and the link to the target content file.

A method of verifying a recording of a live audition is provided that includes creating, by an audition server, an audition token associated with the live audition. The method includes saving a first record of the audition token and sending the audition token to a user device of a performer. The method includes receiving, by the audition server from the user device, the recording of the live audition associated with a received token. The method includes comparing a second record of the received token to the first record and verifying the recording of the live audition when the second record matches the first record. A system for verifying a recording of a live audition is provided. A live audition computer-implemented system is provided that includes an organizer database, a candidate database, and a recording and verification module to verify the recording as a unique trial.

A device configured to display a first video scene and a progress bar for a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) video and to receive a user input that indicates a time instance value on the progress bar. The device is further configured to identify a first source scene identifier for a second video scene and an animation identifier that is linked with the second video scene based on the time instance value. The device is further configured to identify HTML code that is associated with the first source scene identifier and the first animation identifier and to compile the identified HTML code to render the second video scene. The device is further configured to generate a scaled second video scene by reducing a size of the rendered second video scene to fit a preview frame and to display the scaled second video scene in the preview frame.

A content analysis system includes processor and memory hardware storing data analyzed content items and instructions for execution by the processor hardware. The instructions include, in response to a first intermediate content item being analyzed to generate a first text description, receiving the first intermediate content item and analyzing the first text description to generate a first reduced text description. The instructions include identifying a first set of tags by applying a tag model to the first text description and generating a first analyzed content item. The instructions include adding the first analyzed content item to the analyzed content database and, in response to a displayed content item being associated with at least one tag of the first set of tags, displaying a first user-selectable link corresponding to the first analyzed content item on a portion of a user interface of a user device displaying the displayed content item.

An identity of a customer within an establishment is authenticated using a variety of captured biometric features obtained from sensors and/or video. Video capturing movements/interactions of the customer is analyzed in real time to identify the customer's behavior and actions. Any staff of the establishment who interact with the customer are identified from the video. Transaction data and other data retained for the customer by the establishment are aggregated and linked with the video and the customer identity. The linked data is analyzed in combination with the customer behavior and actions to determine responses within the establishment to customer-initiated transactions. In an embodiment, the customer is authorized to perform at least one transaction within the establishment based on the authenticated identity and linked data without a presentation by the customer of an identification card, a Personal Identification Number (PIN), a password and/or verification by a staff member.

Systems, methods, apparatuses are described for monitoring events in a plurality of different services. A system may monitor manifest files for one or more content items. Manifest files may contain manifest file tags indicating events and insertion opportunities. Events and/or insertion opportunities may be detected, and a switch from one content item to another content item, based on customized user priority preferences, may be caused.
