In additional aspects, a method of delivering an interactive presentation includes accessing the sequence of two or more primary content items, delivering the primary content items to a presentation device, and delivering, to applications operating on mobile devices of audience members, the primary content items with the additional content and/or one or more links thereto. In further aspects, a method of interacting with an interactive presentation includes receiving, by a mobile device of an audience member, a sequence of primary content items with additional content and/or one or more links thereto, and displaying the received primary content items and the additional content.

Systems and methods for delivering exercise content to a user of an exercise apparatus include a database storing exercise content, data associated with a content provider and data associated with an application provider, and a platform server operable to facilitate delivery of the exercise content to the exercise apparatus. The platform server delivers for display on the exercise apparatus archived exercise classes for selection by the user, receives from the exercise apparatus a selection, transmits data representing content of the selected archived exercise class, receives performance data from the exercise apparatus based on activity by the user, and generates archived performance data representing archived user performance parameters for a plurality of other users over at least the portion of the selected archived exercise class. Data is synchronized and updated for display by the exercise apparatus to simulate the user competing with at least some of the other users.

A system and method for frame accurate editing of high resolution live video streams is disclosed. A method includes providing a low resolution video stream displayed in a first viewing portion of an edit user interface, wherein the low resolution video stream corresponds to a high resolution video stream of the live video content, receiving, via the viewing portion of the user interface, user input identifying a first start point and a first end point within the low resolution video stream, and transmitting the first start point and the first end point to a server to obtain a respective intermediate video segment of an intermediate resolution video stream corresponding to the high resolution video stream. The method further includes presenting the respective intermediate video segment in a second viewing portion of the edit user interface, the second viewing portion comprising a frame identifying section to identify frames corresponding to the first start point and the first end point, receiving user input identifying a second start point and a second end point from within the intermediate resolution video stream, and transmitting the second start point and the second end point to the server to obtain a respective high resolution video segment from the high resolution video stream for presentation to the user.

The disclosure provides for methods and systems, including computer-readable storage media encoded with a computer program, for generating a composite content presentation from a primary presentation and multiple sub-presentations. The sub-presentations and the primary presentation can be presented seamlessly in the composite presentation with a common appearance through at least some common display elements, such as a navigation bar, appearing across each presentation. Some display elements, such as the navigation bar, may be controlled by the author of the composite presentation, while other display elements unique to each sub-presentation may be controlled by the author of the sub-presentation.

Systems and methods are directed to auto-adjusting play time of slides based on content intelligence. The system accesses media comprising a plurality of media items, wherein a media item of the plurality of media items comprises a first content type. The system performs machine analysis associated with the first content type. Based on the machine analysis, the system determines a first display time for the first content type and derives a total display time for the media item based on the first display time. If the media item includes a second content type, then the system performs machine analysis associated with the second content type and determines a second display time for the second content type. The total display time now comprises an aggregation of the first and second display times. The system can cause a machine action based on the total display time.

There is provided a method for searching a plurality of information sources using a multimedia element, the method may include receiving at least one multimedia element; generating, by a signature generator, for the at least one multimedia element at least one signature that is unidirectional, and yields compression; generating at least one textual search query using the at least one signature; wherein the generating of the textual search query comprises: (a) searching for at least one matching stored signature that matches one or more of the at least one signature; and (b) using a mapping between stored signatures and textual search queries, selecting at least one textual search query mapped to at least one matching stored signature; searching the plurality of information sources using the at least one textual search query; and causing a display of search results retrieved from the plurality of information sources.

Techniques are described that provide a gallery of media files via a messaging application. The messaging application may include one or more messaging threads between a user and one or more other users. The user may share a media file with another user via a message associated with a message thread. The media files may include photographs, videos, links, screenshots, documents, graphic interchange format (GIF) images, and other media content shared between a user and one or more other users. A communication platform may determine that the message includes a media file and may associate the media file with media galleries associated with the user and the other user. The media galleries may enable both users to easily access shared media content and to quickly identify a particular media files of interest.

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a display, a processor and memory. The processor may implement the method, including analyzing, by a processor, a first video to identify any characters included in the first video, displaying one or more icons representing one or more characters identified in the first video via a display, receiving, by input circuitry, a first user input selecting a first icon representing a first character from among the one or more icons, based on the first user input, selecting image frames of the first video that include the first character from among image frames included in the first video, and generating, by the processor, a second video including the selected image frames. A second embodiment includes automatically selecting images from a gallery including one or more characters for generation of a video.

Systems and methods for providing summarization, indexing, and post-processing of a recorded document presentation are provided. The system accesses a structured document and recordings associated with a recorded presentation given using the structured document. The system analyzes, using machine-trained models, the structured document, audio and video recordings, and recording of operations performed during the presentation. The analyzing comprises generating a transcript of the audio recording, determining context of components of the structured document, and deriving context from the video recordings and recording of operations. Based on the analyzing, the system segments the recorded presentation into a plurality of segments and generates an index of the plurality of segments that is used for post-processing.
