The embodied invention is a multi-vault memorial facility with a memorial room and an interactive system for storing and providing memorial information of the deceased. The meeting room includes memorabilia and access to a secure personal biographical database which includes historical and personal information about the deceased. An interactive user interface for a visiting person is used when at the facility. The personal biography database security is provided by administration control for access and identifies who can modify the database. The interactive user interface utilizes visual and audio presentations, and a conversational user interface with a likeness and a digital memory of the deceased. A computer projection talks with a visitor and mimics responses of the deceased.

The present disclosure relates to application of artificial intelligence (AI) processing that adapts one or more video feeds relative to presentation content. Trained AI processing automatically generates a combined representation comprising one or more video feeds and presentation content. An exemplary combined representation is the result of contextual analysis by one or more trained AI models that are adapted to consider how to adapt presentation of a video feed relative to displayable presentation content (or visa-versa). A combined representation of one or more video feeds and presentation content is automatically generated (and subsequently rendered) based on a result of contextual evaluation of data associated with a video feed and data attributes of presentation content. A combined representation may comprise a modification of the one or more video feeds, objects of presentation content or a combination thereof. Further examples extend to management of combined representations through an adapted graphical user interface.

A method and system for identifying social trends are provided. The method includes collecting multimedia content from a plurality of data sources; gathering environmental variables related to the collected multimedia content; extracting visual elements from the collected multimedia content; generating at least one signature for each extracted visual element; generating at least one cluster of visual elements by clustering at least similar signatures generated for the extracted visual elements; correlating environmental variables related to visual elements in the at least one cluster; determining at least one social trend by associating the correlated environmental variables with the at least one cluster.

Playback and distribution systems and methods for multimedia files are provided. The multimedia files are encoded with flags associated with the content data of the multimedia files. Through the use of the flags, playback of the content is enhanced without significantly increasing the file size of the multimedia file.

A method and computer readable medium for exploring similar users and items of a media service includes generating a user interface. The user interface displays a user selectable indicia representing a similar member function for allowing a user to search a media service for at least one other user. The one other user has a degree of similarity with respect to the searching user. Another method includes facilitating the search of such a similar user within a media service.

A method of and apparatus for content assembly is provided by which an automation playlist of media events is created and published as a podcast. The publishing includes a podcast automation interface defining: a web syndication format, one or more RSS (Really Simple Syndication) channels for the publishing of the podcast, one or more RSS (Really Simple Syndication) variables for the publishing of the podcast, a podcast feed, wherein the podcast automation interface is used to create or update a local copy of one or more of: an RSS file or a web feed and distribute the podcast over a network.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for receiving, managing, and displaying annotations on documents in real-time. A user (e.g., an author of a document) uploads a document into a real-time annotation system, which may then generate a composite presentation based on the uploaded document. The composite presentation includes all the content of the document presented in a specially configured graphical user interface to receive and manage annotations from a plurality of user devices.

A method and computer readable medium for exploring similar users and items of a media service includes generating a user interface. The user interface displays a user selectable indicia representing a similar member function for allowing a user to search a media service for at least one other user. The one other user has a degree of similarity with respect to the searching user. Another method includes facilitating the search of such a similar user within a media service.

Disclosed embodiments provide an audio playing method, an apparatus, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method invokes a second application in response to an operation on an interface of a first application, and then uses the second application to play a target audio including an audio in a multimedia in the interface of the first application. The disclosed embodiment allows a user to directly listen to the target audio corresponding to the audio included in the multimedia information when browsing the multimedia information on the first application, thereby overcoming a technical problem where the user has to search for the target audio separately or cannot find the target audio due to lack of information about the target audio. By directly invoking the second application to play the target audio, the technical effect of skipping the searching step and improving the user experience is achieved.

The present disclosure relates to the field of multimedia technology, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for playing multimedia data, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method for playing multimedia data includes: acquiring, in response to a first trigger operation for first multimedia data currently being played as received via a first interface of a first platform, second multimedia data corresponding to the first multimedia data and playing the second multimedia data on the first platform. With the method for playing multimedia data according to the present disclosure, it is possible to shorten the length of the path from playing the first multimedia data to playing the second multimedia data, thereby improving the efficiency in playing the second multimedia data.
