Various embodiments of the present application set forth a computer-implemented method comprising receiving, at an endpoint device, a user input associated with a first remote application running on a workstation instance associated with the user, determining, based on a context associated with the user input, a first asset associated with the user input, and causing the workstation instance to modify an asset file in a local file system of the workstation instance, wherein the asset file corresponds to at least a portion of the first asset.

Provided is a backup system including a storage system and a backup server, in which the backup server includes a ledger for managing a copy number and a backup acquisition date and time for each backup image, a data volume that stores data accessed by a business server, a backup image volume that stores a plurality of backup images at different time points of the data volume, an access volume having a volume ID for accessing the backup image from the backup server, and a data protection area including at least one volume having an internal volume ID instead of the volume ID for accessing from the backup server are configured in the storage system, and the backup image stored in the data protection area and the access volume are associated, and the backup image in the data protection area is provided to the backup server.

A method of generating a moving thumbnail is disclosed. The method includes sampling video frames of a video item. The method further includes determining frame-level quality scores for the sampled video frames. The method also includes determining multiple group-level quality scores for multiple groups of the sampled video frames using the frame-level quality scores of the sampled video frames. The method further includes selecting one of the groups of the sampled video frames based on the multiple group-level quality scores. The method includes creating a moving thumbnail using a subset of the video frames that have timestamps within a range from the start timestamp to the end timestamp.

A method and an apparatus for retrieving teleplay content is disclosed. The method includes: generating basic summary information corresponding to each teleplay based on basic information of entities of each teleplay; generating episode summary information corresponding to each episode of each teleplay based on episode data of each episode of each teleplay; establishing a teleplay graph database based on the basic summary information corresponding to each teleplay and the episode summary information corresponding to each episode; and feeding a playing portal for a target episode of a target teleplay corresponding to teleplay search information back to a user based on the teleplay graph database.

A system and method for capturing a plurality of videos and images with a camera of a mobile communication device, editing them and combining them in order to generate a video. The invention provides an application for capturing, editing and combining a plurality of videos and images of a real estate structure with the build-in camera of a mobile communication device and then generating a real estate video for a specific real estate listing.

One example method includes generating a searchable video library. Video files are processed to extract text corresponding to the speech and to the images. The extracted text is semantically searched such that specific portions or locations of video files can be identified and returned in response to a query.

Systems and methods are described herein for a media guidance application that can cause a specific portion of a media asset to be stored based on a user command. For example, if the user requests the closing scene from a given movie, the media guidance application may detect the command, determine that it comprises an instruction to store a portion of a media asset, identify a source of the portion of the media asset, and cause the portion of the media asset to be stored. The media guidance application may also cause the entirety of the media asset to be stored and initiate playback at the start of the requested portion. This may allow users to store and watch portions of particular interest without requiring that the users seek through the entire media asset on their own.

A receiver driven approach for playback of remote content is described. One embodiment includes obtaining information concerning the content of the media file from the remote server, identifying a starting location within the media sequence, identifying byte ranges of the media file corresponding to media required to play the media sequence from the starting location, requesting the byte ranges required to play the media sequence from the starting location, buffering received bytes of information pending commencement of playback, playing back the buffered bytes of information, receiving a user instruction, identifying byte ranges of the media file corresponding to media required to play the media sequence in accordance with the user instruction, flushing previous byte range requests, and requesting the byte ranges required to play the media in accordance with the user instruction.

A method, apparatus and storage medium for implementing a discrete frame-based scene section are disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining at least one first tag for mapping a discrete frame to a scene section; for any second tag in the at least one first tag, performing polling query on to-be-processed first discrete frames respectively to determine whether there is a second discrete frame matched with the second tag in the first discrete frames; if there is the second discrete frame, marking the second discrete frame with the second tag corresponding to a scene section; if the polling query corresponding to the second tag ends, storing start frame timestamp information and end frame timestamp information of the scene section.

A method at an electronic device with a display includes: displaying a user interface having a first region and a second region; receiving, and displaying in the first region of the user interface, a live video stream of a physical environment captured by a remote video camera; displaying, in the second region, a timeline corresponding to a timespan for a first portion of a duration during which the live video stream may have been recorded; in response to receiving a user interaction to move the timespan to a second portion of the duration, transitioning the displayed timeline to a new timeline that corresponds to the timespan for the second portion, and while transitioning, displaying, in the first region, a subset of video frames representing the first and/or second portion of the duration.
