Benefits of technology

The invention is a new type of internet server that can store compressed preview video files. These files are created by extracting a small amount of video from the original source file, giving users a quick visual summary of the video without needing to fully download it. The server uses special software to compress the video and store it in a way that is easy for users to access. This new technology is useful for allowing users to quickly and easily find and engage with video content.

Problems solved by technology

One of the drawbacks of video, and particularly web based video that is often stored in remote internet servers, and delivered to clients in the form of various web pages, is that the remote video content cannot be easily scanned by users the way text or photos can.
This method is both slow and cumbersome.
These short real-time speed excerpts thus do not give the user a representative view of the full contents of the video, nor do they give the user any degree of control over what portions of the preview video to look at.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]Drawing conventions: This invention is concerned with video playback methods, and to show video playback on black and white line art drawings, certain standard drawing conventions and abstractions must be used. Here, whenever the drawing shows a series of related images side by side to one another, with only small differences between the related images, these images should be understood to represent the various stages of the video playback of that particular file as a function of time. Thus earlier moments in time will be represented by images to the left, and later moments of time are represented by images on the right. The overall artistic convention is thus not unlike showing a series of frames from a motion picture film.

[0024]The invention: As previously discussed, in one embodiment, the invention may be an internet based client-server method of allowing a user to rapidly preview a plurality of video files. Generally, this method will comprise first obtaining a plurality o...

Abstract

An internet client-server method to rapidly preview video files. Source video files are compressed into lower resolution preview video files, thumbnail image files, and stored on a preview internet server. Typically only a small fraction of the source video frames, such as 1 frame in 60, is used for the preview. A user using a touch sensitive computerized device such as a smartphone can view the thumbnail video images while the compressed video files load in the background. When the user touches or swipes an image of interest, or shakes the device, device video preview application software detects the action and directs the device to start playing the preview video file(s). The application software detects when the user swipes the preview video, and changes the rate and direction of playback of the preview video file, and trickplay functionality, often according to the speed and / or direction of the swipe.
