Intellimark customizations for media content streaming and sharing
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- providing a display window on an electronic image display, the display window displays each displayed portion of media content of a media file;
providing, during the display of the displayed portion of the media content of the media file, digitized data representing a value of information associated with a currently displayed portion of the media content of the media file via a non-transitory computer software executed by a processor;
inserting, via the non-transitory computer software executed by the processor, at least one interval index in response to receiving at least one selection of at least one point on a video slider bar for the currently displayed portion and any subsequently displayed portions, each inserted interval index having a time duration included that is a separate date/time-stamp file index to affect subsequent playback of the media content in the media file to customize the presentation of the media content during the time duration associated with each inserted interval index;
providing, via the non-transitory computer software executed by the processor, a context menu associated with the display window after each inserted interval index of the at least one inserted interval index, wherein the context menu provides user selectable commands to selectively insert a selected corresponding command for a corresponding one inserted interval index;
storing, by the non-transitory computer software executed by the processor, the at least one inserted interval index and the inserted selected corresponding command for each corresponding one inserted interval index in a separate index file different from the media file; and
executing the separate index file to cause, based on the at least one inserted interval index, the customized presentation of only those portions of the media content in the media file based on the inserted corresponding command of the corresponding one interval index of each corresponding displayed portion associated with the at least one inserted interval index without illegally altering or copying the media file when the media file is played back.

Abstract
Improved automated methods of dynamically customizing displayed presentation of media content playback and/or live streams allow users to add, remove, change, and/or fuse displayed information of media content. Specifically, a user or users is able to add, remove, or move IntelliMark (Intelligent Bookmarks) that are separate parallel temporal bookmarks with associated dynamic run-time display manipulations within a separate file(s) that are neither part of the media content nor a live stream, and are stored within media players, enabling customized viewings without violating copyrights or terms of use for the underlying unaltered, un-copied original media content. In addition to an individual user customizing his own viewing experience, by sharing his IntelliMark file(s) with others that have access to the same media content, these others can experience the customized playback as constructed by other users. Further, users can evolve their own interpretations to share back to the original user and/or others.
