1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a media server, a request to create a media content summary, wherein the request includes a first user-specified criterion and a second user-specified criterion;
identifying segments of media content based on annotation data and the first user-specified criterion, wherein the annotation data includes annotations associated with a first segment of the segments and a second segment of the segments;
selecting particular segments of the segments of media content based on a number of annotations associated with each of the segments, the particular segments including the first segment and the second segment;
generating the media content summary by automatically changing a first size of the first segment and a second size of the second segment such that a total size of the media content summary satisfies the second user-specified criterion, wherein the media content summary includes the particular segments; and
transmitting the media content summary to a media device from the media server, wherein a total size of the media content summary is less than a total size of the media content.

Abstract
A method includes receiving, at a media server, a request to create a media content summary. The request includes a user-specified criterion. The method includes identifying segments of media content based on annotation data. The annotation data includes annotations associated with a first segment of the segments and a second segment of the segments. The first segment is identified based on a number of corresponding annotations. The method further includes generating the media content summary by automatically changing a first size of the first segment and a second size of the second segment such that a total size of the media content summary satisfies the user-specified criterion.

11. A computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a request to create a media content summary, wherein the request includes a first user-specified criterion and a second user-specified criterion; identifying segments of media content based on annotation data and the first user-specified criterion, wherein the annotation data includes annotations associated with a first segment of the segments and a second segment of the segments; selecting particular segments of the segments of media content based on a number of annotations associated with each of the segments, the particular segments including the first segment and the second segment; generating the media content summary by automatically changing a first size of the first segment and a second size of the second segment such that a total size of the media content summary satisfies the second user-specified criterion, wherein the media content summary includes the particular segments; and initiating transmission of the media content summary to a media device, wherein a total size of the media content summary is less than a total size of the media content. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; an input interface executable by the processor to receive a request to generate a media content summary, wherein the request includes a first user-specified criterion and a second user-specified criterion; and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to perform operations including; identifying segments of media content based on annotation data and the first user-specified criterion, wherein the annotation data includes annotations associated with a first segment of the segments and a second segment of the segments; selecting particular segments of the segments of media content based on a number of annotations associated with each of the segments, the particular segments including the first segment and the second segment; generating the media content summary by automatically changing a first size of the first segment and a second size of the second segment such that a total size of the media content summary satisfies the second user-specified criterion, wherein the media content summary includes the particular segments; and initiating transmission of the media content summary to a media device, wherein a total size of the media content summary is less than a total size of the media content. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
