Management and non-linear presentation of music-related broadcasted or streamed multimedia content
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for presenting previously recorded linear sequences of streamed or broadcasted multimedia music-related content in a non-linear manner, comprising:
- segmenting the previously recorded sequences of music-related content into a plurality of music segments, each associated with at least one of a plurality of meta data items;
presenting an interface for selecting a segment of music-related content from the previously recorded linear sequences of music-related content;
upon receiving an indication of a selected segment of music-related content, determining at least one meta-data item that corresponds to the selected segment of music-related content;
based upon the determined at least one meta-data item, retrieving via direct access, from the previously recorded linear sequences of music-related content, the selected segment of music-related content; and
presenting the retrieved segment of music-related content on a display screen.

Abstract
Methods and systems for presenting enhanced previously recorded broadcasted or streamed content are provided. Example embodiments provide an Enhanced Content Display System “ECDS,” which supports the management and presentation of previously recorded program content in a non-linear fashion and allows subscribers, using a variety of techniques, to specify which portions of programs or other content is of interest. In one embodiment, an ECDS-enabled Music Browser application includes an Intelligent Media Data Server (“IMDS”) that generates enhanced meta-data that are associated with portions of the broadcasted or streamed news-related content. Using the generated enhanced meta-data and auxiliary recorded content, the Music Browser presents music-related content along with related content segments that enrich the viewer experience. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

17. A computing system configured to present linear sequences of streamed or broadcasted multimedia music-related content in a non-linear manner, comprising:
-
a display;
a video recording device configured to receive and store the linear sequences of music-related content and to individually access a plurality of segments of the music-related content, each segment associated with at least one of a plurality of meta data items; and
a music browser configured to receive an indication of a music segment, determine a meta-data item associated with the indicated music segment, determine at least one segment of the stored music-related content that has an associated meta data item that corresponds to the determined meta-data item, retrieve from the video recording device the determined at least one segment of music-related content, and present on the display the retrieved at least one segment of music-related content. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
