User-directed navigation of multimedia search results
First Claim
1. A computerized method of generating search results for media content, comprising:
- obtaining metadata associated with a discrete media content that satisfies a search query, the metadata identifying content segments and corresponding timing information derived from the discrete media content using one or more automated media processing techniques; and
generating a search result that enables a user to arbitrarily select and commence playback of the discrete media content at any of the content segments using the corresponding timing information identified in the metadata.

Abstract
According to one aspect, a computerized method and apparatus for generating and presenting search snippets that enable user-directed navigation of the underlying audio/video content. The method involves obtaining metadata associated with discrete media content that satisfies a search query. The metadata identifies a number of content segments and corresponding timing information derived from the underlying media content using one or more automated media processing techniques. Using the timing information identified in the metadata, a search result or “snippet” can be generated that enables a user to arbitrarily select and commence playback of the underlying media content at any of the individual content segments.
