Abstract
A computer implemented method includes receiving, at a media server, a request from a first viewer to create a media content server including select segments of media content for display at a display device. The computer implemented method includes accessing a media content analyzer generated based on viewer annotation data associated with media content. The viewer annotation data is received from viewers other than the first viewer. The computer implemented method includes identifying segments of the media content using the media content analyzer. The computer implemented method includes selecting at least one segment of the identified segments of the media content for inclusion in a media content summary. The computer implemented method includes sending the media content summary including the at least one selected segment of the media content to the display device.

6. A tangible computer-readable storage medium comprising operational instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
receive from a user a user request to create a media content summary comprising select segments of media content, wherein the user request includes user specified criteria; identify segments of the media content using a media content analyzer, the media content analyzer generated based on viewer annotation data received from viewers other than the user; select at least one segment of the identified segments of the media content for inclusion in the media content summary based on the user specified criteria; and send the media content summary for presentation at a display device.

11. A system, comprising:
-
an input interface to receive a request from a user to generate a media content analyzer to identify segments of media content and to generate a media content summary based on the identified segments of media content; a generator module to generate the media content analyzer based on viewer annotation data that is received from viewers different than the user; a selection module to select at least one segment of the identified segments for inclusion in the media content summary based on user specified criteria; and an output interface to send the media content summary including the at least one selected segment to a display device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A computer implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving, at a media server, a request from a user to generate a media content analyzer; analyzing a first set of viewer annotations associated with media content to determine at least one viewer response metric associated with the media content, the first set of viewer annotations generated by viewers other than the user; accessing media content analysis information associated with the media content; generating the media content analyzer adapted to approximate the media content analysis information based on the at least one viewer response metric; and storing the media content analyzer in a memory. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
