Automatic Segmentation of Video
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, text of a content item, the text including a plurality of term strings, each term string including one or more terms;
determining a set of relevance intervals for a corresponding set of terms in the text, the relevance intervals each identifying one or more sections of the content item that are relevant to a corresponding term; and
for a first term string of the plurality of term strings, determining a first set of nodes based on the set of relevance intervals, andusing the nodes to identify one or more segment boundaries within the content item.

Abstract
Content items may be segmented and labeled by topic to provide for the capture, analysis, indexing, retrieval and/or distribution of information within information rich media, such as audio or video, with greater functionality, accuracy and speed. The segments and other related information may be stored in a database and made accessible to users through, for example, a search service and/or an on-demand service. Automatic segmentation may include receiving a text representation, calculating relevance intervals based on the text representation, determining a nodal representation based on the relevance intervals, and determining segments of the content item based on the nodal representation.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and memory operatively coupled to the processor and storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to; receive, at a computing device, text of a content item, the text including a plurality of term strings, each term string including one or more terms; determine a set of relevance intervals for a corresponding set of terms in the text, of the relevance intervals identifying one or more sections of a content item that are relevant to a corresponding term; for a first term string of the plurality of term strings, determine a first set of nodes based on the set of relevance intervals; and use the nodes to identify one or more segment boundaries within the content item. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. One or more computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to:
-
receive, at a computing device, text of a content item, the text including a plurality of term strings, each term string including one or more terms; determine a set of relevance intervals for a corresponding set of terms in the text, of the relevance intervals identifying one or more sections of a content item that are relevant to a corresponding term; for a first term string of the plurality of term strings, determine a first set of nodes based on the set of relevance intervals; and use the nodes to identify one or more segment boundaries within the content item.
