Printable representations for time-based media
First Claim
1. A computer system for generating a representation of time-based media, the system comprising:
- a feature extraction module for;
extracting, using a feature extraction technique, features from the time-based media, the feature extraction technique specified by a document format specification file; and
generating a media representation of the time-based media that represents the extracted features, the media representation including a waveform representing the time based media including the extracted features, a corresponding timeline and a plurality of user-selectable identifiers indicating locations on the timeline corresponding to the extracted features;
a formatting module communicatively coupled to the feature extraction module, the formatting module for;
formatting the media representation according to layout parameters specified by the document format specification file; and
a printer communicatively coupled to the formatting module, the printer for;
printing the formatted media representation, wherein each of the plurality of user-selectable identifiers in the printed, formatted media representation can be selected to access a corresponding part of the time-based media.

Abstract
The system of the present invention allows a user to generate a representation of time-based media. The system of the present invention includes a feature extraction module for extracting features from media content. For example, the feature extraction module can detect solos in a musical performance, or can detect music, applause, speech, and the like. A formatting module formats a media representation generated by the system. The formatting module also applies feature extraction information to the representation, and formats the representation according to a representation specification. In addition, the system can include an augmented output device that generates a media representation based on the feature extraction information and the representation specification. The methods of the present invention include extracting features from media content, and formatting a media representation being generated using the extracted features and based on a specification or data structure specifying the representation format. The methods can also include generating a media representation based on the results of the formatting.
