Enhanced media content tagging systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a media content tagging system from a first media content access device, tag data representative of a first user-defined tag specifying a segment of media content recorded by the first media content access device to a local storage facility included in the first media content access device in response to a first user request that the media content be recorded;
optimizing, by the media content tagging system, the first user-defined tag, the optimizing of the first user-defined tag comprising;
aggregating the first user-defined tag with one or more other user-defined tags based on at least one attribute common to the first user-defined tag and the one or more other user-defined tags;
analyzing the aggregation of the first user-defined tag and the one or more other user-defined tags to determine at least one of a preferred start time and a preferred end time of the segment of media content; and
selecting, from the aggregation of the first user-defined tag and the one or more other user-defined tags and based on the analyzing of the aggregation of the first user-defined tag and the one or more other user-defined tags, the first user-defined tag for distribution as an optimized first user-defined tag;
receiving, by the media content tagging system from a second media content access device that recorded the media content to a local storage facility included in the second media content access device in response to a second user request that the media content be recorded, a request for a media content tag; and
transmitting, by the media content tagging system in response to the request for the media content tag, data representative of the optimized first user-defined tag to the second media content access device for use by the second media content access device to identify and present, from the media content recorded by the second media content access device to the local storage facility included in the second media content access device, a segment of the media content specified by the optimized first user-defined tag.

Abstract
Exemplary enhanced media content tagging systems and methods are described herein. An exemplary method includes a media content tagging system recording a live transmission of media content in response to a user request that the media content be recorded, receiving, from a media content access device, tag data representative of a user-defined tag specifying a segment of the media content, optimizing the user-defined tag, and distributing the optimized user-defined tag to another media content access device for use by the another media content access device to identify and present the segment of the media content. In certain embodiments, the optimization of the user-defined tag may be based on an analysis of aggregated user-defined tags, an analysis of the media content, or a combination thereof. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

12. A computing system comprising:
-
a first media content access device that records media content to a local storage facility included in the first media content access device in response to a request by a user of the first media content access device that the media content be recorded; a second media content access device that records the media content to a local storage facility included in the second media content access device in response to a request by a user of the second media content access device that the media content be recorded; a media content tagging subsystem comprising at least one computing device having a processor and communicatively coupled to the first media content access device and the second media content access device, the media content tagging subsystem configured to receive, from the first media content access device, tag data representative of a first user-defined tag specifying a segment of the media content; optimize the first user-defined tag by aggregating the first user-defined tag with one or more other user-defined tags based on at least one attribute common to the first user-defined tag and the one or more other user-defined tags; analyzing the aggregation of the first user-defined tag and the one or more other user-defined tags to determine at least one of a preferred start time and a preferred end time of the segment of media content; and selecting, from the aggregation of the first user-defined tag and the one or more other user-defined tags and based on the analyzing of the aggregation of the first user-defined tag and the one or more other user-defined tags, the first user-defined tag for distribution as an optimized first user-defined tag, receive, from the second media content access device, a request for a media content tag, and transmit, in response to the request for the media content tag, data representative of the optimized first user-defined tag to the second media content access device for use by the second media content access device to identify and present, from the media content recorded by the second media content access device to the local storage facility included in the second media content access device, a segment of the media content specified by the optimized first user-defined tag. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
