Systems and methods for presenting a content summary of a media item to a user based on a position within the media item
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- at an electronic device comprising a processor and memory;
receiving an input to close a media item residing on the electronic device;
in response to receiving the input to close the media item;
identifying a current user position within the media item;
storing the current user position;
receiving an input to access the media item;
determining an elapsed period of time between receiving the input to close the media item and receiving the input to access the media item;
generating a content summary for a portion of the media item associated with the current user position based on the determined elapsed period of time by;
retrieving a pre-generated summarization of the media item; and
identifying a portion of the pre-generated summarization that corresponds to the current user position; and
presenting the identified portion of the pre-generated summarization to a user of the electronic device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for presenting a content summary of a media item to a user based on a position within the media item are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a method may include receiving identification of a position within a media item residing on an electronic device. For example, the identified position may be a bookmarked position within an e-book residing on an e-book reader. The method may also include generating a content summary for a portion of the media item based on the identified position. For example, an electronic device may dynamically generate a content summary based on content of the e-book that precedes a bookmarked position. The method may also include presenting the content summary to a user of the electronic device. For example, a display of an electronic device may be controlled to present a content summary to a reader of an e-book.
