Systems and methods for updating media asset data based on pause point in the media asset
First Claim
1. A method for associating data with a media asset, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a remote server, a plurality of messages from a plurality of users, wherein each message identifies a play position within the media asset at which the respective one of the users paused the media asset;
selecting a reference play position based on the play position identified by one of the plurality of messages;
computing a number representing how many of the messages identify a play position that corresponds to the reference play position;
in response to determining that the number exceeds a threshold, selecting a frame of the media asset that corresponds to the reference play position; and
updating data associated with the media asset based on the selected frame.

Abstract
Systems and methods for associating data with a media asset are provided. A plurality of messages from a plurality of users is received at a remote server. Each message identifies a play position within the media asset at which the respective one of the users paused the media asset. A reference play position is selected based on the play position identified by one of the plurality of messages. A number representing how many of the messages identify a play position that corresponds to the reference play position is computed. In response to determining that the number exceeds a threshold, a frame of the media asset that corresponds to the reference play position is selected. Data associated with the media asset is updated based on the selected frame.

11. A system for associating data with a media asset, the system comprising:
-
communications circuitry at a remote server configured to receive a plurality of messages from a plurality of users, wherein each message identifies a play position within the media asset at which the respective one of the users paused the media asset; control circuitry configured to; select a reference play position based on the play position identified by one of the plurality of messages; compute a number representing how many of the messages identify a play position that corresponds to the reference play position; in response to determining that the number exceeds a threshold, select a frame of the media asset that corresponds to the reference play position; and update data associated with the media asset based on the selected frame. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
