Abstract

Systems and methods for automatically identifying end credits in a media item are disclosed. An analysis component analyzes a media item and identifies a transition point in the media item where end credits begin and a presentation component presents a prompt, such as a survey, based on the transition point. In another aspect, a monitoring component monitors at least one of content or audio of the media item. According to this aspect, the analysis component analyzes the at least one of the content or the audio, identifies a pattern of the media item associated with the end credits, and identifies the transition point as a function of the pattern. In various aspects, the pattern is associated with a streaming of text, a music soundtrack, an absence of speech, an absence object movement, or an absence of an appearance of objects included in the body of the media item.

Claims (43)

1 . A system, comprising:

a memory having computer executable components stored thereon; and

a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to facilitate execution of the computer executable components, the computer executable components, comprising:

an analysis component configured to analyze a media item and identify a transition point in the media item where end credits begin; and

a presentation component configured to present a prompt based on the transition point.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the prompt includes a survey about the media item.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the prompt includes an advertisement.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the prompt includes a link to content associated with the media item.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the presentation component is configured to present the prompt after a predetermined amount of time following the identification of the transition point.

6 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a monitoring component configured to monitor at least one of content or audio of the media item, wherein the analysis component is configured to analyze the at least one of the content or the audio and identify a pattern of the media item associated with the end credits, and wherein the analysis component is configured to identify the transition point as a function of the pattern.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the pattern is associated with a streaming of text.

8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the pattern is associated with a music soundtrack.

9 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the pattern is associated with an absence of speech.

10 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the pattern is associated with an absence object movement.

11 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the pattern is associated with an absence of an appearance of objects included in the body of the media item.

12 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the pattern includes, for a predetermined duration of time, at least one of: a streaming of text, a music soundtrack, an absence of speech, an absence of object movement, or an absence of an appearance of objects included in the body of the media item.

13 . A method, comprising:

employing at least one processor executing computer executable instructions embodied on at least one non-transitory computer readable medium to to facilitate performing operations comprising:

analyzing a media item;

identifying a transition point in the media item where end credits begin based on the analyzing; and

presenting a prompt as a function of the identifying the transition point.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the presenting the prompt includes presenting a survey about the media item.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the wherein the presenting the prompt includes presenting an advertisement.

16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the wherein the presenting the prompt includes presenting a link to content associated with the media item.

17 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the wherein the presenting the prompt includes presenting the prompt after a predetermined amount of time following the identifying the transition point.

18 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

monitoring at least one of content or audio of the media item, wherein the analyzing the media item includes analyzing the at least one of the content or the audio and identifying a pattern of the media item associated with the end credits, and wherein the identifying the transition point includes identifying the transition point as a function of the pattern.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the pattern is associated with a streaming of text.

20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the pattern is associated with a music soundtrack.

21 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the pattern is associated with an absence of speech.

22 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the pattern is associated with an absence object movement.

23 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the pattern is associated with an absence of an appearance of objects included in the body of the media item.

24 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the pattern includes, for a predetermined duration of time, at least one of: a streaming of text, a music soundtrack, an absence of speech, an absence of object movement, or an absence of an appearance of objects included in the body of the media item.

25 . A computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a computing system to perform operations, comprising:

analyzing a media item;

identifying a transition point in the media item where end credits begin based on the analyzing; and

presenting a prompt as a function of the identifying the transition point.

26 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 25 , wherein the presenting the prompt includes presenting a survey about the media item.

27 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 25 , wherein the wherein the presenting the prompt includes presenting the prompt after a predetermined amount of time following the identifying the transition point.

28 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 25 , the operations further comprising:

monitoring at least one of content or audio of the media item, wherein the analyzing the media item includes analyzing the at least one of the content or the audio and identifying a pattern of the media item associated with the end credits, and wherein the identifying the transition point includes identifying the transition point as a function of the pattern.

29 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 28 , wherein the pattern includes, for a predetermined duration of time, at least one of: a streaming of text, a music soundtrack, an absence of speech, an absence of object movement, or an absence of an appearance of objects included in the body of the media item.
