Abstract

In accordance with some embodiments, a method for generating sentimental information associated with media content is provided, the method comprising: receiving user input data corresponding to a user; identifying a portion of the media content item based on the user input data; determining a sentiment based on the user input data, wherein the sentiment is one of a positive sentiment which indicates that the media content item was liked by the user or a negative sentiment which indicates that the media content item was disliked by the user; determining an amount of the sentiment based on the user input data; associating the amount of the sentiment with the portion of the media content item; and generating, for the media content item, sentimental information that indicates the amount of the sentiment associated with at least one portion of the media content item.

Claims (26)

1. A method for generating sentimental information associated with media content, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first user device, a first user input that corresponds to a first sentiment input region selected at a first time point and receiving, from a second user device, a second user input that corresponds to a second sentiment input region selected at a second time point, wherein the first time point is within a period of time during which a first user interface is presenting a media content item on the first user device and wherein the second time point is within the period of time during which the first user interface is presenting the media content item on the second user device; and

causing a second user interface to be presented on a third user device, wherein the second user interface concurrently presents sentiment input regions that are each associated with a different sentiment for the presented media content item in a sentiment portion of the second user interface and a timeline representation of the media content item including sentimental information that at least indicates the first user input from the first user device at the first time point of the media content item and the second user input from the second user device at the second time point of the media content item.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timeline representation of the media content item that includes sentimental information indicates an average amount of sentiment indicated by a plurality of user devices, wherein the plurality of user devices includes the first user device and the second user device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first sentiment input region corresponds to a positive sentiment.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second sentiment input region corresponds to a negative sentiment.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timeline representation is presented in connection with at least one selectable icon, and wherein information associated with a time point of the media content item corresponding to the at least one selectable icon is presented on the third user device in response to determining that the at least one selectable icon has been selected.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein selection of a portion of the timeline representation causes playback of the media content item to skip to a portion of the media content item corresponding to the selected portion of the timeline representation.

7. A system for generating sentimental information associated with media content, the system comprising:

a memory; and

a hardware processor coupled to the memory that is configured to:

receive, from a first user device, a first user input that corresponds to a first sentiment input region selected at a first time point and receive, from a second user device, a second user input that corresponds to a second sentiment input region selected at a second time point, wherein the first time point is within a period of time during which a first user interface is presenting a media content item on the first user device and wherein the second time point is within the period of time during which the first user interface is presenting the media content item on the second user device; and

cause a second user interface to be presented on a third user device, wherein the second user interface concurrently presents sentiment input regions that are each associated with a different sentiment for the presented media content item in a sentiment portion of the second user interface and a timeline representation of the media content item including sentimental information that at least indicates the first user input from the first user device at the first time point of the media content item and the second user input from the second user device at the second time point of the media content item.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the timeline representation of the media content item that includes sentimental information indicates an average amount of sentiment indicated by a plurality of user devices, wherein the plurality of user devices includes the first user device and the second user device.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the first sentiment input region corresponds to a positive sentiment.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the second sentiment input region corresponds to a negative sentiment.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the timeline representation is presented in connection with at least one selectable icon, and wherein information associated with a time point of the media content item corresponding to the at least one selectable icon is presented on the third user device in response to determining that the at least one selectable icon has been selected.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein selection of a portion of the timeline representation causes playback of the media content item to skip to a portion of the media content item corresponding to the selected portion of the timeline representation.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for generating sentimental information associated with media content, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first user device, a first user input that corresponds to a first sentiment input region selected at a first time point and receiving, from a second user device, a second user input that corresponds to a second sentiment input region selected at a second time point, wherein the first time point is within a period of time during which a first user interface is presenting a media content item on the first user device and wherein the second time point is within the period of time during which the first user interface is presenting the media content item on the second user device; and

causing a second user interface to be presented on a third user device, wherein the second user interface concurrently presents sentiment input regions that are each associated with a different sentiment for the presented media content item in a sentiment portion of the second user interface and a timeline representation of the media content item including sentimental information that at least indicates the first user input from the first user device at the first time point of the media content item and the second user input from the second user device at the second time point of the media content item.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the timeline representation of the media content item that includes sentimental information indicates an average amount of sentiment indicated by a plurality of user devices, wherein the plurality of user devices includes the first user device and the second user device.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the first sentiment input region corresponds to a positive sentiment.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the second sentiment input region corresponds to a negative sentiment.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the timeline representation is presented in connection with at least one selectable icon, and wherein information associated with a time point of the media content item corresponding to the at least one selectable icon is presented on the third user device in response to determining that the at least one selectable icon has been selected.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein selection of a portion of the timeline representation causes playback of the media content item to skip to a portion of the media content item corresponding to the selected portion of the timeline representation.
