Patent ID: 11042588

Abstract:
Mechanisms are described for enhancing a user's photo browsing experience by presenting one or more video clips associated with an area of the photo that the user is viewing. For example, a pre-recorded still image may be presented on a display, and the still image may be associated with a pre-recorded video. One or more video clips of interest may be defined from the pre-recorded video and associated with a viewable area of the pre-recorded still image, e.g., a zoomed-in portion of the pre-recorded video. Receipt of a user input via the zoomed-in portion may cause presentation of a video clip of interest that is associated with the zoomed-in portion. The video clip of interest may, for example be a portion of the pre-recorded video in which an evens occurs, such as a gesture or a laugh or a smile of one of the participants in the scene being captured.
