Claim:
An electronic device comprising: at least one input component configured to receive video content; at least one output component communicatively coupled with at least one display device, wherein the at least one output component is configured to transmit the video content to the at least one display device; one or more processors; and memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to: review each frame of the received video content, determine an amount of time to be removed from the video content, calculate a number of frames to be removed that corresponds to the amount of time to be removed from the video content, identify instances of sequential frames providing similar content, determine whether at least one of the sequential frames may be removed from each identified instance of sequential frames providing similar content, remove at least one of the sequential frames from each identified instance of sequential frames providing similar content until the number of frames removed equals the number of frames calculated to be removed to produce modified video content not including the removed frames, and transmit the modified video content to the at least one display device.
