TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention generally relates to the field of video processing, and more particularly, to a method and system for playing recap video to a user based on user selected content.
BACKGROUND
The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art.
In recent years, the trend of storing and viewing videos online has increased. However, the problem of viewing a full video again and again for a selected portion that a viewer feels important, makes the viewer irritated. In order to see the selected portion of the video, either the viewer has to remember the time of the selected portion of the video or the viewer has to remember at which buffering point, the selected portion of the video plays. Due to these challenges, the viewer has to view the full video again for viewing the desired or the selected portion of the video.
For instance, in case of students who study online videos or material available to them in video graphic representation, the students have to watch the full video repeatedly for viewing the desired or the selected portion of the video. The students have to manually note time of a portion of the video that they feel is important. It becomes cumbersome for students to note down time of the selected portion of the video every time they watch the videos, and many-a-times, these manual notes may get lost by the students which cause them inconvenience.

In conventional video processing or viewing systems, there is no facility available where a student can select some important portion of the video and may watch it later on exam time just to recall the full video. Conventionally, the viewers have to view the full video just for some of the important/selected topics of the video, which is not feasible for a viewer to watch it every time. Further, the viewers have to note down the important topics which they feel important on a paper or have to carry notebook and pen to note down important topics.
Therefore, there is a need for a system and method which can alleviate problems existing in the prior art.

The system generated recap video includes a short video generated automatically by the processing unit [106] using all the relevant content of the video selected by the user through liking or noting. The system generated recap video can also be termed as auto recap video. The recap video based on the user specific liking/noting portions includes a request to watch the one or more specific portion of the video as per the user input (one or more liking or noting portions). In one embodiment of the present invention, the system generated recap video may be generated based on the liking or noting of the video by other similar users who have watched the same video in past.
FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary method flow diagram [200] depicting a method for playing a recap video to a user, in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The method begins when the user watches a video on the screen of the display unit. More particularly, the user watches the video to learn something such as any term, topic, technology, subject.
At step 202, the method includes a first step of displaying video to the user on a video display unit. The video is displayed to the user as per the user request/interest. In an example, the user wants to learn any technology and therefore perform request on a learning platform to watch video related to the particular technology. In another example, the user has joined an online course on e-learning platform to learn blockchain technology. Thus, the user may watch videos related to the blockchain technology on e-learning platform. The videos display to the user may be in the form lectures, animated videos and the like.
At step 204, the method includes another step of allowing the user to perform at least one of noting, liking one or more specific points or portions of the video for the selection of relevant contents in the video. The noting corresponds to creation of note points or notes at anytime in the video for the purpose of

retaining or selecting important aspect of the video. The liking corresponds to like or select important portions of the video. Thus, the noting and liking facilitate the user to select relevant content of the video by which the user can easily recall the video in the future without watching the full video again and again. The user may perform noting, liking of the one or more specific points or portion of the video via an input device such as mouse, touchpad.
At step 206, the method includes yet another step of analysing the selected contents in the video for generating a recap video. The contents selected by the user is analysed using analytics techniques or algorithms. The analytics algorithms/techniques are applied to analyse the one or more selected portions of the video, corresponding time of the portions in the video, number of portions selected by the user and the like. Further, the analytics algorithms/techniques are used on the selected portions to generate the recap video for the user.
At step 208, the method includes yet another step of playing the recap video to the user based on the user request. The user request for the recap video correspond to at least one of requesting system generated recap video, requesting recap video as per the user liked portions, requesting recap video as per the user noting points, requesting recap video to the user automatically after a fixed period of time. Based on the user request, the recap video is played to the user on the screen of the display unit. Once, the recap video is displayed to the user as per the user request, the exemplary method 200 terminates.
FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary layout of the display device, in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention. With reference to FIG. 3, the top rectangular portion of the layout includes a video display part to display video to the user. The bottom rectangular portion which is smaller than the top rectangular portion display various options such as a “note box”, “view video as per noting”, “view recap” and a “like (thumbs up) icon”. The note box is a box provided to the user to write notes at any time with the video play. The user may

write multiple notes in the note box like note 1, note 2, note 3, note 4 (as shown below the note box in Fig. 3). In an example, the user may write formula, algorithms, definition and the like in the note box at any instant of time while watching the video. The bottom rectangular portion display the option “view video as per Noting” (as shown in Fig. 3). View video as per noting option refers to viewing video or playing video with reference to the noted points/noting. As it is shown in Fig. 3 (below the “view video as per noting” option), the video start to play at the time user click on the note point. In an example, the user has mentioned a “note 1” at time 3 (minute or second), then the video will start to play onward from the time 3 (minute or second) whenever the user clicks on “note 1”. The bottom portion of the layout includes the option “view Recap”. The view recap option present in the layout allows the user to view recap of the video. The recap of the video can be at least one of system generated recap (Auto Recap) or user input (liking/noting) based recap (recap with notes/likes). The bottom portion of the layout includes the like (thumbs up) icon (as shown in Fig. 3). The like button/icon allows the user to like any portion of the video at particular time. As shown in Fig. 3 (below the like icon), the user has liked the portion by liking the beginning and endpoint of the relevant content of the video on the timeline bar of the video.
Thus, as per Figure 3, the present invention facilitates at least the following:
(1) Recap of video - If a viewer wants to see recap or summary of a video, the viewer may view video summary with important portions generated by the system of the present invention.
(2) Like video portion at any time - At any time duration within the video, the viewer is provided an option to like any of the portion of the video.
(3) Recap of like portion of a video – The viewer may view summary of the selected portions which enables the viewers to make a strong concept of topic in viewer’s mind, and this is an easy way to remember hard topics.

For instance, if the viewer clicks on a like button at any meantime of the video, the system of the present invention may measure or remark a picture and voice intensity at that particular instant of the video. Further, until the voice intensity in the video remains same, the system of the present invention may take this whole portion starting from the remarked picture in recap with like portion of the video. Therefore, the system of the present invention helps in making strong concept of video in the viewer’s mind.
(4) Note box – While the video is playing, the system of the present invention allows the user to use note box which is used to make a note at any time of video with regards to a particular video portion. The viewers have not to sit with book or pen or any type of notebook to note down the important points of the video.
(5) View Video as per noting points – In the present invention, when viewer click on any note, video starts to play with that portion, where viewer noted that particular note.
This system and method of the present invention may be used by students for study purpose and for remembering tough topics by noting important notes. Further, the system and the method of the present invention may be used by the students to view video of their prepared notes at that particular portion of the video. The system and method of the present invention may be utilized by teachers, academicians, professors for uploading their lectures and may help in contributing their knowledge to students and to those who seek their particular help in understanding the topic.
