Samsung patents AI summaries for paused TV shows based on your viewing habits

Samsung describes a system that tracks how you watch a show, such as when you pause or which parts you interact with. If you stop watching for a while, it uses AI to create a short summary of what you have seen so far. When you return, the system decides if and how to show you this recap based on your specific viewing behavior.

Why it mattersThis could make catching up on long series easier by automatically generating personalized recaps that match how you actually watch, rather than just a generic plot summary.

In the filing’s own words

To provide customized content summarization based on a content consumption status and a user status, during consumption of content by a user, user content consumption attributes including one or more of stage changes, device status, content key points, and user interactions with the content are identified for an aggregate consumed portion of the content. When the user pauses the consumption of the content for a time period exceeding a threshold, generative artificial intelligence prompts for summarization of the aggregate consumed portion of the content are determined based on the user content consumption attributes, Upon user return to the consumption of the content, whether to present the summarization to the user is determined, as well as format, length and level of detail of the summarization.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method of providing a personalized content summarization based on a content consumption status and a user status, the method comprising: during consumption of content by a user, identifying, for an aggregate portion of the content consumed by the user, user content consumption attributes including stage changes in consumption of the aggregated portion of the content consumed by the user, suitability of device status for a form of the personalized content summarization, content key points relating to characters, plot, and genre for the aggregate portion of the content consumed by the user, user interactions with the content during consumption, user preferences for the form of the personalized content summarization, and user content consumption behavior during the consumption of the aggregate portion of the content consumed by the user; when the user pauses the consumption of the content for a time period exceeding a threshold: applying prioritization to the user content consumption attributes according to priority levels for timing categories of the user content consumption attributes, wherein timing category priority levels for the content key points and the user interactions are each higher than a timing category priority level for the device status; applying prioritization to the user content consumption attributes according to priority levels for type categories of the user content consumption attributes, wherein type category priority levels for the content key points and the user interactions are each higher than a type category priority level for the device status; and based on the prioritization applied to the user content consumption attributes according to the priority levels for the timing categories and the prioritization applied to the user content consumption attributes according to the priority levels for the type categories, determining at least one generative artificial intelligence prompt for prediction, by a generative artificial intelligence model, of the personalized content summarization of the aggregate portion of the content consumed by the user; and upon user return to the consumption of the content, determining whether to present the personalized content summarization to the user.
