Abstract
A seek content extraction system analyzes frames of video content and identifies locations in the frames where session information is displayed. This session information refers to information that is displayed as part of video content and that describes, for a particular location in the video content, what is currently happening in the video content at that particular location. This session information is extracted from each of multiple frames, and for a given frame the extracted session information is associated with the frame. While the user is seeking forward or backward through the video content, a thumbnail of the frame at a given location in the video content is displayed along with the extracted session information associated with the frame.
