Abstract
The present invention includes a computer user interface system and a method for displaying short segments of video each representing a single theme or event (called video cliplets or “cliplets”). The computer user interface displays the cliplets and information and properties of each of the cliplets. Through the computer user interface of the invention, a user can quickly and easily determine the contents and interesting portions of the video. The cliplet user interface method includes displaying a plurality of cliplets in a two-dimensional arrangement along with cliplet information. The cliplet user interface system includes a plurality of keyframe windows for displaying cliplets and a keyframe within each keyframe window representing a cliplet therein. Moreover, the cliplet user interface system includes a cliplet property presentation area for displaying a cliplet interest rating. The cliplet interest rating indicates the amount of interesting content within the cliplet for a particular cliplet property.
