Abstract

Methods, systems, and products index digital scenes in digital media. A uniform resource locator is assigned to each different digital scene within the digital media. The uniform resource locator uniquely identifies a resource from which each different digital scene may be retrieved. Individual scenes may thus be retrieved, thus conserving bandwidth and memory.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving, by a server, a request from a client device requesting a digital media;   retrieving, by the server, a scene index associated with the digital media, the scene index associating promotional objects to scenes within the digital media;   generating, by the server, a menu of contents associated with the digital media, the menu of contents incorporating the scene index associated with the digital media; and   sending, by the server, the menu of contents to the client device, the menu of contents having the scene index incorporated therein.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising associating a uniform resource locator to the scene index. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising associating the digital media to the scene index in a database of content. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising associating a uniform resource locator to each scene in the digital media. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving a title associated with the digital media. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising associating the title to the scene index. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising querying an electronic database for the title associated with the digital media, the electronic database electronically associating the scene index to the title. 
     
     
         8 . A system, comprising:
 a hardware processor; and   a memory device, the memory device storing instructions, the instructions when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:   receiving a request from a client device requesting a digital media;   retrieving a scene index associated with the digital media, the scene index associating promotional objects to scenes within the digital media;   generating a menu of contents associated with the digital media, the menu of contents incorporating the scene index associated with the digital media; and   sending the menu of contents to the client device, the menu of contents having the scene index incorporated therein.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise associating a uniform resource locator to the scene index. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise associating the digital media to the scene index in a database of content. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise associating a uniform resource locator to each scene in the digital media. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a title associated with the digital media. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise associating the title to the scene index. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise querying an electronic database for the title associated with the digital media, the electronic database electronically associating the scene index to the title. 
     
     
         15 . A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
 receiving a request from a client device requesting a digital media;   retrieving a scene index associated with the digital media, the scene index associating promotional objects to scenes within the digital media;   generating a menu of contents associated with the digital media, the menu of contents incorporating the scene index associated with the digital media; and   sending the menu of contents to the client device, the menu of contents having the scene index incorporated therein.   
     
     
         16 . The memory device of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise associating a uniform resource locator to the scene index. 
     
     
         17 . The memory device of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise associating the digital media to the scene index in a database of content. 
     
     
         18 . The memory device of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise associating a uniform resource locator to each scene in the digital media. 
     
     
         19 . The memory device of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a title associated with the digital media. 
     
     
         20 . The memory device of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise associating the title to the scene index.
