US Patent 11334611 Content item summarization with contextual metadata

A computing system, including a processor configured to receive a content item. The processor may extract a plurality of content item features from the content item and receive a user request to summarize the content item. The user request may have associated contextual metadata indicating a spatiotemporal context in which the user request is received. Based on the contextual metadata, the processor may determine an estimated distraction level for the user. The processor may select a subset of the plurality of content item features based on the contextual metadata. The processor may generate a content item summary including the subset of the plurality of content item features based at least in part on the estimated distraction level. The processor may convey the content item summary for output on one or more output devices.
