Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for partitioning digital media content for consumption. A computer identifies a digital media content request which includes user subscription preferences and a list of free time slots from a user's electronic calendar. The computer identifies a first episode of digital media content, wherein the identified first episode matches subscription preferences, and has a first duration. The computer retrieves the identified first episode of digital media content from a data store. The computer determines if the first duration of the identified first episode is greater than the associated duration of each of the two or more free time slots. The computer partitions the identified first episode into a plurality of segments. The computer matches the first of the two or more free time slots in the user's electronic calendar to the first segment of the plurality of segments.
