Web-accessible video sites -such as YouTube -currently comprise several of the most trafficked sites in the world. Mobile smartphone penetration is also at an all-time high, as is userappetite for innovative mobile services. This paper anticipates the desire for video content understanding on mobile smartphones by on-the-go users. The implemented tool provides an innovative, compact, visual way for users to use their smartphone to understand the content of a video of interest before download, and the approach goes beyond the prevalent VCR-like controls and static keyframes of today. With a large e-commerce ecosystem evolving around mobile video, this work is extremely topical. We present our early design and implementation details and show how to support deeper mobile video-understanding than the current limited state of the art.
