Computerized system and method for determining media based on selected motion video inputs

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions, such that when a computing device executes the instructions, a method is performed comprising:

• communicating, via the computing device over a network, an initial set of videos to a device of a user, said communication causing the user device to display the video set within a first portion of a user interface (UI);
• receiving, via the computing device, a selection corresponding to at least one video in said video set;
• determining, via the computing device, based on said received selection, a context of the user, said context based at least in part on said at least one selected video;
• creating, via the computing device, a set of state media items based on said context, each state media item comprising a looping, animated icon depicting digital content corresponding to said context;
• communicating, via the computing device, said set of state media items to said user device, said communication causing said set of state media items to be displayed and rendered within a second portion of the UI;
• receiving, via the computing device, a selection of a state media item from said set of state media items;
• searching, via the computing device, a media repository for videos based on said selection of the state media item, said searching comprising identifying a second set of videos having content corresponding to a context of the selected state media item;
• and
• communicating, via the computing device, said second set of videos to said user device, said communication causing the first UI portion to be modified to display said second set of videos.

A computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for tangibly storing thereon program logic for execution by the processor, the program logic comprising:
• logic executed by the processor for communicating, via the computing device over a network, an initial set of videos to a device of a user, said communication causing the user device to display the video set within a first portion of a user interface (UI);
• logic executed by the processor for receiving, via the computing device, a selection corresponding to at least one video in said video set;
• logic executed by the processor for determining, via the computing device, based on said received selection, a context of the user, said context based at least in part on said at least one selected video;
• logic executed by the processor for creating, via the computing device, a set of state media items based on said context, each state media item comprising a looping, animated icon depicting digital content corresponding to said context;
• logic executed by the processor for communicating, via the computing device, said set of state media items to said user device, said communication causing said set of state media items to be displayed and rendered within a second portion of the UI;
• logic executed by the processor for receiving, via the computing device, a selection of a state media item from said set of state media items;
• logic executed by the processor for searching, via the computing device, a media repository for videos based on said selection of the state media item, said searching comprising identifying a second set of videos having content corresponding to a context of the selected state media item;
• and
• logic executed by the processor for communicating, via the computing device, said second set of videos to said user device, said communication causing the first UI portion to be modified to display said second set of videos.
