Concepts for providing an enhanced media presentation

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including program code, the at least one memory and the program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:

• receive segment data for a segment, the segment data comprising one or more content object identifiers, wherein (a) the segment data is associated with video data, (b) the video data comprises a segment of the enhanced media presentation, and (c) the enhanced media presentation is a show;
• cause simultaneous display of one or more content object tiles and at least a portion of the video data in a first portion of a window of a user interface, wherein (a) each content object tile of the one or more content object tiles corresponds to a content object identified by one of the one or more content object identifiers, (b) each content object is associated with a type indicating a media type of the associated content object, and (c) the video data is provided with a first set of video controls;
• receive input indicating user selection of one of the one or more content object tiles;
• in response to receiving the input indicating user selection of one of the one or more content object tiles:
• request the content object corresponding to the user selected content object tile, and
• cause display of the at least a portion of the video data to be adjusted, wherein the adjustment of the display of the at least a portion of the video data causes the at least a portion of the video data to be displayed in a second portion of the window of the user interface, the adjusted video data provided with a second set of video controls, wherein a video comprising the video data continues to play when the display of the video data is adjusted;
• receive a normalized content object corresponding to the user-selected content object tile, the normalized content object representing a content item associated with at least one unique resource identifier (URI) and normalized based at least in part on a content object template corresponding to the type associated with the content object corresponding to the user-selected content object tile;
• and
• in response to receiving the normalized content object, cause display of the normalized content object is displayed in the first portion in the same window of the user interface.

A computer program product for providing an enhanced media presentation, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• an executable portion configured to cause simultaneous display of one or more content object tiles and at least a portion of the video data in a first portion of a window of a user interface, wherein (a) each content object tile of the one or more content object tiles corresponds to a content object identified by one of the one or more content object identifiers, (b) each content object is associated with a type indicating a media type of the associated content object, and (c) the video data is provided with a first set of video controls;
• an executable portion configured to receive input indicating user selection of one of the one or more content object tiles;
• an executable portion configured to, in response to receiving the input indicating user selection of one of the one or more content object tiles:
• request the content object corresponding to the user selected content object tile, and
• display of the at least a portion of the video data to be adjusted, wherein the adjustment of the display of the at least a portion of the video data causes the at least a portion of the video data to be displayed in a second portion of the window of the user interface, the adjusted video data provided with a second set of video controls, wherein a video comprising the video data continues to play when the display of the video data is adjusted;
• an executable portion configured to receive a normalized content object corresponding to the user-selected content object tile, the normalized content object representing a content item associated with at least one unique resource identifier (URI) and normalized based at least in part on a content object template corresponding to the type associated with the content object corresponding to the user-selected content object tile;
• and
• an executable portion configured to, in response to receiving the normalized content object, cause display of the normalized content object in the first portion in the same window of the user interface.

A method for providing an enhanced media presentation, the method comprising:

• providing for display a tile representative of a content object, the tile being displayed simultaneously with a portion of video data to which the content object is associated, the video data comprises a segment of an enhanced media presentation, the enhanced media presentation is a show, wherein the video data is provided with a first set of video controls and the content object is associated with a type indicating a media type of the content object;
• receiving a request for the content object, the request comprising an object identifier;
• identifying the content object based at least in part on the object identifier;
• normalizing the content object based at least in part on an expected download time for the content object and a template corresponding to the type associated with the content object;
• and
• providing the normalized content object, wherein the normalized content object is displayed via the first portion of a window of a user interface while the display of the portion of the video data is adjusted in response to the request for the content object such that the portion of the video data is (a) displayed via a second portion of the same window of the user interface and (b) provided with a second set of video controls, and wherein a video comprising the video data continues to play when the display of the video data is adjusted.

A system for providing an enhanced media presentation, the system comprising at least one memory and at least one processor, the system configured to at least:
