Abstract
Systems and methods describe presenting media to a user at a user device, determining a location relevant to the media, determining whether the user has visited a vicinity of the location by searching through information related to the user, and based on to determining that the user has visited the vicinity of the location searching through the user's personal collection of media in a time window corresponding to the user's visit to retrieve personal media related to the location, and generating for display, based on the searching, a list of personal media related to the location relevant to the media being presented at the user device.
Claims20
A method to generate a comparative view of a video asset being consumed by a user with generated supplemental content, where the supplemental content is generated using user generated content related to a location referenced in the video asset, the method comprising:
- presenting a frame of the video asset to the user at a user device;
- determining a location at which contents depicted in an image that is presented in the frame resides;
- determining whether the user has visited a vicinity of the location by searching through a profile related to the user;
- and
- in response to determining that the user visited the vicinity of the location:
- extracting from the frame a first portion of the frame that includes the image and excludes a second portion of the frame that does not include the image;
- searching through user generated media in a period of time when the user is determined to have visited the location to retrieve a set of media that corresponds to the location;
- performing an image comparison between a personal image within the set of media and the first portion;
- determining, based on the image comparison, whether there is a match between the personal image and the first portion;
- and
- in response to determining a match, generating a comparative view of the first portion with the personal image.
A system to generate a comparative view of a video asset being consumed by a user with generated supplemental content, where the supplemental content is generated using user generated content related to a location referenced in the video asset, the system comprising:
- control circuitry configured to:
- present a frame of the video asset to the user at a user device;
- determine a location at which contents depicted in an image that is presented in the frame resides;
- determine whether the user has visited a vicinity of the location by searching through a profile related to the user;
- and
- in response to determining that the user visited the vicinity of the location:
- extract from the frame a first portion of the frame that includes the image and excludes a second portion of the frame that does not include the image;
- search through user generated media in a period of time when the user is determined to have visited the location to retrieve a set of media that corresponds to the location;
- perform an image comparison between a personal image within the set of media and the first portion;
- determine, based on the image comparison, whether there is a match between the personal image and the first portion;
- and
- in response to determining a match, generate a comparative view of the first portion with the personal image.
