Abstract
In a computer-implemented method for generating an interactive digital video content item, a digital video content item is accessed. Subject recognition is performed on the digital video content item, wherein the subject recognition automatically identifies a visual subject within the digital video content item. Responsive to identifying the visual subject, an interactive region is applied to visual subject within the digital video content item, wherein the interactive region enables presentation of content related to the visual subject in response to a user interaction with the interactive region during presentation of the digital video content item.
Claims20
A method for generating an interactive digital video content item, the method comprising:
- accessing a digital video content item;
- performing facial recognition on a face of a human visual subject in the digital video content item to identify a person corresponding to the visual subject;
- in response to the facial recognition being unable to identify the person, performing subject recognition on the digital video content item, wherein the subject recognition automatically identifies the visual subject within the digital video content item as a category of human;
- and
- responsive to identifying the visual subject as a particular person or as a category of human, applying an interactive region to the visual subject within the digital video content item such that the interactive region overlays at least a portion of the visual subject and defines an area of the digital video content item for receiving a user interaction during presentation of the digital video content item, wherein the interactive region enables presentation of content related to the visual subject in response to a user interaction with the interactive region during presentation of the digital video content item, wherein the digital video content item is a short form looping prerecorded video file.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code stored thereon for causing a computer system to perform a method for generating an interactive digital video content item, the method comprising:
- accessing a digital video content item;
- performing facial recognition on a face of a human visual subject in the digital video content item to identify a person corresponding to the visual subject;
- in response to the facial recognition being unable to identify the person, performing subject recognition on the digital video content item, wherein the subject recognition automatically identifies the visual subject within the digital video content item as a category of human;
- and
- responsive to identifying the visual subject as a particular person or as a category of human, applying an interactive region to the visual subject within the digital video content item such that the interactive region overlays at least a portion of the visual subject and defines an area of the digital video content item for receiving a user interaction during presentation of the digital video content item, wherein the interactive region enables presentation of content related to the visual subject in response to a user interaction with the interactive region during presentation of the digital video content item.
A computer system comprising:
- a data storage unit;
- and
- a processor coupled with the data storage unit, the processor configured to:
- access a digital video content item;
- perform facial recognition on a face of a human visual subject in a digital video content item to identify a person corresponding to the visual subject;
- in response to the facial recognition being unable to identify the person, perform subject recognition on the digital video content item, wherein the subject recognition automatically identifies the visual subject within the digital video content item as a category of human;
- and
- responsive to identifying the visual subject as a particular person or as a category of human, apply an interactive region to the visual subject within the digital video content item such that the interactive region overlays at least a portion of the visual subject and defines an area of the digital video content item for receiving a user interaction during presentation of the digital video content item, wherein the interactive region enables presentation of content related to the visual subject in response to a user interaction with the interactive region during presentation of the digital video content item.
