Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for outputting secondary media assets are disclosed. One or more secondary media assets may be associated with objects already existing within a first media asset. The one or more secondary media assets may be indicated according to a manifest file and may be output during execution of a trick play command during output of the first media asset.
Claims28
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device and during output of a first media asset, a first trick play command to skip an additional media asset;
- receiving a second trick play command during the output of the first media asset;
- determining, based on the additional media asset, a secondary media asset;
- determining a spatial location, in the first media asset, that is associated with a time of the second trick play command;
- and
- causing concurrent output of the secondary media asset and the first media asset, wherein a position of the secondary media asset is based on the spatial location.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, during output of a first media asset, a first trick play command to skip an additional media asset;
- receive a second trick play command during the output of the first media asset;
- determine, based on the additional media asset, a secondary media asset;
- determine a spatial location, in the first media asset, that is associated with a time of the second trick play command;
- and
- cause concurrent output of the secondary media asset and the first media asset, wherein a position of the secondary media asset is based on the spatial location.
6 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause:
- receiving, during output of a first media asset, a first trick play command to skip an additional media asset;
- receiving a second trick play command during the output of the first media asset;
- determining, based on the additional media asset, a secondary media asset;
- determining a spatial location, in the first media asset, that is associated with a time of the second trick play command;
- and
- causing concurrent output of the secondary media asset and the first media asset, wherein a position of the secondary media asset is based on the spatial location.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a first computing device;
- and
- a second computing device,
- wherein the first computing device comprises:
- one or more first processors;
- and
- first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the first computing device to:
- receive, during output of a first media asset, a first trick play command to skip an additional media asset;
- receive a second trick play command during the output of the first media asset;
- determine, based on the additional media asset, a secondary media asset;
- determine a spatial location, in the first media asset, that is associated with a time of the second trick play command;
- and
- cause concurrent output of the secondary media asset and the first media asset, wherein a position of the secondary media asset is based on the spatial location, and
- wherein the second computing device comprises:
- one or more second processors;
- and
- second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the second computing device to:
- send the first trick play command.
