Abstract
A method causes a display device to simultaneously display (1) a video scene including a plurality of items depicted in the video scene; (2) a first tag in a first position in the video scene; and (3) a second tag in a second position, distinct from the first position, in the video scene. The first tag is associated with one of the items in the video scene. The second tag is associated with one of the items in the video scene. The second tag appears distinct and separated away from its associated item in the video scene. The second tag includes text information describing its associated item in the video scene.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- causing a display device to display a video scene, the video scene including a plurality of items depicted in the video scene;
- causing the display device to display, simultaneously with the video scene, a first tag in a first position in the video scene, the first tag being associated with one of the items in the video scene;
- causing the display device to display, simultaneously with the video scene and the first tag, a second tag in a second position in the video scene, the second tag being associated with one of the items in the video scene, the second tag appearing distinct and separated away from its associated item in the video scene, wherein the second tag includes text information describing its associated item in the video scene, the second position being distinct from the first position;
- and
- causing the display device to display a visually perceptible indicator extending between a proximity of the second position and a proximity of the position in the video scene of the item associated with the second tag, wherein the visually perceptible indicator is characterized by a length and an angular orientation, wherein the length is determined by a distance between the second tag and its associated item in the video scene, wherein the angular orientation is determined by the second position and the position in the video scene of the item associated with the second tag, and wherein one or more of the length and the angular orientation changes as the second tag and its associated item move relative to each other.

An apparatus for use with a video display device, the apparatus comprising:
- a hardware processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that configure the hardware processor to:
- cause the display device to display a video scene, the video scene including a plurality of items depicted in the video scene;
- cause the display device to display, simultaneously with the video scene, a first tag in a first position in the video scene, the first tag being associated with one of the items in the video scene;
- cause the display device to display, simultaneously with the video scene and the first tag, a second tag in a second position in the video scene, the second tag being associated with one of the items in the video scene, the second tag appearing distinct and separated away from its associated item in the video scene, wherein the second tag includes text information describing its associated item in the video scene, the second position being distinct from the first position;
- and
- cause the display device to display a visually perceptible indicator extending between a proximity of the second position and a proximity of the position in the video scene of the item associated with the second tag, wherein the visually perceptible indicator is characterized by a length and an angular orientation, wherein the length is determined by a distance between the second tag and its associated item in the video scene, wherein the angular orientation is determined by the second position and the position in the video scene of the item associated with the second tag, and wherein one or more of the length and the angular orientation changes as the second tag and its associated item move relative to each other.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions comprising:
- instructions to cause a display device to display a video scene, the video scene including a plurality of items depicted in the video scene;
- instructions to cause the display device to display, simultaneously with the video scene, a first tag in a first position in the video scene, the first tag being associated with one of the items in the video scene;
- instructions to cause the display device to display, simultaneously with the video scene and the first tag, a second tag in a second position in the video scene, the second tag being associated with one of the items in the video scene, the second tag appearing distinct and separated away from its associated item in the video scene, wherein the second tag includes text information describing its associated item in the video scene, the second position being distinct from the first position;
- and
- instructions to cause the display device to display a visually perceptible indicator extending between a proximity of the second position and a proximity of the position in the video scene of the item associated with the second tag, wherein the visually perceptible indicator is characterized by a length and an angular orientation, wherein the length is determined by a distance between the second tag and its associated item in the video scene, wherein the angular orientation is determined by the second position and the position in the video scene of the item associated with the second tag, and wherein one or more of the length and the angular orientation changes as the second tag and its associated item move relative to each other.
