US 2010/0247062 A1 · INTERACTIVE MEDIA PLAYER SYSTEM

Abstract

An interactive media player system and method is disclosed that permits a user to interact with audiovisual media (“videos”) during playback, by allowing the user to integrate audio or visual filters at certain temporal points and screen positions in the playback of the videos. The system is preferably designed to control playback via touch-screen devices like mobile phones, mobile media players, computers and free-standing video gaming devices, or desktop systems using a mouse. The system records the user interaction to generate a history track that can be shared or applied to other videos. In an alternative embodiment, the system is designed to control playback through the use of other user-input devices, such as a mouse on a traditional desktop platform.
