Abstract
The present disclosure comprises systems and methods for tagging a post to a specific scene in a media stream. The systems and methods receive a post from a user to a specific scene in a media stream, tag the post to the specific scene in the media stream, generate a post indication/message indicating a post is tagged to the specific scene, receive a response to the post indication/message, surface the post, determine whether to display the media from beginning or from the tagged scene, locate the scene to which the post is tagged, display the media from the tagged scene, generate a spoiler alert, display spoiler alert, receive a response to the spoiler alert, and remove the alert.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, using at least one computing device, a post from a particular user regarding a media stream;
- tagging, using the computing device, the post to a specific region in the media stream;
- generating, using the computing device, an indication of the post;
- providing for display, using the computing device, the indication of the post at the specific region in the media stream;
- generating, using the computing device, a spoiler alert configured to indicate that the post is tagged in the media stream;
- providing, using the computing device, the spoiler alert for display;
- receiving, using the computing device, an action by at least one of the particular user or another user, responsive to the indication of the post;
- and
- in response to the action, surfacing, using the computing device, the post at the specific region in the media stream.
A computer-implemented method for surfacing a post, the method comprising:
- receiving, using at least one computing device, the post from a particular user regarding the media stream;
- tagging, using the computing device, the post to a specific region in the media stream;
- generating, using the computing device, an indication of the post;
- providing for display, using the computing device, the indication of the post at the specific region in the media stream;
- receiving, using the computing device, an action by at least one of the particular user or another user responsive to the indication of the post;
- and
- in response to the action, surfacing, using the computing device, the post at the specific region in the media stream.
A system for surfacing a post, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, wherein the processor and memory are communicatively coupled and further comprise:
- a post-tagging module configured to receive the post from a particular user relating to the media stream, configured to tag the post to a specific region in the media stream, and configured to generate an indication of the post;
- a user-interface module configured to provide for display the indication of the post at the specific region in the media stream;
- and
- a post-surfacing module configured to receive an action by the particular user responsive to the indication of the post, and in response to the action, surfacing the post at the specific region in the media stream.
