Abstract
Interactive multimedia package methods and systems are provided. An interactive multimedia package system may generate, manage, deliver, and/or play interactive multimedia packages with various digital media. An interactive multimedia package may be incorporated into any platform such as physical media (e.g., CDs, DVDs, etc.), web services (e.g., download, or streaming), and other applications. A user may shop directly off of the digital media that he or she is experiencing (e.g., watching a movie, viewing a digital news, reading an e-book, playing a video game, etc.) The user may be directed to an e-commerce website, a digital storefront, or a list of items associated with an object, by clicking on the object of interest in the digital media.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying an object in a digital media;
- identifying a set of items related to the object, each item of the set of items corresponding to an item provider;
- and
- associating the set of items with the object to generate an interactive multimedia package, the interactive multimedia package being configured to present an item of the set of items to a user in response to a user's command.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an interactive multimedia package and a digital media, the interactive multimedia package being configured to present an item related to an object of the digital media to a user in response to a user's command;
- processing the multimedia package to generate trigger data, the trigger data being configured to present an item of the set of items to a user in response to a user's command;
- and
- displaying the trigger data with the digital media in response to a triggering event.
The computer-implemented method of 10, further comprising displaying a user interface to the user in response to a user's trigger action.
The computer-implemented method of 11, wherein the digital media is displayed in a first screen and the UI is configured to be displayed in a second screen different from the first screen.
The computer-implemented method of 11, wherein the digital media is displayed in a first screen and the UI is configured to be displayed in the first screen,
The computer-implemented method of 11, wherein the UI is configured to be displayed simultaneously with the digital media.
The computer-implemented method of 11, wherein the UI is configured to be displayed when the digital media is paused.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing a set of instructions configured to cause the processor to:
- identify an object in a digital media;
- identify a set of items related to the object, each item of the set of items corresponding to an item provider;
- and
- associate the set of items with the object to generate an interactive multimedia package, the interactive multimedia package being configured to present an item of the set of items to a user in response to a user's command.
