Abstract
A system for video scrolling may allow a user to control speed and/or direction of video playback through user inputs. Such user inputs can include swiping one or more fingers on a touch-sensitive surface, clicking and dragging a computer mouse, or other input actions comprising lateral movements. The rate of playback can be configured based on the speed of the input action. In one embodiment, the user may play the video backward by reversing direction of the input action.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for scrolling through a video, comprising:
- receiving a video asset, the video asset comprising a video segment length;
- detecting an input action made by an input object;
- determining a current coordinate set for the input object;
- determining an offset for the input object;
- calculating, from the offset and the video segment length, a Seek To time value;
- and
- playing the video asset to the Seek To time value.
A method for computer-implemented method for scrolling through a video, comprising:
- at a mobile computing device, receiving the video, the video comprising multiple frames;
- on a touch-sensitive display of the mobile computing device, displaying a video display view;
- at the video display view, detecting an input action;
- determining an offset of the input action;
- on the touch-sensitive display, displaying a quantity of selected frames of the video, the quantity depending on the offset of the input action.
A computer-implemented system for scrolling a video comprising:
- a video scrolling server comprising a memory device and a processing device, the memory device storing computer-readable instructions directing the processing device to:
- receive a video asset, the video asset comprising a video segment length;
- detect an input action made by an input object;
- determine a current coordinate set for the input object;
- determine an offset for the input object;
- calculate, from the offset and the video segment length, a Seek To time value;
- and
- play the video asset to the Seek To time value.
