Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying objects, such as advertised items or other content, within video content, which may be sequitur or non-sequitur in nature. The identified objects may then be select from within video content by a user to access metadata associated with the objects. The identified objects may be identified to viewers by cues. Cues may be oral, visual or both oral and visual. One or more frames corresponding to a period of video depicting identified objects are displayed in separate object identifiers that may be viewed by the viewer and from within which the identified objects may be selected by the viewer.
Claims14
A computer-implemented method for identifying selectable objects depicted within a video to a viewer, comprising:
- utilizing a processor of a computer to access and display the video, wherein one or more locations of one or more objects depicted within the video have been identified, wherein each identified object is depicted in a set of one or more locations corresponding to two or more sections of a viewer screen on which the video is displayed, wherein each identified object has been associated with the set of one or more locations and a period during play of the video that the identified object is depicted in the set of one or more locations, and wherein each identified object has been associated with sequitur or non-sequitur information;
- generating with the processor one or more object identifiers on a viewer screen as the one or more cues are generated, wherein each of the one or more object identifiers include one or more frames from the video depicting the identified object during the period;
- displaying the one or more frames to the viewer on the viewer screen in response to an object identifier being selected by the viewer;
- and
- providing the sequitur or non-sequitur information to the viewer in response to an identified object depicted in the one or more frames being selected by the viewer.
