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.
Claims23
A computer-implemented method for identifying objects depicted within a video, comprising:
- utilizing a processor of a computer to access and display the video;
- accepting through an interface of the computer one or more locations of one or more identified objects depicted in the video, wherein the interface includes a grid overlaid on at least a portion of a display screen of the computer, and wherein each identified objects is depicted in a set of one or more locations corresponding to two or more grid sections of the grid;
- for each identified object, associating with the processor the identified object 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
- associating with the processor sequitur or non-sequitur information with each identified object, wherein the sequitur or non-sequitur information is not part of the video prior to object identification.
