Abstract
A method and a system include receiving a request from a client device to view a media content item, determining at least one comment associated with a respective user profile from a set of connected profiles, generating a summary comments selectable item based at least in part on the respective user profile, causing a display of playback of the media content item and the summary comments selectable item in response to the request to view the media content item, and during the playback of the media content item at the particular time, causing a display of at least one comment.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a request from a client device to view a media content item, the media content item associated with a set of comments, the media content item having a duration of time for playback, each comment from the set of comments associated with a user profile and a timestamp representing a time within the duration of time in which each comment was created, the request associated with a viewer profile, the viewer profile associated with a set of connected profiles in an entity graph;
- determining at least one comment associated with a respective user profile from the set of connected profiles, the at least one comment associated with a particular time within the duration of time in which the at least one comment was created;
- generating a summary comments selectable item based at least in part on the respective user profile, the summary comments selectable item including at least one profile icon corresponding to the respective user profile;
- causing a display of playback of the media content item and the summary comments selectable item in response to the request to view the media content item;
- and
- during the playback of the media content item at the particular time, causing a display of the at least one comment.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request from a client device to view a media content item, the media content item associated with a set of comments, the media content item having a duration of time for playback, each comment from the set of comments associated with a user profile and a timestamp representing a time within the duration of time in which each comment was created, the request associated with a viewer profile, the viewer profile associated with a set of connected profiles in an entity graph;
- determining at least one comment associated with a respective user profile from the set of connected profiles, the at least one comment associated with a particular time within the duration of time in which the at least one comment was created;
- generating a summary comments selectable item based at least in part on the respective user profile, the summary comments selectable item including at least one profile icon corresponding to the respective user profile;
- causing a display of playback of the media content item and the summary comments selectable item in response to the request to view the media content item;
- and
- during the playback of the media content item at the particular time, causing a display of the at least one comment.
A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instruction data executable by a machine to cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request from a client device to view a media content item, the media content item associated with a set of comments, the media content item having a duration of time for playback, each comment from the set of comments associated with a user profile and a timestamp representing a time within the duration of time in which each comment was created, the request associated with a viewer profile, the viewer profile associated with a set of connected profiles in an entity graph;
- determining at least one comment associated with a respective user profile from the set of connected profiles, the at least one comment associated with a particular time within the duration of time in which the at least one comment was created;
- generating a summary comments selectable item based at least in part on the respective user profile, the summary comments selectable item including at least one profile icon corresponding to the respective user profile;
- causing a display of playback of the media content item and the summary comments selectable item in response to the request to view the media content item;
- and
- during the playback of the media content item at the particular time, causing a display of the at least one comment.
