Abstract
In some implementations, a system is capable of dynamically associating content streams to improve a user's viewing experience while accessing primary content. To accomplish this, the CMS uses content association data assigning secondary content items to the primary content. Secondary content items can be assigned to designated frames of the primary content so that the secondary content items are presented to user at specified time points during the playback of the primary content. Secondary content items can represent content that is related to the subject matter of the primary content, or content that a user may be interested in accessing while viewing the primary content.
Claims1
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a server system, data indicating that a primary content is accessed on a computing device;
- generating, by the server system, content association data for the primary content, the content association data specifying (i) one or more designated frames of the primary content, and (ii) one or more secondary content items assigned to each of the one or more designated frames;
- determining, by the server system, that the computing device accessed a particular frame from among the one or more designated frames;
- and
- in response to determining that the computing device is accessing the particular frame, providing, by the server system and for output to one or more computing devices, an instruction to display a communication that includes the one or more secondary content items assigned to the particular frame within the content association data.
