Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for fact-checking contemporary and/or live video streams. In one aspect, the disclosed systems and methods may provide fact-checked commentary and annotations to enhance the enjoyment and engagement with the streaming media. In one aspect, the systems and methods nay generate an overlay for the streaming media that includes fact-checked annotations and comments about statements or assertions made during the live streaming media.
Claims21
A method for providing real-time annotation in a streaming media system, the method comprising:
- at a processor of the streaming media system, monitoring streaming media being streamed over a communication network to a viewer device of a viewer;
- instructing a tracking device associated with the viewer device to capture at least one viewer reaction, the viewer reaction being of a type predicted to occur in response to a portion of the streaming media;
- classifying, at the processor, a type of the viewer reaction by applying machine learning to data regarding the viewer;
- generating an annotation regarding the portion of the streaming media based on the classified type of the viewer reaction;
- and
- updating a display of the viewer device to include the generated annotation, wherein the generated annotation is synchronized to the portion of the streaming media.
A system for providing real-time annotation in a streaming media system, the system comprising:
- a database in memory that stores data regarding the streaming media, and
- a host server that:
- provides the streaming media to a viewer device of the viewer;
- monitors the streaming media being streamed over a communication network to the viewer device;
- instructs a tracking device associated with the viewer device to capture at least one viewer reaction, the viewer reaction being of a type predicted to occur in response to a portion of the streaming media;
- classifies a type of the viewer reaction by applying machine learning to data regarding the viewer;
- generates an annotation regarding the portion of the streaming media based on the classified type of the viewer reaction;
- and
- updates a display of the viewer device to include the generated annotation, wherein the generated annotation is synchronized to the portion of the streaming media.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for providing real-time annotation in a streaming media system;
- the method comprising:
- storing data regarding the streaming media;
- providing the streaming media to the viewer;
- monitoring streaming media being streamed over a communication network to a viewer device of a viewer;
- instructing a tracking device associated with the viewer device to capture at least one viewer reaction, the viewer reaction being of a type predicted to occur in response to a portion of the streaming media;
- classifying a type of the viewer reaction by applying machine learning to data regarding the viewer;
- generating an annotation regarding the portion of the streaming media based on the classified type of the viewer reaction;
- and
- updating a display of the viewer device to include the generated annotation, wherein the generated annotation is synchronized to the portion of the streaming media.
