Abstract

Video messaging systems and methods utilize a video messaging component based on a video messaging component container stored in a data store. The video messaging component container includes a collaborative video list that shows a list of video content generated by users of the video messaging component. Iterations of the video messaging component are rendered in host applications on client devices. As video content is generated by the iterations, the collaborative video list is updated to include the video content, and the iterations of the video messaging component are updated to reflect changes to the collaborative video list in real-time.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method for asynchronous video messaging, the method comprising:

rendering iterations of a first video messaging component in host applications on client devices and linking the iterations to a first video messaging component container stored in a data store, the first video messaging component container including a collaborative video list for collecting and storing playback information and display information for video content generated by the iterations of the video messaging component, each of the iterations having a user interface, the user interface including (i) a video list interface for showing the display information for the video content, (ii) a video display interface for playing the video content based on the playback information, and (iii) a video generating interface for generating the video content for the collaborative video list;
generating new video content for the first video messaging component via the video generating interface of one or more of the iterations of the video messaging component;
storing new playback information and new display information for the new video content in the collaborative video list;
and
updating the video list interface of each of the iterations of the video messaging component to reflect changes to the collaborative video list of the first video messaging component container in real-time.

2 more elements

A data processing system comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory in communication with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the data processing system to perform functions of:
rendering a first iteration of a first video messaging component in a first host application and linking the first iteration to a first video messaging component container stored in a data store, the first video messaging component container including a first collaborative video list for collecting and storing playback information for video content generated for the first video messaging component, the first iteration having a user interface, the user interface including (i) a video list interface for showing the video content in the first collaborative video list, (ii) a video display interface for playing the video content in the video list interface, and (iii) a video generating interface for generating new video content for the first video messaging component;
and
updating the video list interface of the first iteration of the video messaging component to reflect changes to the first collaborative video list of the first video messaging component container in real-time.

3 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable medium on which are stored instructions that, when executed, cause a programmable device to perform functions of:

rendering a first iteration of a first video messaging component in a first host application and linking the first iteration to a first video messaging component container stored in a data store, the first video messaging component container including a first collaborative video list for collecting and storing playback information for video content generated for the first video messaging component, the first iteration having a user interface, the user interface including (i) a video list interface for showing the video content in the first collaborative video list, (ii) a video display interface for playing the video content in the video list interface, and (iii) a video generating interface for generating new video content for the first video messaging component;
and
updating the video list interface of the first iteration of the video messaging component to reflect changes to the first collaborative video list of the first video messaging component container in real-time.
