Abstract
The present technology pertains to displaying granular viewer interactions for how viewers are viewing shared content items, such as videos, over time. A sharing and tracking service of a sharing platform associated with or managed by a content management system provides the granular viewer interactions of viewer interactions that retrace a full journey of views of shared content items in a content item interaction analytics timeline. The content item interaction analytics timeline may provide a visual representation of how the viewer interacts with the content item (e.g., how the user is scrolling through the different segments) throughout the viewing.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- tracking, by a content management system, a plurality of viewer interactions with a content item, wherein the content item has one or more segments, wherein the plurality of viewer interactions is tracked per segment of the one or more segments, each segment having a universally unique identifier (UUID);
- providing, by the content management system, a content item interaction analytics timeline for display within a graphical user interface of a client device, the content item interaction analytics timeline representing navigation between at least a portion of the one or more segments of the content item based on the plurality of viewer interactions, wherein the content item interaction analytics timeline includes representations of the plurality of viewer interactions presented in chronological order;
- receiving, by the content management system, a user interaction with a first representation of the representations of the plurality of viewer interactions;
- and
- after receiving the user interaction with the first representation, providing, by the content management system, a preview of an associated segment associated with the first representation for display in the graphical user interface.
A computing system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the computing system to:
- track, by a content management system, a plurality of viewer interactions with a content item, wherein the content item has one or more segments, wherein the plurality of viewer interactions is tracked per segment of the one or more segments, each segment having a universally unique identifier (UUID);
- provide, by the content management system, a content item interaction analytics timeline for display within a graphical user interface of a client device, the content item interaction analytics timeline representing navigation between at least a portion of the one or more segments of the content item based on the plurality of viewer interactions, wherein the content item interaction analytics timeline includes representations of the plurality of viewer interactions presented in chronological order;
- receive, by the content management system, a user interaction with a first representation of the representations of the plurality of viewer interactions;
- and
- after receiving the user interaction with the first representation, provide, by the content management system, a preview of an associated segment associated with the first representation for display in the graphical user interface.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- track, by a content management system, a plurality of viewer interactions with a content item, wherein the content item has one or more segments, wherein the plurality of viewer interactions is tracked per segment of the one or more segments, each segment having a universally unique identifier (UUID);
- provide, by the content management system, a content item interaction analytics timeline for display within a graphical user interface of a client device, the content item interaction analytics timeline representing navigation between at least a portion of the one or more segments of the content item based on the plurality of viewer interactions, wherein the content item interaction analytics timeline includes representations of the plurality of viewer interactions presented in chronological order;
- receive, by the content management system, a user interaction with a first representation of the representations of the plurality of viewer interactions;
- and
- after receiving the user interaction with the first representation, provide, by the content management system, a preview of an associated segment associated with the first representation for display in the graphical user interface.
