Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for delayed message notification associated with a content item. The system can receive a notification from a first user and intended for a second user, and can comprise a message, a content identifier, and a timestamp indicating a relative time within a content item associated with the content identifier. The system can transmit, to a device associated with the second user, a portion of the notification. In one implementation, the system can receive an indication that the second user's device is presenting the content item, and cause the message to be presented to the second.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, from a first user device associated with a user, a message for output during a portion of a content item;
- determining, based on the message, an identifier of the content item and an identifier of the portion of the content item associated with the message;
- generating a communication comprising the identifier of the content item, the identifier of the portion of the content item associated with the message, and the message;
- and
- sending the communication to a second user device.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, from a first user device associated with a user, a message for output during a portion of a content item;
- determine, based on the message, an identifier of the content item and an identifier of the portion of the content item associated with the message;
- generate a communication comprising the identifier of the content item, the identifier of the portion of the content item associated with the message, and the message;
- and
- send the communication to a second user device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive, by a computing device, from a first user device associated with a user, a message for output during a portion of a content item;
- determine, based on the message, an identifier of the content item and an identifier of the portion of the content item associated with the message;
- generate a communication comprising the identifier of the content item, the identifier of the portion of the content item associated with the message, and the message;
- and
- send the communication to a second user device.
A system comprising:
- a first user device, associated with a user, configured to send a message for output during a portion of a content item;
- a computing device configured to:
- receive, from the first user device, the message,
- determine, based on the message, an identifier of the content item and an identifier of the portion of the content item associated with the message,
- generate a communication comprising the identifier of the content item, the identifier of the portion of the content item associated with the message, and the message, and
- send the communication to a second user device;
- and
- the second user device configured to receive the communication.
