Abstract

According to one aspect, a web optimized user device is provided. The web optimized device reduces complexity and facilitates interaction with web-based services and content. The web optimized device can be configured without a hard drive, facilitating integration of web-based services into a computing experience. The web optimized device presents a user interface that integrates video chat functionality into every aspect of the computer content accessed. In particular, a display manager manages the user interface presented and integrates video chat displays and features into the content displays in a content and/or context aware manner. These displays permit a user to intuitively interact with the video chat content and features while the user changes content, for example, web-based services, web-based applications, and other media content, without interruption of or interference from the video chat content.

Claims30

Dependent claims

A system for providing dynamically loaded video services, the system comprising:

at least one processor operatively connected to a memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute system components from the memory;
a user interface management component configured to manage rendering of computer content in a graphical user interface displayed to a user on a computer device;
a communication component configured to connect the computer device to a communication network;
a video service handler configured to:
access a web-based live video service provider;
dynamically load a web-based live video service over the communication component from the live video service provider;
manage transmitted and received live video content;
communicate live video content to the user interface management component;
wherein the user interface management component is further configured to manage the display of the live video content in the graphical user interface displayed to the user;
a second video service handler configured to:
access another web-based live video service provider;
dynamically load another web-based live video service over the communication component from the another live video service provider;
manage transmitted and received live video content;
and
communicate live video content to the user interface management component;
wherein the interface management component is further configured to bridge the live content delivered from the video service handler and the second video service handler.

13 more elements

A computer implemented method for dynamically loading live video services, the method comprising:

managing, by a user interface management component, a display of rendered computer content in a graphical user interface to a user on a computer device;
connecting, by the computer device, to web-based content over a communication network;
accessing, by a video service handler, a live video service provider;
loading, dynamically by the video service handler, a web-based live video service over the communication network;
managing, by the video service handler, transmitted and received live video content;
communicating the live video content to the user interface management component;
rendering, by a rendering engine, the live video content received from the user interface management component;
accessing, by a second video service handler, a second live video service provider;
loading, dynamically by the second video service handler, a web-based live video service over the communication network;
managing, by the second video service handler, transmitted and received live video content from the second live video service provider;
communicating the live video content from the second live video service provider to the user interface management component;
rendering, by a rendering engine, the live video content received from the user interface management component;
and
bridging, by the user interface management component, the live content delivered from the video service handler and the second video service handler.
