20140178051 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOADING MORE THAN ONE VIDEO CONTENT AT A TIME - A system for loading videos includes an interactive video player is with a loader. A product configuration file in operation configures files for a user in creation of a custom video. External assets are configured for a design of an interactive layer of the video. The interactive video player in operation creates in real-time a custom video that includes a plurality of video segments. | 06-26-2014 |
20140270680 | System and Method for Synchronization of Selectably Presentable Media Streams - A system for synchronizing audio and video of selectably presentable multimedia content includes a memory for storing a plurality of selectably presentable multimedia content segments. Each content segment defines a portion of one or more content paths and includes a decision period during which a user may select a subsequent content segment as the content segment is playing. An assembly engine seamlessly assembles a subset of the content segments into one of the content paths, ultimately forming a multimedia presentation. A configuration manager determines an audio file and a video file to be played based on a content segment that is selected to be played immediately following the currently playing content segment. An audio engine processes the audio file for playback, and a video engine synchronizes playback of the video file with the playback of the audio file. | 09-18-2014 |
20140380167 | Systems and methods for multiple device interaction with selectably presentable media streams - A system for multiple device interaction with selectably presentable multimedia content includes an output engine, an input engine, a manager, and a memory that stores selectably presentable multimedia content segments. Each content segment represents a predefined portion of one or more content paths. The output engine, executing on a first device, receives a subset of the content segments, assembles them into a seamless multimedia presentation that is one of the content paths, and plays the assembled multimedia presentation. The input engine, executing on a second device, receives user interactions associated with the multimedia presentation, and the manager coordinates the multimedia presentation among multiple devices based on the user interactions. A method implementing the above steps is also included. | 12-25-2014 |
20150067723 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR UNFOLDING VIDEO PRE-ROLL - Method and accompanying system for an unfolding video pre-roll. A primary video having a fixed play length is presented and, in temporal proximity to at least a portion of the primary video, an unfolding video having a variable play length is presented to the viewer. If an interaction is received from the viewer during the playback of the unfolding video, the play length of the unfolding video is extended by adding a seamlessly connected video segment to the unfolding video, which is continuously presented to the viewer without interruption. | 03-05-2015 |
20150104155 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REAL-TIME PIXEL SWITCHING - Systems and accompanying methods are provided for real-time pixel switching in video. A video having first and second portions is provided and is presented to a user, with the first video portion being initially visible to the user and the second video portion not initially visible to the user. During presentation of the video, a user interaction with the first video portion is received, and a selected region of the second video portion is identified based thereon, where the selected region defines a subset of pixels from the second video portion. The selected region is then overlaid on the first video portion, and playback of the second video portion and the first video portion is synchronized. | 04-16-2015 |
20150179224 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SEEKING TO NON-KEY FRAMES - Methods and systems for seeking to a non-key frame in a compressed video. The compressed video has a plurality of frames, each with a playback timestamp. At least one of the frames is a key frame. A selection of a non-key frame is received, and a temporally proximate key frame is identified. The set of frames between the identified key frame and the selected frame is played in a reduced time interval, and the selected frame is displayed as if it were a key frame. | 06-25-2015 |
20150181301 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IN-VIDEO LIBRARY - Method and accompanying system for providing an in-video library. A video player presents a video stream to a user. During presentation of the video stream, the video player displays at least a portion of a library of selectable prerecorded video segments, and a selection of one or more of the prerecorded video segments from the library is received from the user. The video player further displays a video segment watch-list that includes the selected prerecorded video segments. The video player then presents the segments in the video segment watch-list as part of the video stream. | 06-25-2015 |
