  • Publication number: 20150278235
    Abstract: A computerized system and method for flexibly parsing documents (including webpages, PDF files, Word documents, images etc.) to generate webpages with additional user interface elements (e.g. an identifier) enabling them to make comments on specific types of content. The website administrator selects the type of parsing (e.g. by lines, sentences, paragraphs, images, video) and where it will be applied on the webpage imported content (e.g. present pages, page range, entire document, selected text, etc.). The parsing code generates webpages that includes identifiers (e.g. line or sentence numbers) that when activated by a reader displays a comment area that enables them to add a comment specific to that identifier (line, sentence, etc.), which is then sent to a remote database file of comments made by multiple readers for the same identified content. The reader may also view via a link the comments of other readers for the same identifier.

  • Publication number: 20150082342
    Abstract: A software system and method allowing television and/or cinema viewers to create, store, and display comments pertaining to media content (e.g. programs, streaming movies, advertisements). Users with electronic computing devices comprising a web browser (e.g. smartphone, smart television, etc.) enter comments and transmit them to a third party database for storage and/or display on website(s) (e.g. social media). Webpages display user interface elements allowing the viewer to identify the television content (title of show), and to receive comment data input, which is then transmitted to remote second servers for storage, and/or for display on second websites. An administrator accesses a webpage of the first website server to enter data (e.g. HTML code) for creating user interface elements. When the webpage containing the code is posted to a website, the code results in a comment display page where users can input comments on television content and on posted comments.
