  • Publication number: 20220180377
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for data mining in the context of an interactive video. During the presentation of an interactive video, a user may interact with the interactive video by, e.g., making selections, choosing options, etc. related to one or more aspects of the interactive video. Such events and details regarding the events may be recorded, stored, and analyzed in the context of one or more campaigns associated with the interactive video, such as marketing campaigns, advertising campaigns, interactive examinations, etc. Once the details regarding the events have been stored, reports may be extracted based upon the details detailing any desired information relevant to the one or more campaigns.

  • Patent number: 10474334
    Abstract: A system for navigating and visualizing the progression of selectably presentable video content includes a progress indicator module for dynamically displaying the progression status of video content paths made up of selectably presentable video content segments. The system further includes an interactive control module for facilitating navigation along the video content paths. The progression status may be graphically represented in the form of a tree structure having linked video content segments forming the content paths. The control module may be used to navigate the video within this tree structure.

  • Patent number: 9607655
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for seamless assembly of video/audio segments. To achieve such seamless assembly during streaming/online progressive download of media, a second segment is downloaded to a client during the presentation of a first segment. The first segment is then attached to the beginning of the second segment, where no jitter or gap results with the transition point either in the video or audio portion of the segments. Hence, the merged segments are presented as a seamless assembly of video/audio segments, where the user is “unaware” that the merged segments are the result of two separate or different segments. To effectuate such gapless assembly of segments, a gapless media file is created for encoding the video and audio segments using a gapless audio encoding scheme, such as Ogg Vorbis, where synchronized, gapless audio tags are interleaved in the video segments.

  • Patent number: 9271015
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20150199116
    Abstract: A system for navigating and visualizing the progression of selectably presentable video content includes a progress indicator module for dynamically displaying the progression status of video content paths made up of selectably presentable video content segments. The system further includes an interactive control module for facilitating navigation along the video content paths. The progression status may be graphically represented in the form of a tree structure having linked video content segments forming the content paths. The control module may be used to navigation the video within this tree structure.

  • Patent number: 8860882
    Abstract: A system for constructing seamlessly viewable multimedia content from selectably presentable multimedia content blocks includes a block definition module for facilitating creation and modification of the content blocks. The block definition module includes a media assignment submodule for associating a synchronized audio and video segment with a content block. Also included is a block linking submodule for creating seamless connections between content blocks, whereby a transition between the connected blocks occurs substantially without interruption upon viewing the multimedia content. The block definition module further includes a layer submodule for associating an interactive layer having interactive controls with the content block.
