Abstract: Techniques are described for delivery and handling of automated user-responsive video sub-content. For example, a user is consuming video content associated with content-of-interest (COI) identifiers corresponding to certain sub-content relevant to the video content during certain playback time windows. During playback, embodiments use one or more sensors detect dynamic user input. At some time during playback of the video content, some of the COI identifiers are considered to be actively relevant, and detected dynamic user input is determined to invoke at least one of the actively relevant COI identifiers. A COI query can automatically be generated based on the invoked one or more COI identifiers, and a corresponding query response can be automatically generated and output to the user based on response data associated with the invoked one or more COI identifiers.

Abstract: Techniques are described for integrated sharing of media playback interactions (MPIs). Responsive to consumer interactions with media content during playback of a media file, embodiments can produce MPIs corresponding to the consumer's changes in the playback presentation of the content. The MPIs can be associated with the media file as one or more sharable embedded MPIs (EMPIs). A consumer can share the media file with its associated EMPIs. When the same or a different consumer subsequently accesses the content from the media file, embodiments permit playback of the content with selective access to the EMPIs. For example, a first consumer can share media content with its associated EMPIs, thereby permitting a second consumer control over which portions of the media content are played back with and without experiencing the first consumer's EMPIs.
