Patent number: 9684432Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adding and displaying interactive annotations for existing online hosted videos. A graphical annotation interface allows the creation of annotations and association of the annotations with a video. Annotations may be of different types and have different functionality, such as altering the appearance and/or behavior of an existing video, e.g. by supplementing it with text, allowing linking to other videos or web pages, or pausing playback of the video. Authentication of a user desiring to perform annotation of a video may be performed in various manners, such as by checking a uniform resource locator (URL) against an existing list, checking a user identifier against an access list, and the like. As a result of authentication, a user is accorded the appropriate annotation abilities, such as full annotation, no annotation, or annotation restricted to a particular temporal or spatial portion of the video.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2013Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Michael Fink, Ryan Junee, Sigalit Bar, Aviad Barzilai, Isaac Elias, Julian Frumar, Herbert Ho, Nir Kerem, Simon Ratner, Jasson Arthur Schrock, Ran Tavory, Virginia Wang, Leora Wiseman, Shanmugavelayutham Muthukrishnan, Mihai Badoiu, Ankur Bhargava, Igor Kofman
