  • Patent number: 11880423
    Abstract: Techniques for video manipulation based on machine learned video curating are disclosed. Web page content is loaded, where the content includes a frame for short-form videos. The content of the web page is analyzed for textual information. A short-form video server is accessed. Short-form videos are selected from the short-form video server, where the selecting includes automatically curating the short-form videos. Adaptive learning is used for the selecting, based on a user's web page behavior. The adaptive learning includes collecting the user's web page behavior before the selecting. Automatic curating includes selecting, by a neural network, a subset of short-form videos appropriate for the web page. The web page frame is populated with the short-form videos obtained from the video server. Representations of the short-form videos are displayed within the frame on the web page. The short-form videos are auto played within the frame.

  • Publication number: 20230032373
    Abstract: Techniques for display using a video stream interface based on third-party webpage information are disclosed. Information on one or more products is obtained from a website by a third party. The one or more products comprise a product, a service, a coupon, or a membership. A video about the one or more products is rendered by a video user interface to a user. The video user interface comprises a video player in combination with a user interface. The video user interface and the third party are interfaced between each other based on a user interaction with the video user interface. Product information is fetched from a server based on the interfacing between the video user interface and the third party. Further product information comprises a reaction, a chat, a transaction, a promotion, and an interaction. The video is augmented with further information based on the fetching.

  • Publication number: 20220394345
    Abstract: Techniques for display using frame and child frame technology for video and webpage rendering are disclosed. A video stream is received. The video stream is displayed as a video in a window on a device display along with a link. The link includes a webpage uniform resource locator (URL). A selection of the link made by a user is received. The selection is made in response to a call to action. The video is rendered along with results of the link that was selected. Rendering of the results of the link includes a webpage associated with the webpage URL. The user can interact with the webpage while the video is being rendered. The video is reduced to render the video as a reduced video on a portion of the device display. The rendering the reduced video and webpage is accomplished without a popup window.

  • Publication number: 20220317866
    Abstract: Techniques for display based on inline frame-based video rendering within browser are disclosed. A plurality of short-form videos is obtained. Thumbnails of one or more short-form videos, from the plurality of short-form videos, are displayed. The displaying thumbnails occurs within a frame on a third-party webpage within a browser window. A user's selection of a video from the short-form videos is received. The video that was selected by a user is reduced. The reducing the video enables the video to be rendered in a portion of the browser window. The reducing the video to render the video in a portion of the browser window includes launching a reloaded version of the third-party webpage to render the video superimposed over the third-party webpage. The video that was reduced is rendered, along with a reloaded copy of the third-party webpage, in the browser window.
