  • Online video distribution
    Patent number: 9934822
    Abstract: Online video can now be supplied with hyperlinks that are associated with and move with objects in the video. However, online video players tend not to report an accurate frame number, and this results in poor synchronisation of the movement of the hyperlink and the object. We propose that a subset of the pixels in the frame be used to encode a numeric frame identifier.

  • Online video distribution
    Patent number: 9207841
    Abstract: A video player for tagged online video includes a means for receiving a stream of video data and tag data. The tag data includes tag details including for each tag a link to display during video playback and a location at which to display the link. A video display output displays the video data, a user-selectable tag display GUI option, and selectively, the tag data. The video player is adapted to detect a selection of one of at least a first and a second option via the user-selectable tag display GUI option.
