  • Patent number: 10872193
    Abstract: A publishing system generates and provides webpage data to a client device via a network in response to a request from the client device for experiencing primary media content. The webpage data includes a primary media presentation interface to reproduce the primary media content, and a secondary media presentation interface to present secondary media content having a predefined correspondence with the primary media content. The secondary media presentation interface presents the secondary media content when a predefined time point is reached during reproduction of the primary media content.

  • Patent number: 9928397
    Abstract: A method for identifying a target object in a video file is implemented using an identification system. In the method, the identification system is programmed to: obtain a video file and an image; obtain a target object in the image; construct an image model based on a feature of the target object; extract key frames from the video file sequentially; perform a comparing procedure for each key frame to determine whether the key frame includes a similar object corresponding to the image model; and for each key frame, extract from the key frame, when the determination is affirmative, a part of the key frame that contains the similar object to obtain a target image, presence of the target image indicating that the target object is identified in the video file.

  • Publication number: 20170024097
    Abstract: A method for creating a composite media file includes: receiving a first command directed to a primary media file; retrieving the primary media file based on the first command; receiving a second command directed to a secondary media file, the second command including at least one designated time instance associated with the primary media file; retrieving the secondary media file based on the second command; and creating a composite media file that incorporates the primary media file and the secondary media file. The composite media file is created in such a manner that when played, the secondary media file is displayed simultaneously with and separately with respect to the primary media file at the designated time instance.

  • Patent number: 9482546
    Abstract: A method for providing route information is to be implemented by a system coupled to an electronic device. In the method, the system is programmed to: provide an online video-playing interface including a first frame that displays primary video media, and a second frame that displays secondary information media, which is visually recognizable and associated with the primary video media; obtain, upon receipt of a trigger signal associated with selection of the secondary information media, a current location of the electronic device and a destination location associated with the secondary information media; and plan a route from the current location to the destination location, and transmit the route to the electronic device for display.

  • Publication number: 20130318430
    Abstract: A method for creating and publishing an electronic publication is to be implemented using a publishing system configured to provide a user-operating webpage incorporated with a client interface to a client-end device communicating with the publishing system. In the method, the publishing system is configured to receive at least one data packet that is uploaded from the client-end device, to convert the data packet into an electronic publication, to store the electronic publication, and to generate a browsing interface that is associated with the electronic publication. The browsing interface is embedded within a browsing webpage.
