Second screen locations function

摘要

Systems for, and methods of, displaying video information comprising: a second screen device obtaining current play position data of a video being played on a primary screen device (e.g., obtaining from the primary screen device an identification of a current play position of the video, or obtaining information to generate an acoustic fingerprint of the video); determining a current play position of the video playing on the primary screen device based upon the current play position data (e.g., identification of the current play position or the acoustic fingerprint); downloading information (e.g., video map, subtitles, moral principles, objectionable content, memorable content, performers, geographical maps, shopping, plot point, item, ratings, and trivia information) over a computer communications network into the memory of the second screen device; and displaying information on the second screen device synchronized with the contemporaneously played video on the primary screen device.

主权项

1. A video information display method comprising: receiving, on a second screen device, synchronizing information that is responsive to a playing of a video on a primary screen device; establishing, responsive to the synchronizing information, a synchronization to the playing of the video; retrieving geographic map data comprising an identification of a heading and a pitch, a write-up, and an actual locale identity, each corresponding to a locale depicted within the video; utilizing the geographic map data to enable a display of multiple geographic map views each corresponding to the locale depicted within the video, each of the geographic map views providing a different perspective and individual navigation; and displaying, at a same time on the second screen device, the multiple geographic map views, the write-up, and the actual locale identity, responsive to a time period offset synchronization to the video playing on the primary screen device, the time period offset synchronization being responsive to a user's time period offset preference, whereby the display of multiple geographic map views on the second screen device lags a playing, on the primary screen device, of the corresponding locale depicted within the video.
