SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTION BETWEEN TOUCH POINTS ON A GRAPHICAL DISPLAY

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention described herein generally relate to systems, methods and computer program products for tracking and reacting to touch events that a user generates when viewing a video. In particular, the embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods and computer program products for defining objects that enter and leave a video scene, as well as move within the video scene as a function of time. Embodiments of the invention further relate to systems, methods and computer program products for tracking and reacting to users who generate events through the selection of objects while viewing the video scene, which can be in the form of a video stream or file, as well as reacting to or further processing such events.

主权项

1. A method for tracking and reacting to touch events that a user generates when viewing a video, the method comprising:
receiving the video at a video player on a client device, the video player under the control of a processor at a client device; processing object data by the processor at the client device to identify the presence and placement of one or more objects that corresponds to items in the video; rendering video at the client device by the video player under control of the processor; receiving touch coordinates and a time that correspond to a touch made by the user on an object that corresponds to an item in the video; cross-referencing the touch coordinates with the object data; and recording a touch on the object where the touch coordinates and the time are successfully cross-referenced with the object data.
