Abstract

Methods, systems, and processor-readable media for selecting a region within a particular frame of video content to access additional information about an area of interest associated with the region within the particular frame, and displaying the additional information, in response to selecting the region associated with the particular frame of video content to access the additional information about the area of interest associated with the region within the particular frame. A selection packed can be generated, which includes frame selection data associated with the particular frame of video content. The frame selection data can include data that is sufficient to identify the particular frame of video content.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method, comprising:
 selecting a region within a particular frame of video content to access additional information about an area of interest associated with said region within said particular frame; and   displaying said additional information, in response to selecting said region associated with said particular frame of video content to access said additional information about said area of interest associated with said region within said particular frame.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising generating a selection packet that includes frame selection data associated with said particular frame of video content. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2  wherein said frame selection data comprises data that is sufficient to identify said particular frame of video content. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising detecting said region. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising accessing said additional information from an annotated content stream. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising initially storing said additional information in an annotation database. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said region within said particular frame of said video content comprises a coordinate. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said region within said particular frame of said video content comprises a plurality of coordinates. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said region within said particular frame of said video content comprises data indicative of a particular region. 
     
     
         10 . A system, comprising:
 a processor; and   a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for:
 selecting a region within a particular frame of video content to access additional information about an area of interest associated with said region within said particular frame; and 
 displaying said additional information, in response to selecting said region associated with said particular frame of video content to access said additional information about said area of interest associated with said region within said particular frame. 
   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10  wherein said instructions are further configured for generating a selection packet that includes frame selection data associated with said particular frame of video content. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11  wherein said frame selection data comprises data that is sufficient to identify said particular frame of video content. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10  wherein said instructions are further configured for detecting said region. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 10  wherein said instructions are further configured for accessing said additional information from an annotated content stream. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 10  wherein said instructions are further configured for initially storing said additional information in an annotation database. 
     
     
         16 . A processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process, said code comprising code to:
 select a region within a particular frame of video content to access additional information about an area of interest associated with said region within said particular frame; and   display said additional information, in response to selecting said region associated with said particular frame of video content to access said additional information about said area of interest associated with said region within said particular frame.   
     
     
         17 . The processor-readable medium of  claim 16  wherein said code further comprises code to generate a selection packet that includes frame selection data associated with said particular frame of video content. 
     
     
         18 . The processor-readable medium of  claim 17  wherein said frame selection data comprises data that is sufficient to identify said particular frame of video content. 
     
     
         19 . The processor-readable medium of  claim 16  wherein said code further comprises code to detect said region. 
     
     
         20 . The processor-readable medium of  claim 16  wherein said code further comprises code to:
 access said additional information from an annotated content stream; and 
 store said additional information in an annotation database.
