Abstract

A system comprising a remote video provider and a device; the device, capable of processing data and instructions executable by a processor, when executing the instructions, performs the steps of: streaming, from the remote video provider and over a communications network, a video; receiving, during a playing of the video, a request for information; pausing the playing of the video in response to the request for information; displaying information responsive to the request for information; and resuming, following a termination of the displaying of information, the playing of the video at a location in the video that (i) precedes a location at which the video was paused, and (ii) is responsive to a beginning of a video segment.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising a remote video provider and a device; the device, capable of processing data and instructions executable by a processor, when executing the instructions, performs the steps of:
 streaming, from the remote video provider and over a communications network, a video;   receiving, during a playing of the video, a request for information;   pausing the playing of the video in response to the request for information;   displaying information responsive to the request for information; and   resuming, following a termination of the displaying of information, the playing of the video at a location in the video that (i) precedes a location at which the video was paused, and (ii) is responsive to a beginning of a video segment.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the communications network comprises a cellular network. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the device is a smartphone. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the request for information is a user request for information. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the resuming automatically resumes immediately following a termination of the displaying of information. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the video segment is defined responsive to a depiction of a noteworthy item. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the beginning of a video segment is a beginning of a clip of the video, the clip of the video being smaller than, and within, a scene of the video. 
     
     
         8 . A device capable of processing data and instructions executable by a processor; the device, when executing the instructions, performs the steps of:
 streaming, from a remote video provider and over a communications network, a video;   receiving, during a playing of the video, a request for information;   pausing the playing of the video in response to the request for information;   displaying information responsive to the request for information; and   resuming, following a termination of the displaying of information, the playing of the video at a location in the video that (i) precedes a location at which the video was paused, and (ii) is responsive to a beginning of a video segment.   
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the communications network comprises a cellular network. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the device is a smartphone. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the request for information is a user request for information. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the resuming automatically resumes immediately following a termination of the displaying of information. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the video segment is defined responsive to a depiction of a noteworthy item. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the beginning of a video segment is a beginning of a clip of the video, the clip of the video being smaller than, and within, a scene of the video. 
     
     
         15 . A method comprising the steps of:
 streaming, from a remote video provider and over a communications network, a video;   receiving, during a playing of the video, a request for information;   pausing the playing of the video in response to the request for information;   displaying information responsive to the request for information; and   resuming, following a termination of the displaying of information, the playing of the video at a location in the video that (i) precedes a location at which the video was paused, and (ii) is responsive to a beginning of a video segment.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the device is a smartphone. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the request for information is a user request for information. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the resuming automatically resumes immediately following a termination of the displaying of information. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the video segment is defined responsive to a depiction of a noteworthy item. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the beginning of a video segment is a beginning of a clip of the video, the clip of the video being smaller than, and within, a scene of the video.
