Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:
 a processing system including a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations comprising:   identifying a first object depicted in a frame of a video stream, wherein the frame includes a first portion of product website information;   performing, while a presentation of the video stream has been paused, a search of an image displayed in the frame to identify a second object depicted in the frame related to the first object,   determining a second portion of product website information related to the first object or to the second object;   activating, while the presentation of the video stream has been paused, a selectable portion of the frame corresponding to the first object or to the second object to provide access to product website information, wherein selection of the selectable portion results in a selected object; and   responsive to obtaining an indication of a selection of the selectable portion of the frame, determining selected product website information from the first portion of the product website information or the second portion of the product website information, wherein access to a website associated with the selected object and the selected product website information is only active after the presentation of the video stream has been paused.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a mobile device, and wherein the video stream is presented on a display screen of the mobile device. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving an indication of a first user-generated input to pause the presentation of the video stream, wherein the mobile device pauses the presentation of the video stream to display the frame responsive to the first user-generated input. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the operations further comprise accessing a database comprising connections between objects and website links while the video stream is presented at the mobile device. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving an indication of a second user-generated input indicating the selection of the selectable portion of the frame. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the device comprises a mobile device including a display screen, and wherein the second user-generated input comprises a voice input, a touch input via the display screen, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the selected product website information is determined responsive to the second user-generated input, and wherein the selected product website information comprises purchase information. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise accessing an account of a user from a service provider to complete a purchase according to the purchase information. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise buffering the video stream while the presentation of the video stream is paused. 
     
     
         10 . A method comprising:
 identifying, by a processing system including a processor of a mobile device, a first object depicted in a frame of a video stream, wherein the frame includes a first portion of product website information;   performing, by the processing system while a presentation of the video stream has been paused, a search of an image displayed in the frame to identify a second object depicted in the frame related to the first object,   determining, by the processing system, a second portion of product website information related to the first object or to the second object;   activating, by the processing system while the presentation of the video stream has been paused, a selectable portion of the frame corresponding to the first object or to the second object to provide access to product website information, wherein selection of the selectable portion results in a selected object; and   responsive to obtaining an indication of a selection of the selectable portion of the frame, determining, by the processing system, selected product website information from the first portion of the product website information or the second portion of the product website information, wherein access to a website associated with the selected object and the selected product website information is only active after the presentation of the video stream has been paused.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the video stream is presented on a display screen of the mobile device. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising receiving, by the processing system, an indication of a first user-generated input to pause the presentation of the video stream, wherein the mobile device pauses the presentation of the video stream to display the frame responsive to the first user-generated input. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising accessing, by the processing system, a database comprising connections between objects and website links while the video stream is presented at the mobile device. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising receiving, by the processing system, an indication of a second user-generated input indicating the selection of the selectable portion of the frame. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the second user-generated input comprises a voice input, a touch input via the display screen, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the selected product website information is determined responsive to the second user-generated input, wherein the selected product website information comprises purchase information, and further comprising accessing, by the processing system, an account of a user from a service provider to complete a purchase according to the purchase information. 
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
 identifying a first object depicted in a frame of a video stream, wherein the video stream is presented at a display of the processing system, wherein the frame includes a first portion of product website information;   performing, while a presentation of the video stream has been paused, a search of an image displayed in the frame to identify a second object depicted in the frame related to the first object,   determining a second portion of product website information related to the first object or to the second object;   activating, while the presentation of the video stream has been paused, a selectable portion of the frame corresponding to the first object or to the second object to provide access to product website information, wherein selection of the selectable portion results in a selected object; and   responsive to obtaining an indication of a selection of the selectable portion of the frame, determining selected product website information from the first portion of the product website information or the second portion of the product website information, wherein access to a website associated with the selected object and the selected product website information is only active after the presentation of the video stream has been paused.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the processing system comprises a mobile device. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving an indication of a first user-generated input to pause the presentation of the video stream, wherein the mobile device pauses the presentation of the video stream to display the frame responsive to the first user-generated input.
