Abstract

A program that combines the sequential union of segments of linear video with the interactive display of sets of static images arranged into a user rotatable scene. The linear video and interactive images are displayed on the same device screen space and have a seamless transition between them. This allows a user to watch a video, then upon completion of the video, the display space of the video becomes interactive and the user is able to navigate the display of a set of images seamlessly.

Description

A system combining non-interactive video content with statically embedded interactive images presented in the form of a navigable scene.
Background
It is often the case that sending a picture aids clearer communication ef a specific subject. This is highly evident on the internet where individuals and business use pictures to better communicate a subject. Depending on the complexity of the subject, it is not uncommon to have more than one picture of the subject from different angles to better highlight particular features or details. One drawback of multiple images is that the recipient often ends up flicking' between images to interpret the subject fully. This flicking' between images is extremely common on most websites that share images about a subject, of particular reference are auction, shopping and product news websites. Items/Products displayed on these types of sites often have multiple photographs from multiple angles.
Another method of capturing more detail of the subject is to create a video, of which one party can video the subject and the video file can be shared with the other party via some online platform. One drawback of this is the linear nature of the video file, i.e. in order to inspect the subject for longer than the first party has chosen to video it for, the recipient would need to pause the video at an exact point to properly view the subject.
Statement of Invention
What is proposed is a program that combines sequential segments of linear video interspersed with the display of sets of static images arranged into an interactive scene of images. The linear video segments and interactive image segments are displayed on the same device screen space and have a seamless transition between them. This allows a user to watch a video, then at a pre-designated point by the video creator, the display space of the video becomes interactive and the user is able to navigate the display of a set of hnages seamlessly.
Advantages This system has the advantage that it allows a viewer to watch an amount of linear video, (perhaps with a presenter explaining details of some new component) before being able to interact with the display of a set of images (showing in detail the new component and allowing the user to navigate around that component) presented directly and seamlessly after the video.
rihis invention has the advantage over a linear video as it enables the user to engage and interact with an interactive scene directly after a preceding video stream relating to the content of the
rotatable scene.
This invention has the advantage over a photograph as it captures many more angles which provides more detail and is interactive.
Preferably, the images should be extracted from the linear video.
Preferably, the images should be constructed such that they present a rotatable scene of the subject in the video.
Detailed Description
The program functions by extracting images from user specified segments of a linear video file.
These images are then optin ised and arranged so as to create an interactive scene. A detailed description of the invention is described by refening to Fig 1, Fig 2, Fig 3 (a) and Fig 3 (b) and the explanation below: Each item listed below corresponds to the number noted on Fig.l.
Item (1). A user interface is provided on a device, such as a tablet PC, mobile phone or desktop/laptop PC connected to an interconnected network which allows a user to upload a video file.
Item (2). On the same user interface, a user is prompted to enter some parameters about the video file.
Item (3). Upon user execution, an application on a server extracts images from the video file.
Item (4). Images extracted from (3) are then optimised for communication via an interconnected network.
Item (5). Simultaneously upon user execution, a video is extracted from the video file and optimised for commnnication via an interconnected network, pn)ducing the optimised video file(s).
Item (6). The results from (4) and (5) are then stored on an interconnected network server for retrieval.
Item (7). Upon a user wishing to view the optimised video file(s) on an interconnected network device such as a mobile phone, tablet PC or desktop/laptop PC a function is called to retrieve the optimised video file from the interconnected network server (6).
Item (8). The user interface loads a video media player into a designated display screen space (Fig 2) on the client device screen.
Item (9). Within the video media player, machine readable instructions are called to receive the optimised image data (4) from the interconnected network server (6).
Item (10). The video player (8) displays the optimised video file from the interconnected network server (6).
Item (11). When the video file gets to within a programmatically defined range of the end of the optimised video file (a trigger event), a function is called to escape the video display in (10). If this trigger event is not reached, the video file will continue playing until a trigger event is reached.
Item (12). If a trigger event has been reached the machine readable instructions (9) will he called, the machine readable instrucL.ions will now call the optimised set of images from (4) which are stored on an interconnected network server (6) and display them in the video media player screen space (8) (Fig 2) with a seamless transition. A user is free to interact with the display of set of images via the machine readable instructions which allows the user to instruct the interconnected network server which segment of an image, and which image they would like to view in the display screen space (Fig 2).
Item (13). The user will indicate that they wish to exit the viewing of the interactive set of images via the machine readable instructions.
Item (14). Upon exiting the interactive set of images a function is called that checks to see if there is another optimised video available defined in (2) and if so, repeats the process from (10) see Fig 3(b).
Item (15). If upon exiting the interactive display of sets of images there are no further optimised videos the user is shown options to see more videos see Fig 3(a).
Drawings The invention will now he described by considering to the following drawings.
Figure 1 -A block diagram of the upload and use process Figure 2-An illustration of the nature of the Display Screen Space.
Figure 3(a) and (h) -This shows how the sequential segments of linear video and the interactive display of images are presented as an individual sequence (a) and in more than one sequence (b).

Claims (4)

  1. Claims 1 A program that combines sequentially a segment of linear video with the interactive display of sets of static images, sharing the same screen space and having a seamless transition between them.
  2. 2 The static images according to claim 1 are derived from the linear video.
  3. 3 The static images according to claim 1 are displayed such they create an interactiverotatable scene.
  4. 4 The sequential segment of linear video followed by the display ef sets of static images according to claim 1 may be repeated.The linear video shares a similar final video frame as the first static image of the navigable scene.
