Definitions

  • Fig. 4 is a block diagram of a Web page showing movies that may be selected for presentation during a video/chat session.
  • Chat and video is routed to/from the clients through server 12.
  • server 12 to associate the chat and video, and also to synchronize the video presentation at the clients.
  • the video is displayed at (at least some of) the clients at substantially the same time. This feature enables participants in the chat to have the same frame of reference when discussing the video (via the chat).
  • the video may be synchronized in a number of different ways. Multiple clients may download a video clip prior to a scheduled presentation of the movie, and then server 12 may send a signal to the clients to begin presentation of the video clip at the same time.
  • server 12 may react in different ways depending on whether server 12 determines that the amount by which the client is falling behind will affect presentation of the video on the client (e.g., cause that client to be out of synch with the other clients). Server 12 may simply ignore the problem or it may send the client a message indicating that the client can no longer participate in the video, but may continue to participate in the chat. Alternatively, server 12 may permit the client to download a degraded form of the video (e.g., keyframes). Server 12 may notify the client and request confirmation that this is acceptable, or it may simply take action without requesting confirmation from the client.
  • server 12 may react in different ways depending on whether server 12 determines that the amount by which the client is falling behind will affect presentation of the video on the client (e.g., cause that client to be out of synch with the other clients). Server 12 may simply ignore the problem or it may send the client a message indicating that the client can no longer participate in the video, but may continue to participate in the chat. Alternatively, server 12 may permit the client to download
  • the video/chat system may also be used as a date screening tool. For example, a user may invite any number of dates to a video/chat session, and then eliminate individuals as the video and chat progress. For example, a different individual may be eliminated every ten minutes by the user if the user determines that the individual is not a suitable date. The system may prompt the user to eliminate an individual at predefined time periods or the user may simply eliminate others as desired.
  • the UI may include an animated avatar, which acts as a virtual usher to escort the eliminated individual from the video/chat session. The avatar may be visible to the user or to everyone involved with the session, and may take a form that is selected by the user beforehand.
  • server 12 makes the video available (90e) to the maximum number of users over the one or more computer networks, such as the Internet, as explained above.
  • Method steps associated with the processes can be performed by one or more programmable processors executing one or more computer programs to perform the functions of the processes.
  • the method can also be performed by, and the processes can be implemented as, special purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (field programmable gate array) and/or an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit).
  • FPGA field programmable gate array
  • ASIC application-specific integrated circuit
