COGNITIVE VIDEO SCROLLING VIEWER INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17947229 titled 'COGNITIVE VIDEO SCROLLING VIEWER INTERFACE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for recording and presenting a training video for a software component. Here are the key points explained in bullet form:

• The method involves displaying the video recording, which includes a display element of the software component and recorder user interface (UI) input activity data at a specific time.
• Viewer UI actions from the viewing device are received and converted to viewer UI input activity data based on interactions with the display element.
• First viewer activity data is determined at a time that corresponds to the recorder user interface input activity data time, but may differ.
• The video recording is then adjusted to align the viewer activity data with the recorder activity data.

Original Abstract Submitted

A system and method are used to record and present a training video for a software component. The method displays the video recording. The video recording comprises: a display element of the software component, and first recorder activity data (FRAD) of recorder user interface (UI) input activity data (RUIIAD) at a FRAD time with video frame data of the video recording. The method further comprises receiving, during the displaying, viewer UI actions from a UI of the viewing device and converting them to viewer UI input activity data based on viewer interactions with the display element of the software component. Then, first viewer activity data (FVAD) is determined at a FVAD time of the video frame that corresponds to the FRAD, where the FRAD time and the FVAD time differ. Responsive to the determining, the method moves the video recording from the FVAD time to the FRAD time.
