VIDEO NOTIFICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240251130 titled 'VIDEO NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes systems and methods for notifying users about videos in a playback sequence. When a video meeting a specific criterion is available on a video server associated with a messaging client, the client device prefetches a sequence of videos from a recommendation engine based on the user's profile. The videos are then automatically played back in the sequence on a video playback graphical user interface (GUI).

  • The system determines the availability of a specific video meeting a criterion on a video server.
  • The messaging client prefetches a sequence of videos from a recommendation engine based on the user's profile.
  • The videos are played back automatically in the sequence on a video playback GUI.
  • A notification is presented to the user when the specific video is in the first position in the sequence.

Key Features and Innovation: - Notification system for videos in a playback sequence - Prefetching videos based on user profile - Automatic playback on a GUI - Position-based notifications

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in video streaming platforms, social media apps, and entertainment services to enhance user experience by notifying them about relevant videos in a playback sequence.

Problems Solved: - Ensures users are notified about specific videos in a playback sequence - Improves user engagement by automatically playing recommended videos - Enhances user experience by personalizing video recommendations

Benefits: - Increased user engagement - Personalized video recommendations - Seamless video playback experience - Enhanced user satisfaction

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in video streaming platforms, social media apps, and entertainment services to attract and retain users by providing personalized and engaging video content.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system determine the criterion for selecting specific videos? 2. What measures are in place to ensure user privacy and data security in the recommendation engine?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in video recommendation algorithms and user engagement strategies to enhance the effectiveness of the technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods are provided for notifying users about videos in a playback sequence. the systems and methods determine that a video that meets a criterion is currently available on a video server associated with a messaging client. in response to determining that the video that meets the criterion is currently available, the messaging client on the client device prefetches a sequence of videos from a recommendation engine that match a profile of a user associated with the messaging client. the recommendation engine is being used to provide sequence of videos to a video playback graphical user interface (gui) that automatically plays back the videos in the sequence. the systems and methods determine that the video that meets the criterion is in a first position in the sequence of videos and, in response, present a notification that indicates the availability of the video on the video playback gui.
