VIDEO NOTIFICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18156961 titled 'VIDEO NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
The abstract describes systems and methods for notifying users about videos in a playback sequence. The technology involves determining the availability of a video that meets a specific criterion on a video server associated with a messaging client. Once the video is available, the messaging client prefetches a sequence of videos from a recommendation engine that match the user's profile, and these videos are automatically played back in a sequence on a video playback GUI.
- The technology notifies users about available videos in a playback sequence.
- It determines the availability of specific videos on a video server.
- The messaging client prefetches a sequence of videos based on the user's profile.
- Videos are automatically played back in a sequence on a video playback GUI.
- Notifications are presented on the GUI to indicate the availability of specific videos.
- Potential Applications:
This technology can be applied in video streaming platforms, social media apps, and messaging services to enhance user engagement and provide personalized video recommendations.
- Problems Solved:
This technology addresses the challenge of notifying users about available videos in a playback sequence and provides a seamless viewing experience by automatically playing back recommended videos.
- Benefits:
- Improved user engagement - Personalized video recommendations - Seamless video playback experience
- Commercial Applications:
Title: Personalized Video Recommendation System for Streaming Platforms This technology can be utilized by video streaming platforms to enhance user experience, increase user retention, and drive user engagement through personalized video recommendations.
- Prior Art:
Prior art related to this technology may include research on video recommendation systems, user profiling for content recommendations, and automated video playback technologies.
- Frequently Updated Research:
Researchers are constantly exploring ways to improve video recommendation algorithms, enhance user profiling techniques, and optimize automated video playback systems for a more personalized viewing experience.
- Questions about Video Notification Technology:
1. How does this technology improve user engagement on video streaming platforms?
- This technology enhances user engagement by providing personalized video recommendations based on the user's profile, leading to a more tailored viewing experience.
2. What are the key features of the recommendation engine used in this technology?
- The recommendation engine matches the user's profile with a sequence of videos, prefetches them for playback, and ensures a seamless viewing experience on the video playback GUI.
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.
