PRESENTING CONTENT ITEMS AND PERFORMING ACTIONS WITH RESPECT TO CONTENT ITEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18477402 titled 'PRESENTING CONTENT ITEMS AND PERFORMING ACTIONS WITH RESPECT TO CONTENT ITEMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for presenting content items in a content sharing platform. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves receiving a first content item from a first user device, which references an additional content item through actions performed by the first user on their device.
  • When a second user requests the first content item from the content sharing platform, a graphical user interface (GUI) is provided on their device.
  • The GUI includes a first portion to display the first content item and a second portion to present the additional content item.
  • The actions performed by the first user on their device during playback of the first content item are replicated in the GUI of the second user device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Content sharing platforms: This method can be implemented in platforms like social media, video streaming services, or online communities to enhance the presentation of content items and provide a more interactive user experience.
  • Collaborative storytelling: Users can create interactive narratives where actions performed by one user influence the content presented to other users, allowing for collaborative storytelling experiences.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enhanced content presentation: This method allows for a more engaging and interactive presentation of content items by linking them to additional content items and replicating user actions.
  • Improved user experience: By providing a GUI with multiple portions to display and present content, users can easily access related content and have a more immersive experience.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased user engagement: The interactive nature of the method encourages users to explore additional content items and actively participate in the content sharing platform.
  • Enhanced content discovery: Users can discover related content items through the actions performed by other users, leading to a more personalized and diverse content experience.
  • Collaborative storytelling opportunities: The method enables users to collaboratively create and share narratives by influencing the content presented to others, fostering creativity and community engagement.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for presenting content items includes receiving a first content item from a first user device of a first user of a content sharing platform. The first content item references an additional content item through one or more actions performed by the first user on the first user device. In response to a subsequent request of a second user of the content sharing platform for the first content item hosted by the content sharing platform, providing, for display in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a second user device of the second user, a first GUI portion to display the first content item and a second GUI portion to present the additional content item. The one or more actions are caused to be performed in the GUI of the second user device during a playback of the first content item.
