SELECTING AVATARS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE VIDEO BEING GENERATED ON DEMAND - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187702 titled 'SELECTING AVATARS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE VIDEO BEING GENERATED ON DEMAND
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves a processor displaying an electronic program guide (EPG) on a first client device associated with a first user. The processor detects the selection of a selectable item in the EPG related to a media content item by the first user. It then identifies a second user connected to the first user on a communication platform, retrieves user identifications, and generates a request for the media content item including user identifications. The processor receives a playlist associated with the media content item, which includes avatars associated with both users.
