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.

  • Processor displays an EPG on a client device and detects user selections related to media content items.
  • Identifies connected users and retrieves user identifications for generating requests.
  • Receives a playlist with media content item segments and associated avatars for each user.

Potential Applications: - Personalized media content recommendations based on user connections. - Enhanced user experience by incorporating avatars of connected users in media playlists.

Problems Solved: - Facilitates sharing and collaboration on media content consumption between connected users. - Improves user engagement and interaction with media content through personalized recommendations.

Benefits: - Strengthened user connections through shared media experiences. - Increased user satisfaction and enjoyment of media content through personalized playlists.

Commercial Applications: Title: Personalized Media Content Sharing Platform This technology can be utilized in streaming services, social media platforms, and communication apps to enhance user engagement and interaction with media content.
