Abstract

A computer readable storage medium has stored thereon a prerecorded video experience container. The prerecorded video experience container includes a prerecorded video file that displays visual content, an executable experience which upon execution enables presentation of additional content associated with the prerecorded video file, and an interactive region of the prerecorded video file, wherein the interactive region of the prerecorded video file is associated with the executable experience such that a user interaction with the interactive region executes the executable experience. The prerecorded video file is displayed in response to a selection of the prerecorded video experience container. The executable experience associated with the prerecorded video file is executed in response to identifying an interaction with the interactive region. The additional content associated with the prerecorded video file is displayed in response to executing the executable experience.

a second executable experience associated with the prerecorded video file, wherein the second executable experience upon execution enables presentation of second additional content associated with the prerecorded video file;

at least one customization factor associated with the first executable experience and the second executable experience, wherein the at least one customization factor customizes the first additional content and the second additional content, the customization factor comprising a first time period for execution of the first executable experience and a second time period for execution of the second executable experience; and

an interactive region of the prerecorded video file, wherein the interactive region of the prerecorded video file is associated with the first executable experience and the second executable experience such that a user interaction with the interactive region executes one of the first executable experience and the second executable experience based on a time of day of the user interaction, such that a user interaction at a time of day within the first time period executes the first executable experience and a user interaction at a time of day within the second time period executes the second executable experience; and

a processor coupled with the display device and the computer readable storage medium, the processor configured to;

display, on the display device, the prerecorded video file of the prerecorded video experience container in response to a selection of the prerecorded video experience container;

execute one of the first executable experience and the second executable experience associated with the prerecorded video file in response to identifying an interaction with the interactive region and based on a time of day of the interaction; and

display, on the display device, one of the first additional content and the second additional content associated with the prerecorded video file in response to executing one of the first executable experience and the second executable experience.

2. The computer system of claim 1, wherein the prerecorded video file is a short form looping prerecorded video file.

3. The computer system of claim 1, wherein the first executable experience comprises an application.

4. The computer system of claim 1, wherein the first executable experience comprises a media file.

5. The computer system of claim 1, wherein the first executable experience comprises an instruction for executing an application stored on the computer readable storage medium of the computer system.

6. The computer system of claim 1, the prerecorded video experience container further comprising:

a third executable experience associated with the prerecorded video file, wherein the third executable experience upon execution enables presentation of third additional content associated with the prerecorded video file.

7. The computer system of claim 6, the prerecorded video experience container further comprising:

a second interactive region of the prerecorded video file, wherein the second interactive region of the prerecorded video file is associated with the third executable experience such that a user interaction with the second interactive region executes the third executable experience.

8. The computer system of claim 1, wherein the at least one customization factor comprises at least one of:

a location, a user, and a date.

9. The computer system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

access a user profile of a user operating the computer system; and

customize the display of the first additional content and the second additional content according to the user profile of the user operating the computer system.

10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code stored thereon for causing a computer system to perform a method for creating a prerecorded video experience container, the method comprising:

receiving a prerecorded video file that displays visual content;

receiving a first executable experience associated with the prerecorded video file, wherein the first executable experience upon execution enables presentation of first additional content associated with the prerecorded video file;

receiving a second executable experience associated with the prerecorded video file, wherein the second executable experience upon execution enables presentation of second additional content associated with the prerecorded video file;

receiving at least one customization factor associated with the first executable experience and the second executable experience, wherein the at least one customization factor customizes the first additional content and the second additional content, the customization factor comprising a first location for execution of the first executable experience and a second location for execution of the second executable experience;

receiving an identification of an interactive region of the prerecorded video file, wherein the interactive region of the prerecorded video file is associated with the first executable experience and the second executable experience such that a user interaction with the interactive region executes one of the first executable experience and the second executable experience based on a location at a time of the user interaction; and

assembling the prerecorded video file, the first executable experience, the second executable experience, the at least one customization factor, and the interactive region, into a prerecorded video experience container, wherein the prerecorded video experience container, when executed at an electronic device, displays the prerecorded video file and, responsive to identifying an interaction with the interactive region and based on a location at a time of the user interaction, executes one of the first executable experience and the second executable experience.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the prerecorded video file is a short form looping prerecorded video file.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the first executable experience comprises an application.

13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the first executable experience comprises a media file.

14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the first executable experience comprises an instruction for executing an application located on the electronic device.

15. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10, the method further comprising:

receiving a third executable experience associated with the prerecorded video file, wherein the third executable experience upon execution enables presentation of third additional content associated with the prerecorded video file, and wherein the prerecorded video experience container further comprises the third executable experience.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, the method further comprising:

receiving an identification of a second interactive region of the prerecorded video file, wherein the second interactive region of the prerecorded video file is associated with the third executable experience such that a user interaction with the second interactive region executes the third executable experience.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the at least one customization factor comprises at least one of:
