Commenting Correlated To Temporal Point Of Video Data
First Claim
1. A method for providing user comment data correlated to a temporal point in playback of audio/video content, by a client device, the method comprising:
- detecting a time that input of user comment data is received during playback of audio/video content on an electronic display device;
determining a temporal point relative to the playback of the audio/video content correlated to the user comment data, based on the time; and
transmitting the user comment data correlated to identifiers for the audio-video content and the temporal point to a computer server.

Abstract
Commenting tied to user-selected times during play of audio/video content is enabled by a computer system. An apparatus detects a time that input of user comment data is received during playback of audio/video content on an electronic display device. The apparatus determines a temporal point relative to the playback of the audio/video content correlated to the user comment data, based on the time. The apparatus transmits the user comment data correlated to identifiers for the audio-video content and the temporal point to a computer server. The server may configure the video data for publishing on a website so that the comment data is displayed for a limited period based on the temporal point. Users may thereby conveniently record audio or textual comments that are output during subsequent play of the audio/video content, for sharing with friends and others.
