SYNCRONIZATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL DIGITAL CONTENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for synchronizing primary digital content and supplemental digital content, comprising:
- timing the supplemental digital content to a long-form version of the primary digital content;
creating a long-form timing script interpretable by a machine to create supplemental content triggers timed to the long-form version of the primary digital content;
scheduling provision of a linearized program feed comprising the long-form version and pods populated with pod content;
creating a broadcast schedule for the linearized program feed; and
creating a linearized content script based upon the broadcast schedule, the long-form timing script, or both, wherein the linearized content script times the supplemental content triggers of the long-form timing script to the scheduled linearized program feed.

Abstract
Supplemental digital content is provided to be played in synchronization with primary digital content on a media device, such as a television, handheld device, smart phone, computer, and so forth. The supplemental digital content is timed to a long-form version of the primary content and is then synchronized based upon a linearized content (e.g., broadcast) schedule of the long-form content with populated pods.

7. A system for synchronizing digital content, comprising:
-
primary content playback circuitry configured to present a linearized program feed of primary digital content; supplemental content playback circuitry configured to present supplemental content associated with the linearized program feed of primary digital content; a linearized content script that times particular trigger points for supplemental content events to a scheduled broadcast of the linearized program feed of primary digital content, wherein the linearized content script is generated based upon a long-form timing script that times the particular trigger points to a long-form version of the primary digital content; and a sequencing component configured to trigger presentation of the supplemental content based upon the linearized content script. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
