DISPLAYING AN ACTIONABLE ELEMENT OVER PLAYING CONTENT
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- identifying video content currently playing within a display environment provided by a playback device;
determining, based on at least one fingerprint associated with the identified video content, that an area within the identified video content has a threshold low contrast between pixels; and
based on the determining that the area within the identified video content has a threshold low contrast between pixels, displaying an actionable element within the display environment over the area within the identified video content, wherein the actionable element is based on the identified video content and includes a user-selectable option to perform an action associated with the identified video content.

Abstract
Example methods and systems for displaying actionable elements over playing content, such as video content, are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems identify video content currently playing within a display environment provided by a playback device, and display an actionable element within the display environment provided by the playback device that is based on the identified video content and includes one or more user-selectable options to perform an action associated with the identified video content. Further, in some example embodiments, the methods and systems may perform an action (e.g., present supplemental content and/or information) in response to a selection of one or more of the user-selectable options.

20. A computing system configured for performing a set of acts comprising:
-
identifying video content currently playing within a display environment provided by a playback device; determining, based on at least one fingerprint associated with the identified video content, that an area within the identified video content has a threshold low contrast between pixels; and based on the determining that the area within the identified video content has a threshold low contrast between pixels, displaying an actionable element within the display environment over the area within the identified video content, wherein the actionable element is based on the identified video content and includes a user-selectable option to perform an action associated with the identified video content.
