Platform for providing interactive applications on a digital content platform
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating the rendering of third-party in-image applications in connection with images published on webpages, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a webpage publisher with software code for insertion into a webpage, wherein the software code, when executed, functions to identify an image that has been published on the webpage and submit the image to a service provider'"'"'s computer system;
the service provider'"'"'s computer system performing the steps of(b) assigning an image key to the image;
(c) processing the image through an image tagging engine, wherein the image tagging engine tags the image with one or more contextual tags based on the content within the image;
(d) maintaining an image data repository, wherein the one or more contextual tags are indexed by the image key;
(e) providing the webpage publisher with the image key for linking to the published image;
(f) providing the webpage publisher with an in-image application interface;
(g) enabling one or more third-party in-image applications based on the one or more contextual tags;
(h) receiving a data request from an enabled in-image application, upon user-activation of the enabled in-image application, wherein the data request includes the image key;
(i) conducting a data search of the image data repository based on the image key; and
(j) providing the one or more contextual tags, responsive to the data request, for rendering of the enabled and user-activated third-party in-image application, wherein the third-party in-image application uses the contextual tags to perform its respective function.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing interactive applications. In one embodiment, the systems and methods may include: (a) identifying digital content published on digital content platforms (e.g., images published on webpages); (b) assigning a key to the digital content; and (c) processing the digital content through a tagging engine (e.g., a crowdsource network) to tag the content with contextual data. The systems and methods may further include: (d) maintaining a data repository, wherein the content and respective data are indexed by corresponding key; (e) receiving a data request from an enabled application, upon user-activation of the application, wherein the data request includes the key; (f) conducting a data search of the data repository based on the key; and (g) providing the content data, responsive to the data request, for rendering of the enabled and user-activated application.

4. A computer-implemented system for facilitating the rendering of third-party in-image applications on one or more digital content platforms, the system comprising:
-
(a) an image identification interface which identifies digital images published on one or more digital content platforms; (b) an image tagging engine which tags images with contextual tags based on the content within the image; (c) an image data repository storing the contextual tags linked to respective digital images, wherein the digital images are indexed by an image key; and (d) an in-image application interface which;
(1) receives a data request from an enabled third-party in-image application, upon user-activation of the enabled third-party in-image application, wherein the data request includes the image key, (2) conducts a data search of the image data repository based on the image key, and (3) provides image data, responsive to the data request, for rendering of the enabled and user-activated third-party in-image application, wherein the third-party in-image application uses the image data to perform its respective function. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for facilitating the rendering of third-party in-image applications in connection with images published on webpages, comprising:
-
instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to (a) receive identification of an image that has been published on a webpage; (b) assign an image key to the image; (c) process the image through an image tagging engine, wherein the image tagging engine tags the image with one or more contextual tags based on the content within the image; (d) store the one or more contextual tags, indexed by the image key, in an image data repository; (e) receive a data request from an enabled third-party in-image application, upon user-activation of the enabled third-party in-image application, wherein the data request includes the image key; (f) conduct a data search of the image data repository based on the image key; and (g) provide the one or more contextual tags, responsive to the data request, for rendering of the enabled and user-activated third-party in-image application, wherein the third-party in-image application uses the contextual tags to perform its respective function. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for facilitating the rendering of one or more third-party in-image applications in connection with an image published on a webpage, comprising:
-
instructions executable by at least one processing device that, when executed, cause the processing device to (a) receive identification of an image that has been published on a webpage; (b) submit the image to an image tagging engine to identify contextual data for the image; (c) receive a request for the contextual data, from a third-party in-image application, upon user-activation of the third-party in-image application; and (d) provide the contextual data, responsive to the request, for rendering of the user-activated third-party in-image application on the webpage, wherein the third-party in-image application uses the contextual data to perform its respective function. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
