Commenting correlated to temporal point of video data
First Claim
1. A method for providing user comment data, by a client device, the method comprising:
- detecting an indication that a user is interested in adding the user comment data for audio/video content in a comment window;
outputting a comment placement window pointing to a progress indicator along a progress bar for the audio/video content during playback of audio/video content on an electronic display device of the client device, wherein the comment placement window estimates where the user comment data would be placed, the comment placement window is different from the comment window, the comment placement window previews where the user comment data will be placed, and the comment placement window changes position based on a location of the progress indicator;
receiving the user comment data in the comment window;
detecting a time that input of the user comment data is received during playback of audio/video content on the electronic display device, wherein detecting the time comprises;
detecting a lag time for the user to enter the user comment data; and
determining the time as an adjustment of the location along the progress bar based on the lag time;
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 an identifier 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.

11. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one processor configured for; detecting an indication that a user is interested in adding the user comment data for audio/video content in a comment window; outputting a comment placement window pointing to a progress indicator along a progress bar for the audio/video content during playback of audio/video content on an electronic display device of the client device, wherein the comment placement window estimates where the user comment data would be placed, the comment placement window is different from the comment window, the comment placement window previews where the user comment data will be placed, and the comment placement window changes position based on a location of the progress indicator; receiving the user comment data in the comment window; detecting a time that input of the user comment data is received during playback of audio/video content on the electronic display device, wherein detecting the time comprises; detecting a lag time for the user to enter the user comment data; and determining the time as an adjustment of the location along the progress bar based on the lag time; 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 an identifier for the audio/video content and the temporal point to a computer server; and a memory coupled to the at least one processor for storing data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product, comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code for causing a computer to; detect an indication that a user is interested in adding the user comment data for audio/video content in a comment window; output a comment placement window pointing to a progress indicator along a progress bar for the audio/video content during playback of audio/video content on an electronic display device of the client device, wherein the comment placement window estimates where the user comment data would be placed, the comment placement window is different from the comment window, the comment placement window previews where the user comment data will be placed, and the comment placement window changes position based on a location of the progress indicator; receive the user comment data in the comment window; detect a time that input of the user comment data is received during playback of audio/video content on the electronic display device, wherein detect the time comprises; detect a lag time for the user to enter the user comment data; and determine the time as an adjustment of the location along the progress bar based on the lag time; determine a temporal point relative to the playback of the audio/video content correlated to the user comment data, based on the time; and transmit the user comment data correlated to an identifier for the audio/video content and the temporal point to a computer server.

16. A method for providing a link to digital audio/video content responsive to user comment data, by a computer server, the method comprising:
-
determining an electronic transmission of user comment data from a source device, the user comment data correlated to identifiers for audio/video content and a post-inception temporal point in the audio/video content that is detected using a comment placement window that previewed where the user comment data would be placed and a lag time for a user to enter the user comment data, and the post-inception temporal point is determined as an adjustment of a location of a progress indicator along a progress bar based on the lag time; configuring a link to the audio/video content including an indication of the post-inception temporal point; and providing the user comment data with the link to a website host for publication on a website, wherein the website includes the user comment data in a comment placement window located proximate to a progress bar during playing the audio/video content and pointing to a progress indicator along the progress bar based on the post-inception temporal point in the audio/video content. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
