Abstract

Systems and methods for providing adaptive and responsive media are disclosed. In various implementations, a video for playback is received at a user device having a plurality of associated properties. Based on at least one of the properties, a first state of the video is configured, and the video is presented according to the first state. During playback of the video, a change in one of the device properties is detected, and the video is seamlessly transitioned to a second state based on the change.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

identifying one or more properties associated with a user device;

receiving a video for playback on the user device;

configuring a first state of the video based on at least one of the properties associated with the user device;

presenting the video according to the first state; and

during playback of the video;

determining that a change in at least one of the properties associated with the user device has occurred;

seamlessly transitioning the video to a second state based on the change.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the properties are selected from the group consisting of physical orientation, model, physical screen size, screen resolution, and window size.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein configuring the first state of the video comprises at least one of setting which video content to play and setting which audio content to play.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein configuring the first state of the video comprises at least one of setting a dimensional ratio of the video and setting a quality of the video.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein configuring the first state of the video comprises setting a viewing region of the video to a partial area of the video.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving simultaneously a plurality of videos, and wherein seamlessly transitioning the video to the second state comprises seamlessly transitioning from a first one of the videos to a second one of the videos.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a plurality of videos associated with a particular one of the properties, wherein each video is associated with a different value of the particular property, wherein the determining comprises determining that a change in the particular property has occurred, and wherein the transitioning comprises transitioning the video to a second one of the videos, wherein the second one of the videos is associated with a value to which the particular property changed.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein seamlessly transitioning the video to a second state comprises changing at least one of video content playback and audio content playback.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein seamlessly transitioning the video to a second state comprises changing at least one of a dimensional ratio of the video and a quality of the video.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein seamlessly transitioning the video to a second state comprises modifying at least one of a position, a shape, and a size of a viewing region of the video.

11. A system comprising:

at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions;

at least one processor for executing the instructions storing on the memory, wherein execution of the instructions programs to at least one processor to perform operations comprising;

identifying one or more properties associated with a user device;

receiving a video for playback on the user device;

configuring a first state of the video based on at least one of the properties associated with the user device;

presenting the video according to the first state; and

during playback of the video;

determining that a change in at least one of the properties associated with the user device has occurred;

seamlessly transitioning the video to a second state based on the change.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the properties are selected from the group consisting of physical orientation, model, physical screen size, screen resolution, and window size.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein configuring the first state of the video comprises at least one of setting which video content to play and setting which audio content to play.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein configuring the first state of the video comprises at least one of setting a dimensional ratio of the video and setting a quality of the video.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein configuring the first state of the video comprises setting a viewing region of the video to a partial area of the video.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise receiving simultaneously a plurality of videos, and wherein seamlessly transitioning the video to the second state comprises seamlessly transitioning from a first one of the videos to a second one of the videos.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise providing a plurality of videos associated with a particular one of the properties, wherein each video is associated with a different value of the particular property, wherein the determining comprises determining that a change in the particular property has occurred, and wherein the transitioning comprises transitioning the video to a second one of the videos, wherein the second one of the videos is associated with a value to which the particular property changed.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein seamlessly transitioning the video to a second state comprises changing at least one of video content playback and audio content playback.

19. The system of claim 11, wherein seamlessly transitioning the video to a second state comprises changing at least one of a dimensional ratio of the video and a quality of the video.

20. The system of claim 11, wherein seamlessly transitioning the video to a second state comprises modifying at least one of a position, a shape, and a size of a viewing region of the video.
