Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for providing co-deliver of primary and secondary content, including, video and video chat content. A first electronic device includes a transceiver that receives the secondary content from a second electronic device. The first electronic device also includes components capable of outputting aspects of the primary and secondary content in a synchronized fashion. Further, the first electronic device includes circuitry coupled to the transceiver and components, and the circuitry executes instructions in order to perform functions. One such function is to synchronize local primary content to be output by the components, with delivered primary content to be provided by the second electronic device. Another such function is to signal the components to output aspects of the local primary or the secondary content.
Background
TECHNICAL FIELD(1) The present disclosure relates generally to interactive multimedia and connected communication. More particularly, the present disclosure is directed to systems, methods, and devices, for providing co-delivery of content, including in some examples, co-delivery of video programming content and video chat content.BACKGROUND(2) Currently available platforms for connected social interaction and content delivery/consumption are limited to two-way interaction via text to complement delivered content. Such one-dimensional interactions do not allow content consumers to fully engage with one another in near-real time and thus enhance the content experience.SUMMARY(3) In view of the above shortcomings in conventional interactive multimedia and connected communication platforms, there exists a need for providing co-delivery of content that includes both primary and secondary content delivered to a plurality of devices, where the primary content is synchronized across the plurality of devices. In particular, there exists a need for such platforms that enable content consumers to fully engage and interact in a way that complements the delivery of content. In this connection, embodiments of the present disclosure include systems, methods, and devices, capable of providing co-delivery of content, including, for example, using a combination of multimedia components and interfaces, as well as interconnected processors and/or circuitry, to synchronize the content across a p
Claims
1. A first electronic device for providing primary content and secondary content, wherein the primary content comprises pre-recorded video content, the first electronic device comprising: a receiver that receives the secondary content from a second electronic device, wherein the secondary content comprises video content captured by the second electronic device; circuitry coupled to the receiver and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the circuitry to: synchronize local primary content with delivered primary content, wherein the local primary content comprises a version of the pre-recorded video content to be provided by the first electronic device, and wherein the delivered primary content comprises a version of the pre-recorded video content to be provided by the second electronic device; initiate a signal for one or more of a display and an audio component to output aspects of the local primary content and the secondary content; responsive to user input received at the first electronic device, change a playback position of the local primary content; pause the local primary content; responsive to the playback position of the local primary content being changed, re-synchronize the local primary content with the delivered primary content by initiating a signal for the second electronic device to change a playback position of the delivered primary content; and unpause the local primary content.
5. A method for co-delivery of pre-recorded video content and live video content, the live video content comprising inbound video content and outbound video content, the method comprising: a host device sending a message to an electronic device to initiate a session for the delivering the pre-recorded video content and the live video content, wherein the host device provides the electronic device with access to the pre-recorded video content, and wherein the host device receives the inbound video content from the electronic device and sends the outbound video content to the electronic device; synchronizing the pre-recorded video content across the host device and the electronic device; signaling an output component to concurrently output the pre-recorded video content and the inbound video content; responsive to user input received at the host device, change a playback position of the pre-recorded video content at the host device and pause the pre-recorded video content at the host device; responsive to the playback position of the pre-recorded video content being changed, re-synchronize the pre-recorded video content across the host device and electronic device by initiating a signal for the electronic device to change a playback position of the pre-recorded video content; and unpause the pre-recorded video content at the host device.
6. A method for providing primary content and secondary content, wherein the primary content comprises pre-recorded video content, the method comprising: a first electronic device providing local primary content to a first user, wherein the local primary content comprises a version of the pre-recorded video content provided by the first electronic device to a first user; the first electronic device receiving the secondary content from a second electronic device, wherein the secondary content comprises video captured by the second electronic device; the first electronic device providing the received secondary content to the first user; synchronizing the local primary content with delivered primary content, wherein the delivered primary content comprises a version of the pre-recorded video content provided by the second electronic device to a second user; during a time period, altering a playback speed of the local primary content; responsive to the playback speed of the local primary content being altered, the first electronic device sending a signal to the second electronic device to indicate playback of the delivered primary content should be paused; after the time period, pausing playback of the local primary content; re-synchronizing the local primary content with the delivered primary content; and responsive to the local primary content being re-synchronized with the delivered primary content, the first electronic device sending a signal to the second electronic device to indicate the playback of the delivered primary content should be unpaused, and unpausing the playback of the local primary content.
15. A system for co-delivery of pre-recorded video content and live video content, the live video content comprising inbound video content and outbound video content, the system comprising: a host device that provides an electronic device with access to the pre-recorded video content, wherein the host device receives the inbound video content from the electronic device and sends the outbound video content to the electronic device; a non-transitory computer-readable medium operatively coupled to circuitry within the host device and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the circuitry to: initiate, via the host device sending a message to the electronic device, a session for the delivery of the pre-recorded video content and live video content; synchronize the pre-recorded video content across the host device and the electronic device; and signal an output component to concurrently output the pre-recorded video content and the inbound video content, wherein the pre-recorded video content comprises one or more events; wherein the live video content comprises event-based input provided in response to at least one of the one or more events; a server that receives the event-based input from one or more of the host device and the electronic device; and a processor that associates the event-based input with the at least one of the one or more events, and generates a temporal profile of the pre-recorded video content, the temporal profile comprising the event-based input for a set of the one or more events, wherein the temporal profile is to map a user's sentiment with respect to the pre-recorded video content over time.
