Relevant commentary for media content
View Patent ↗Methods, products, apparatuses, and systems may provide and/or receive relevant commentary for media content. Additionally, the relevant commentary may be provided and/or received in response to rendering a section of the media content. In addition, the relevant commentary may be provided and/or received based on one or more of a preference for a temporal perspective, a preference for a viewpoint, and/or a preference for a state of a social network. Moreover, the relevant commentary may be provided and/or received based on a topic related to the section of the media content. The relevant commentary may be provided and/or received based on an authorship independent of a media content access event by an author of the relevant commentary. In addition, an ambiguous section of the media content may be clarified, and/or an interactive commentary session may be simulated.
1. A computer program product comprising:
a computer readable storage medium; and
computer usable code stored on the computer readable storage medium, where, when executed by a microprocessor, the computer usable code causes a computer to:
provide media content to a user;
identify commentary generated within a variance period from a date of creation of the media content and one or more of a preference for a viewpoint and a preference for a state of a social network;
provide said commentary to the user; and
clarify an ambiguous section of the media content using the commentary.
2. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to:
provide initial commentary to the user to be related to the section;
receive user commentary to be in response to the initial commentary; and
provide at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on the user commentary.
3. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to perform one or more of the following:
provide at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on a topic to be related to the section of the media content;
provide at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on an authorship independent of a media content access event by an author of the relevant commentary; and
simulate an interactive commentary session.
4. A computer program product comprising:
a computer readable storage medium; and
computer usable code stored on the computer readable storage medium, where, when executed by a microprocessor, the computer usable code causes a computer to:
receive relevant commentary in response to a render of a section of video media content, wherein at least a portion of the relevant commentary is generated within a variance period from a date of creation of the media content; and
clarify an ambiguous section of the media content using the relevant commentary.
5. The computer program product of claim 4 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to:
receive initial commentary to be related to the section;
provide user commentary to be in response to the initial commentary; and
receive at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on the user commentary.
6. The computer program product of claim 4 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to perform one or more of the following:
receive at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on a preference for a viewpoint to be related to the section of the media content;
receive at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on a preference for a state of a social network;
receive at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on a topic to be related to the section of the media content;
receive at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on an authorship independent of a media content access event by an author of the relevant commentary;
simulate an interactive commentary session.
7. A computer program product comprising:
a computer readable storage medium; and
computer usable code stored on the computer readable storage medium, where, when executed by a microprocessor, the computer usable code causes a computer to:
provide media content to a user;
identify commentary generated within a variance period from a date of creation of the media content and one or more of a preference for a viewpoint and a preference for a state of a social network;
provide said commentary to the user; and
clarify an ambiguous section of the media content using the commentary.
8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to:
provide initial commentary to the user to be related to the section;
receive user commentary to be in response to the initial commentary; and
provide at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based the user commentary.
9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to cause the media content and the initial commentary to be from a past time period, the user commentary to be from a present time period, and the portion of the relevant commentary to be from the past time period to be based on the preference for a past perspective.
10. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to cause the media content to be from a past time period, the initial commentary and the user commentary to be from a present time period, and the portion of the relevant commentary to be from the present time period to be based on the preference for a present perspective.
11. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to cause the portion of the relevant commentary to be from a present time period and a past time period to be based on the preference for a present perspective and a past perspective.
12. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to provide at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on a preference for a viewpoint to be related to the section.
13. The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to derive the viewpoint from one or more of a user statement, user history information, and the section of the media content.
14. The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to provide the relevant commentary to be based on one or more of a viewpoint agreement, a viewpoint disagreement, and a viewpoint neutrality.
15. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to provide at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on a preference for a state of a social network.
16. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to provide at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on a topic to be related to the section of the media content.
17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to derive the topic from a comment expressed by one or more of the user and the media content.
18. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to provide at least a portion of the relevant commentary to be based on an authorship independent of a media content access event by an author of the relevant commentary.
19. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the computer usable code, if executed, further causes a computer to simulate an interactive commentary session.
