Logic model for media customization with item association
A computing device receives a plurality of media files. Further, the computing device associates an item with a media file from the plurality of media files according to an association. The item is displayed during display of the media file. The association has a predetermined playback time during playback of the media file at which item data is displayed in addition to the display of the media file. In addition, the computing device generates a hierarchical logic model for media playback. The hierarchical logic model organizes the plurality of media files for playback into a hierarchy according to a predetermined set of conditions. A set of code is provided to a media player for media playback based upon the logic model and the association between the item and the media file.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, with a computing device, a plurality of media files;
associating, with the computing device, an item with a media file from the plurality of media files according to an association, the item being displayed during display of the media file, the association having a predetermined playback time during playback of the media file at which item data is displayed in addition to the display of the media file;
generating, with the computing device, a hierarchical logic model for media playback, the hierarchical logic model organizing the plurality of media files for playback into a hierarchy according to a predetermined set of conditions; and
providing a set of code to a media player for media playback based upon the logic model and the association between the item and the media file.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of code synchronizes playback of the media file with display of the item data at the predetermined playback time.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of code displays the media file in a media player display and displays the item data in a panel that is within proximity to the media player display.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the set of code displays the item data as a thumbnail image of the item in the panel.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the set of code displays the item data as descriptive information about the product in the panel.
6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the set of code displays the item data as a link in the panel.
7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the link is a Uniform Resource Locator associated with a website at which the item is available for purchase.
8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the set of code displays additional item data for additional items as the additional items are displayed in the media file.
9. The method of claim 3 , wherein item selections are received through inputs and stored in a basket associated with the media file.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the item is a product.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the item is a service.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of code tracks a user interaction of during which the item data is displayed to a user.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of code tracks a user interaction of during which the item data is stored to a basket associated with the media file.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of code tracks a user interaction during which a user follows a link associated with a website at which the item is available for purchase.
15. A method comprising:
receiving, with a computing device, a plurality of media files;
associating, with the computing device, a social network topic with a media file from the plurality of media files according to an association, the social network topic being displayed in a social network display during display of the media file;
generating, with the computing device, a hierarchical logic model for media playback, the hierarchical logic model organizing the plurality of media files for playback into a hierarchy according to a predetermined set of conditions; and
providing a set of code to a media player for media playback based upon the logic model and the association between the item and the social network topic.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the set of code displays the media file in a media player display and displays the social network display in a panel that is within proximity to the media player display.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the social network topic is associated with an item that is displayed during playback of the media file.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein additional social network topics corresponding to additional social networks are displayed in additional social network displays.
19. A system comprising:
a server that receives a plurality of media files, associates an item with a media file from the plurality of media files according to an association, generates, with the computing device, a hierarchical logic model for media playback, and provides a set of code to a media player for media playback based upon the logic model and the association between the item and the media file, the item being displayed during display of the media file, the association having a predetermined playback time during playback of the media file at which item data is displayed in addition to the display of the media file, the hierarchical logic model organizing the plurality of media files for playback into a hierarchy according to a predetermined set of conditions.
