Methods and systems for providing additional content

1. A method of incorporating additional material in video content, the method comprising:

identifying individual frames within a portion of video content that will be visible during adjusted playback of video content and in response to a command to initiate the adjusted playback;

determining a context of the video content to which at least one item of information is to be incorporated, wherein the determining comprises evaluating whether the individual frames are part of a video segment displaying static content or moving content;

based on the context of the video content, incorporating the at least one item of information within at least one individual frame of the individual frames identified to produce modified video content, where the at least one item of information is positioned within the at least one individual frame:

at a first position with respect to content corresponding to the static content when the video segment is determined to display the static content, or

at a second position with respect to content corresponding to the moving content when the video segment is determined to display the moving content;

wherein the first position is different from the second position; and

transmitting the modified video content for display.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusted playback comprises a fast-forwarding operation.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the fast-forwarding operation comprises selecting the at least one individual frame to be displayed for a period of time while traversing a portion of the modified video content.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the fast-forwarding operation comprises displaying a subset of the individual frames corresponding to a speed of the fast-forwarding operation.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the fast-forwarding operation comprises at least about 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 16 times speed of normal playback.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one item of information is substantially hidden during normal playback of the modified video content.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one item of information comprises an icon or text.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one item of information comprises moving content.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein incorporating the at least one item of information within the at least one of the individual frames identified comprises incorporating the at least one item of information in a first position on a first identified frame, and incorporating the at least one item of information in a second position on a second identified frame.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second position is different from the first position.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second identified frame comprises a frame of the identified individual frames that will be visible during adjusted playback and is sequential to the first identified frame that will be visible during adjusted playback.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one item of information is incorporated based on the context of the video content, and positioned on the at least one individual frame in a location configured to reduce distraction.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the context comprises identifying a location of faces in the individual frames, and wherein the incorporation involves including the at least one item of information in a position within the individual frames separate from the identified location of faces.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the incorporation involves including the at least one item of information in a position displaying a background environment within the individual frames.

15. An electronic device comprising:

at least one input component configured to receive audiovisual content;

at least one output component communicatively coupled with at least one display device;

one or more processors; and

memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

receive video content,

receive an instruction to adjust playback;

identify individual frames within a portion of the video content that will be visible during adjusted playback of video content and in response to the instruction;

determine a context of the video content to which at least one item of information is to be incorporated, wherein the determining comprises evaluating whether the individual frames are part of a video segment displaying static content or moving content;

based on the context of the video content, incorporate at least one item of information within at least one individual frame of the individual frames identified to produce modified video content, where the at least one item of information is positioned within the at least one individual frame:

at a first position with respect to content corresponding to the static content when the video segment is determined to display the static content, or

at a second position with respect to content corresponding to the moving content when the video segment is determined to display the moving content;

wherein the first position is different from the second position; and

transmit via the at least one output component the modified video content for display.

16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the instruction to adjust playback comprises an instruction to fast-forward.

17. The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the transmission comprises providing for display a selection of a subset of the individual frames corresponding to a speed of a fast-forwarding operation.

18. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the fast-forwarding operation comprises at least about 4 times speed of normal playback.

19. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the at least one item of information is substantially hidden during normal playback of the modified video content.

20. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein a transmitted subset of individual frames displays an icon that moves position within a frame space from one of the individual frames displayed to the next.
