Abstract

A system and method for dynamic generation and display of play data for a media is provided. One or more sets of object data may be associated with the media. One or more media-object bindings between the one or more sets of object data and the media may be formed and stored in one or more databases. The one or more sets of object data may include data about an aspect displayed during at least the portion of the media. One or more object-object associations between the one or more sets of object data and one or more named objects of a metadata reference container, which may maintain a common schema based on commonly experienced characteristics, may be formed and stored the one or more databases. Play data may be dynamically generated based on the one or more media-object bindings and/or one or more object-object associations.

forming, based on the associating, one or more media-object bindings between the one or more sets of object data and the at least the media file;

storing the one or more media-object bindings in one or more databases;

dynamically generating, based on the one or more sets of object data and the one or more media-object bindings, the play data associated with the media file; and

displaying the play data in association the media file.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the associating the one or more sets of object data with the media file to form the one or more media-object bindings further including associating a timestamp at which an associated object is displayed during in at least the media file.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

sending the play data to be played simultaneously with at least the media file based on the one or more media-object bindings.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the sending further includes sending the timestamp so that the play data is displayed while the associated object is displayed during in at least the media file.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

associating the one or more sets of object data with one or more named objects of a metadata reference container that maintains a common schema based on commonly experienced characteristics, the associating forming one or more object-object associations, wherein the play data is dynamically generated based on at least the one or more object-object associations.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the metadata reference container maintains the common schema based on the commonly experienced characteristics for a plurality of different streaming media for different games provided by different media streaming servers.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein for different games, additional information are supplemented to the common schema by respective media streaming servers in order to provide in-depth and game-specific play data.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the play data further includes more detailed information regarding the one or more objects displayed in the media file.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the play data further includes an option to purchase regarding the one or more objects displayed in the media file.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the play data further includes an option to purchase related information or gameplay options.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media file along with the play data are displayed as a live stream.

12. A system for dynamic generation and display of play data for a media file, the system comprising:

one or more databases that store sets of object data, media-object bindings between the sets of object data and the media file, and object-object associations; and

one or more processors that execute instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the one or more processors:

records a plurality of media files generated based on one or more inputs from a client device, wherein a plurality of object files are recorded simultaneously;

associates one or more sets of object data of the plurality of object files with at least a media file of the plurality of media files, wherein the one or more sets of object data comprises data about one or more objects displayed in the media file;

forms, based on the associating, one or more media-object bindings between the one or more sets of object data and the at least the media file;

stores the one or more media-object bindings in the one or more databases;

dynamically generates, based on the one or more sets of object data and the one or more media-object bindings, the play data associated with the media file; and

displays the play data in association the media file.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the associating the one or more sets of object data with the media file to form the one or more media-object bindings further including associating a timestamp at which an associated object is displayed during in the at least the media file.

14. The system of claim 13 , further comprising:

sending the play data to be played simultaneously with the at least the media file based on the one or more media-object bindings.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the sending further includes sending the timestamp so that the play data is displayed while the one or more objects are displayed during in the at least the media file.

16. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:

associating the one or more sets of object data with one or more named objects of a metadata reference container that maintains a common schema based on commonly experienced characteristics, the associating forming one or more object-object associations, wherein the play data is dynamically generated based on at least the one or more object-object associations.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the metadata reference container maintains the common schema based on the commonly experienced characteristics for a plurality of different streaming media for different games provided by different media streaming servers.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein for different games, additional information are supplemented to the common schema by respective media streaming servers in order to provide in-depth and game-specific play data.

19. The system of claim 12 , wherein the play data further includes more detailed information regarding one or more objects displayed in the media file.

20. The system of claim 12 , wherein the play data further includes an option to purchase regarding one or more objects displayed in the media file.

21. The system of claim 12 , wherein the play data further includes an option to purchase related information or gameplay options.

22. The system of claim 12 , wherein the media file along with the play data are displayed as a live stream.

23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program executable by one or more processors to perform a method for dynamic generation and display of play data for a media file, the method comprising:

recording a plurality of media files generated based on one or more inputs from a client device, wherein a plurality of object files are recorded simultaneously;

associating one or more sets of object data of the plurality of object files with at least a media file of the plurality of media files, wherein the one or more sets of object data comprises data about one or more objects displayed in the media file;

forming, based on the associating, one or more media-object bindings between the one or more sets of object data and the at least the media file;

storing the one or more media-object bindings in one or more databases;

dynamically generating, based on the one or more sets of object data and the one or more media-object bindings, the play data associated with the media file; and
