Abstract

Methods, systems, and media for presenting supplemental information corresponding to on-demand media content are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: receiving an indication from a web browser extension executing within a web browsing application that a media content item is being presented on a content provider website; identifying the media content item being presented on the content provider website; determining whether supplemental content associated with the broadcasted media content item is available; in response to determining that the supplemental content is available, causing the web browser extension to present an indicator that the supplemental content is available; obtaining the supplemental content corresponding to the broadcasted media content item, wherein each piece of the supplemental content is associated with timing information of the broadcasted media content item; and causing a portion of the obtained supplemental content to be presented concurrently with the media content item in response to detecting that the indicator has been selected.

Claims (38)

1. A method for providing information relating to presented media content, the method comprising:

determining, using a hardware processor, whether a media content item being presented in a video window corresponds with one or more media content items stored in a media database, wherein portions of image data corresponding to the media content item are each associated with a time;

determining, using the hardware processor, that supplemental content has been generated for the media content item being presented in the video window, wherein the supplemental content is available for one or more of the portions of image data;

selecting, using the hardware processor, a portion of the supplemental content based on song being played within the media content item being presented and based on at least one keyword extracted from a portion of the image data that includes the video window playing back the media content item, wherein the song being played within the media content item is identified based on audio data from the media content item; and

causing, using the hardware processor, an overlay interface that includes the portion of supplemental content to be presented concurrently with the media content item being presented in the video window.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content item is being presented in the video window of a web browsing application.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving an indication from the web browsing application that the media content item is being presented in the video window.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the indication includes at least one keyword that has been extracted from the media content item being presented in the video window.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the web browsing application includes a web browser extension that presents an indicator within an address bar of the web browsing application that the supplemental content which is synchronized with the presentation of the media content being presented in the video window is available.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the web browsing application presents the overlay interface that includes the portion of supplemental content concurrently with the media content item being presented in the video window in response to detecting that the indicator has been selected.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content item being presented in the video window is determined to correspond with the one or more media content items stored in the media database further comprises:

generating a fingerprint from at least a portion of media information associated with the media content item being presented in the video window; and

determining whether the fingerprint matches one of a plurality of fingerprints associated with the one or more media content items from a fingerprint database.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that the media content item is an on-demand video that has been selected for presentation in the video window by comparing the image data corresponding to the media content item with an on-demand video database.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the media content item being presented in the video window corresponds with the one or more media content items stored in the media database further comprises:

extracting media information from the media content item being presented in the video window.

10. A system for providing information relating to media content, the system comprising:

a hardware processor that is configured to:

determine whether a media content item being presented in a video window corresponds with one or more media content items stored in a media database, wherein portions of image data corresponding to the media content item are each associated with a time;

determine that supplemental content has been generated for the media content item being presented in the video window, wherein the supplemental content is available for one or more of the portions of image data;

select a portion of the supplemental content based on song being played within the media content item being presented and based on at least one keyword extracted from a portion of the image data that includes the video window playing back the media content item, wherein the song being played within the media content item is identified based on audio data from the media content item; and

cause an overlay interface that includes the portion of supplemental content to be presented concurrently with the media content item being presented in the video window.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the media content item is being presented in the video window of a web browsing application.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to receive an indication from the web browsing application that the media content item is being presented in the video window.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the indication includes at least one keyword that has been extracted from the media content item being presented in the video window.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the web browsing application includes a web browser extension that presents an indicator within an address bar of the web browsing application that the supplemental content which is synchronized with the presentation of the media content being presented in the video window is available.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the web browsing application presents the overlay interface that includes the portion of supplemental content concurrently with the media content item being presented in the video window in response to detecting that the indicator has been selected.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the media content item being presented in the video window is determined to correspond with the one or more media content items stored in the media database further comprises:

generating a fingerprint from at least a portion of media information associated with the media content item being presented in the video window; and

determining whether the fingerprint matches one of a plurality of fingerprints associated with the one or more media content items from a fingerprint database.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to determine that the media content item is an on-demand video that has been selected for presentation in the video window by comparing the image data corresponding to the media content item with an on-demand video database.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein determining whether the media content item being presented in the video window corresponds with the one or more media content items stored in the media database further comprises:

extracting media information from the media content item being presented in the video window.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for providing information relating to media content, the method comprising:

determining whether a media content item being presented in a video window corresponds with one or more media content items stored in a media database, wherein portions of image data corresponding to the media content item are each associated with a time;

determining that supplemental content has been generated for the media content item being presented in the video window, wherein the supplemental content is available for one or more of the portions of image data;

selecting a portion of the supplemental content based on a song being played within the media content item being presented and based on at least one keyword extracted from a portion of the image data that includes the video window playing back the media content item, wherein the song being played within the media content item is identified based on audio data from the media content item; and

causing an overlay interface that includes the portion of supplemental content to be presented concurrently with the media content item being presented in the video window.
