Abstract

Systems and methods are described for enhancing a social media post with a content item. An illustrative method includes receiving a social media post; extracting, from the social media post, a first content item; identifying, in a frame of the first content item, a portion of the frame that is a non-focus portion; identifying a plurality of content items that fit within the non-focus portion; identifying a content preference of an audience of the social media post; determining an estimated length of time that the audience will view the social media post; selecting a second content item, from the plurality of content items, that matches the content preference of the audience and has a duration that does not exceed the estimated length of time; generating an enhanced social media post by overlaying the second content item onto the non-focus portion; and generating for display the enhanced social media post.

Claims (53)

1. A method comprising:

determining first metadata of a first content item;

determining second metadata of a second content item;

identifying, in at least one frame of the first content item, a portion of the at least one frame;

determining a relationship between one or more portions of the first metadata and one or more portions of the second metadata;

generating an enhanced content item by integrating one or more determined related portions of the second content item into the portion of the at least one frame of the first content item; and

generating for display the enhanced content item.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising targeting display of the enhanced content item to at least one entity based on the determined relationship.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining user or account metadata of a user or account accessing a device generating and/or displaying the first content item; and

determining the relationship between one or more portions of the user or account metadata and the one or more portions of the first metadata and/or the one or more portions of the second metadata.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a preference of at least one entity.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the preference is a shared preference of a group of entities previously or currently consuming the first content item, the method further comprising:

targeting display of the enhanced content item to the group of entities having the shared preference.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a relevance of one of the first content item to the second content item or the second content item to the first content item.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating the enhanced content item in a social media post.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining one or more objects in the first content item that are intended and/or not intended to draw attention.

9. A system comprising:

control circuitry configured to:

determine first metadata of a first content item;

determine second metadata of a second content item;

identify, in at least one frame of the first content item, a portion of the at least one frame;

determine a relationship between one or more portions of the first metadata and one or more portions of the second metadata;

generate an enhanced content item by integrating one or more determined related portions of the second content item into the portion of the at least one frame of the first content item; and

generate for display the enhanced content item.

10. The system of claim 9 , the control circuitry further configured to target display of the enhanced content item to at least one entity based on the determined relationship.

11. The system of claim 9 , the control circuitry further configured to:

determine user or account metadata of a user or account accessing a device generating and/or displaying the first content item; and

determine the relationship between one or more portions of the user or account metadata and the one or more portions of the first metadata and/or the one or more portions of the second metadata.

12. The system of claim 9 , the control circuitry further configured to determine a preference of at least one entity.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the preference is a shared preference of a group of entities previously or currently consuming the first content item, the control circuitry further configured to:

target display of the enhanced content item to the group of entities having the shared preference.

14. The system of claim 9 , the control circuitry further configured to determine a relevance of one of the first content item to the second content item or the second content item to the first content item.

15. The system of claim 9 , the control circuitry further configured to generate the enhanced content item in a social media post.

16. The system of claim 9 , the control circuitry further configured to determine one or more objects in the first content item that are intended and/or not intended to draw attention.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by control circuitry, cause the control circuitry to:

determine first metadata of a first content item;

determine second metadata of a second content item;

identify, in at least one frame of the first content item, a portion of the at least one frame;

determine a relationship between one or more portions of the first metadata and one or more portions of the second metadata;

generate an enhanced content item by integrating one or more determined related portions of the second content item into the portion of the at least one frame of the first content item; and

generate for display the enhanced content item.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the control circuitry to:

target display of the enhanced content item to at least one entity based on the determined relationship.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the control circuitry to:

determine user or account metadata of a user or account accessing a device generating and/or displaying the first content item; and

determine the relationship between one or more portions of the user or account metadata and the one or more portions of the first metadata and/or the one or more portions of the second metadata.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the control circuitry to perform one or more of the following:

determine a preference of at least one entity, wherein the preference is a shared preference of a group of entities previously or currently consuming the first content item;

target display of the enhanced content item to the group of entities having the shared preference;

determine a relevance of one of the first content item to the second content item or the second content item to the first content item;

generate the enhanced content item in a social media post; and

determine one or more objects in the first content item that are intended and/or not intended to draw attention.
