Abstract

A method includes causing, at a first time point, an initial view of immersive video content to be presented on a user device, the initial view including an interactive element and having a first horizontal field of view at a first angular direction. The interactive element is initially at a first angular position outside the first horizontal field of view. An input made via the user device is received at a second time point, the input indicating the initial view is to be changed towards the first angular position. A viewpoint of the immersive video content is caused to change to a first view having a second horizontal field of view at a second angular direction. The method includes determining that the first angular position is within the second horizontal field of view, identifying a content creator associated with the interactive element, and assigning attribution information to the content creator.

Claims (32)

1. A method for presenting interactive elements within video content, the method comprising:

causing, at a first time point, an initial view of immersive video content to be presented on a user device, wherein the immersive video content includes at least the initial view having a first horizontal field of view at a first angular direction and a first interactive element to be presented on the user device, the first interactive element at a first angular position outside of the first horizontal field of view at the first time point;

receiving an input made via the user device at a second time point, the input indicating that the initial view of the immersive video content is to be changed in a direction towards the first angular position;

in response to receiving the input, causing a viewpoint of the immersive video content to change to a first view having a second horizontal field of view at a second angular direction, different from the first angular direction;

determining that the first angular position is within the second horizontal field of view of the first view of the immersive video content;

in response to determining that the first angular position is within the second horizontal field of view of the first view, identifying a content creator associated with the first interactive element; and

assigning attribution information that indicates the presentation of the first interactive element to the content creator associated with the first interactive element.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input made via the user device at the second time point is a movement of the user device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input made via the user device at the second time point is a user input on a touchscreen of the user device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first interactive element is selectable.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

receiving an indication that the first interactive element has been selected; and

causing an action associated with the first interactive element to be performed on the user device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the action is causing a web page to open.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the action is causing a user interface for sharing the immersive video content to be presented.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the attribution information further indicates that the interactive element has been selected.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for presenting interactive elements within video content, the method comprising:

causing, at a first time point, an initial view of immersive video content to be presented on a user device, wherein the immersive video content includes at least the initial view having a first horizontal field of view at a first angular direction and a first interactive element to be presented on the user device, the first interactive element at a first angular position outside of the first horizontal field of view at the first time point;

receiving an input made via the user device at a second time point, the input indicating that the initial view of the immersive video content is to be changed in a direction towards the first angular position;

in response to receiving the input, causing a viewpoint of the immersive video content to change to a first view having a second horizontal field of view at a second angular direction, different from the first angular direction;

determining that the first angular position is within the second horizontal field of view of the first view of the immersive video content;

in response to determining that the first angular position is within the second horizontal field of view of the first view, identifying a content creator associated with the first interactive element; and

assigning attribution information that indicates the presentation of the first interactive element to the content creator associated with the first interactive element.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the input made via the user device at the second time point is a movement of the user device.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the input made via the user device at the second time point is a user input on a touchscreen of the user device.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the first interactive element is selectable.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving an indication that the first interactive element has been selected; and

causing an action associated with the first interactive element to be performed on the user device.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the action is causing a web page to open.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the action is causing a user interface for sharing the immersive video content to be presented.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the attribution information further indicates that the interactive element has been selected.
