Interactive Video System For Sports Media
A method for delivering interactive video to a user is disclosed herein. A computing system identifies video contents corresponding to a sporting event. The video contents include a plurality of video frames. The computing system annotates each video frame of the plurality of video frames to uniquely identify the video frame and contents contained therein. The computing system receives, from a plurality of prediction models, a plurality of data inputs related to agents and actions captured in each video frame of the plurality of video frames. The computing system generates a plurality of data frames based on the plurality of data inputs. The computing system associates each data frame with a respective video frame using the annotations. The computing system causes a user device to present the interactive video to the user by instructing the user device to merge the plurality of data frames with the plurality of video frames.

receiving, by one or more processors, a plurality of data frames and a plurality of video frames corresponding to a sporting event;
merging, by the one or more processors, at least one of the plurality of data frames with at least one of the plurality of video frames to create merged video data; and
presenting, by the one or more processors, the merged video data to a user via a graphical user interface of a device.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of data frames includes output from one or more prediction models.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein each video frame of the plurality of video frames includes an indicator to identify a corresponding data frame of the plurality of data frames.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the indicator includes a tag or a mark.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the merging includes:
parsing, by the one or more processors, a video frame of the plurality of video frames to determine a tag or an identifier;
based on the tag or the identifier, retrieving, by the one or more processors, a corresponding data frame of the plurality of data frames; and
merging, by the one or more processors, the video frame and the retrieved corresponding data frame.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , the computer-implemented method further comprising:
overlaying, by the one or more processors, data included in the video frame onto the retrieved corresponding data frame.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the merging at least one of the plurality of data frames with at least one of the plurality of video frames results in interactive video data.
8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the presenting includes:
rendering, by the one or more processors, the graphical user interface that includes the interactive video to the device.
9 . A computer system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory having programming instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, causes the computer system to perform one or more operations, comprising:
receiving a plurality of data frames and a plurality of video frames corresponding to a sporting event;
merging at least one of the plurality of data frames with at least one of the plurality of video frames to create merged video data; and
presenting the merged video data to a user via a graphical user interface of a device.
10 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the plurality of data frames includes output from one or more prediction models.
11 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein each video frame of the plurality of video frames includes an indicator to identify a corresponding data frame of the plurality of data frames.
12 . The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the indicator includes a tag or a mark.
13 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the merging includes:
parsing a video frame of the plurality of video frames to determine a tag or an identifier;
based on the tag or the identifier, retrieving a corresponding data frame of the plurality of data frames; and
merging the video frame and the retrieved corresponding data frame.
14 . The computer system of claim 13 , the operations further comprising:
overlaying data included in the video frame onto the retrieved corresponding data frame.
15 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the merging at least one of the plurality of data frames with at least one of the plurality of video frames results in interactive video data.
16 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more sequences of instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, causes a computing system to perform operations, comprising:
receiving, by the one or more processors, a plurality of data frames and a plurality of video frames corresponding to a sporting event;
merging, by the one or more processors, at least one of the plurality of data frames with at least one of the plurality of video frames to create merged video data; and
presenting, by the one or more processors, the merged video data to a user via a graphical user interface of a device.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the merging includes:
parsing, by the one or more processors, a video frame of the plurality of video frames to determine a tag or an identifier;
based on the tag or the identifier, retrieving, by the one or more processors, a corresponding data frame of the plurality of data frames; and
merging, by the one or more processors, the video frame and the retrieved corresponding data frame.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , the operations further comprising:
overlaying, by the one or more processors, data included in the video frame onto the retrieved corresponding data frame.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the merging at least one of the plurality of data frames with at least one of the plurality of video frames results in interactive video data.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the presenting includes:
rendering, by the one or more processors, the graphical user interface that includes the interactive video to the device.
