Dynamic Hyperlink Subset Selection for Video Overlays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video streaming systems fail to dynamically adapt hyperlinks displayed with videos based on user preferences and device capabilities, leading to inappropriate or cluttered link presentations, especially on smaller screens or when user preferences are not considered.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic link integration platform that analyzes user preferences, device capabilities, and screen dimensions to selectively display a subset of hyperlinks over videos, tailoring the links to the user and device, including sharing links, social network profile links, and external information sources, while ensuring the number of links fits within the available display space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all hyperlinks are displayed with the video, then the information availability is improved, but the visual clutter and user experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the most relevant hyperlinks from the complete set of available links and displays them with the video. The system analyzes user preferences, device characteristics, and link relevance to select a subset of links, removing unnecessary ones to prevent visual clutter while maintaining information availability for the most important connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different display qualities to different hyperlinks based on their relevance, user preferences, and device context. Highly relevant links receive prominent display positions and larger sizes, while less relevant links are either displayed in smaller formats or omitted entirely, creating a differentiated quality hierarchy that reduces overall clutter.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of displayed links is increased, then the adaptability to user preferences is improved, but the device compatibility and display layout deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic link selection system that adapts the number and type of displayed links based on real-time analysis of user preferences, device screen dimensions, and video context. The system dynamically adjusts the link set composition, ensuring optimal adaptability to user preferences while maintaining compatibility across diverse device configurations through responsive layout adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes key parameters including the number of links displayed, their positions, sizes, and visibility based on device characteristics and user preferences. The system modifies these parameters dynamically to balance adaptability to user preferences with maintainability of display layout across different device types and screen sizes.
3Area of stationary object
If hyperlinks are displayed on all devices, then the universality is improved, but the ease of operation on small screens deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the hyperlink display into priority-based groups, showing only the most essential links on small screens while providing access to additional links through alternative interfaces. This segmentation allows universal link availability across all devices while optimizing the small screen experience by presenting only the most critical links in easily accessible positions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by displaying only a subset of available hyperlinks on small screens rather than all links. This selective display approach prioritizes ease of operation on limited screen real estate while maintaining universality, as users can access the complete set of links through additional interactions if needed.

AI summary
Systems and methods are provided for dynamically displaying hyperlinks in a video based on various factors associated with a device at which the video is played and/or a user of the device. In one or more aspects, a system includes a request component configured to receive a request to play a video hosted by a media provider. The system further includes a selection component configured to select a subset of links included in a set of links associated with the video to provide with the video when it is played in response to the request based in part on a number of links included in the set of links, wherein graphical elements respectively representative of the links included in the subset of links are configured to be displayed over the video when the video is played in response to the request.
