This application is directed to presenting a unified user interface on a network-connected television device. The unified user interface displays media content recommendations selected and organized based on knowledge of a user (e.g., search queries, search results, watch history, purchase history, physical activities). The unified user interface also includes a focus area for displaying a series of media content items (e.g., an advertisement) sequentially according to a temporal order for the purposes of promoting a media content item, product, event or service. In some implementations, playback of a media content item presented on the unified user interface relies on a collaborative implementation of a corresponding media player application and a media content casting application, particularly when the play involves a restricted mode. The content casting application is enabled to play the media content item at the restrict mode when the media player application does not operate in the restricted mode.

Devices, systems, and methods are provided for an enhanced online hopping platform having multiple home pages for livestreaming and product pages. A method may include receiving, from a first user of the e-commerce system, a first request to a second user of the e-commerce system to present a livestream of a product sold by the first user; sending first request to the second user; receiving, based on the first request, a second request made by the second user to generate the livestream; generating, based on the second request, a first webpage of the e-commerce system, the first webpage presenting the livestream; receiving a third request made by the second user to present the first address using the first webpage; presenting the first webpage, including the livestream and the first address; receiving a selection of the first address; and re-directing to the product page.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, by a processing system including a processor that is operative in a first communication network, a certificate from a communication device that is operative in a second communication network, extracting, by the processing system, an identifier of the communication device from the certificate, authenticating, by the processing system, the communication device in accordance with the identifier, comparing, by the processing system, the identifier with a plurality of identifiers to determine that the communication device is authorized to access data, resulting in an authorization determination, and transmitting, by the processing system, the data to the communication device based on the authorization determination. Other embodiments are disclosed.

During steaming of media selection to a user device, products are identified within scenes of the selection for selection by a user. A selected product returns a Unique Identification Number (UIN). Retailers offering the selected product are identified and prices offered for the product obtained based on the UIN. A sorted list of the retailers and prices are returned to the user during media selection play on the user device. A selected retailer by the user made during media selection play on the user device initiates a transaction with that retailer for purchase of the product by the user. In an embodiment, audit data for selected products and purchased products are maintained; metrics generated for the audit data, and specific targeted products by user or by media selection are identified for highlighting during media selection playing by the users.

A media providing server and a method and computer program for providing call waiting content with respect to ARS order calls for a broadcast product provide call waiting content with respect to ARS order calls for the broadcast product and provide order content to enable a product to be ordered according to one of order methods except for an ARS order method.

A delivery device includes an image capture device for generating delivery image data of a delivery at a service address. A processor executes a delivery application to bidirectionally communicate delivery data with the delivery data server via the network interface, wherein the delivery data includes a delivery tracking number and the delivery image data. The delivery data server processes the delivery data to provide a delivery confirmation to a customer at the service address, wherein the delivery confirmation includes the delivery tracking number and the delivery image data.

A method and system is provided for displaying and updating electronic information on a display device. In an exemplary aspect, the method includes storing first and second digital information relating to first and second products, respectively, and transmitting this information to a display device to be displayed thereon by user interface pages navigable by a user. Moreover, the method includes determining a current page that is being displayed on the display device and determining whether either the first digital information or the second digital information product is being displayed on the current page. When the current page is displaying the first digital information, the method transmits unscheduled updates of the first digital information, such that the current page dynamically displays updated first digital information. Alternatively, when the current page is not displaying the second digital information, the method transmits scheduled updates of the second digital information.

A method for co-hosting in live streaming includes sending, in response to receiving a co-hosting request from a live streaming account, the co-hosting request to a target user account for co-hosting; and sending, in response to receiving co-hosting grant information from the target user account, a first live data stream and a second live data stream to a viewer account. The first live data stream corresponds to the target user account, the second live data stream corresponds to the live streaming account. The second live data stream is pushed by the live streaming account using a target live streaming tool, and the target live streaming tool is configured to push the second live data stream for the live streaming account and pull the first live data stream for the live streaming account.

A system and method to execute, via an API overlay and through a graphical user interface accessible to a user, an end result media stream that is live shoppable media enabling a transaction relating to an item associated with the video content, all without interrupting the video content stream. An interactive overlay is generated, that is wholly independent of the video content file and playable independently of the video content file, but nevertheless associated with the video content file, wherein the overlay includes an interactive portion configured to receive a user interaction associated with some element of the video content file. A user interaction corresponding to the desired interaction between the user of the system and the element is received via the interactive portion of the overlay. In response to the user interaction, a transaction associated with the element is processed.

A system and method for parallel data capture in video comprising a retailer module having memory adapted and configured to accept product images, product information, and product identifying information related to one or more products, a tagging module having memory and storage adapted and configured to generate unique identifying tags associated with each of said one or more products, a database module having storage for storing product images, product information , product identifying information and tags and an identification module having memory adapted and configured to receive video content and identify said one or more products contained with said video content. The modules are configured, such that said unique identifying tags are associated with video content associated with said one or more products contained within said video content to generate concatenated video content and said concatenated video content is delivered to a consumer.
