Systems and methods to determine a machine-readable optical code based on screen-captured video
Systems and methods configured to determine a machine-readable optical code based on screen-captured video are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive, via a user interface of a client computing platform, an indication to begin a screen-captured video; initiate, based on the indication, the screen-captured video; effectuate an image decoding machine configured to parse and decode images and/or the video frames for information embedded into the images and/or the video frames to: parse the video frames for a text; for individual ones of the video frames with the text, extract embedded information from the text by performing at least optical character recognition; and decode the embedded information for metadata; and effectuate, via the user interface, presentation of information derived from the metadata.
Method and system of pushing video viewfinder
The present disclosure describes techniques of pushing information associated with the at least one location that is associated with a video. The disclosed techniques comprises obtaining video data, wherein the video data comprise a plurality frames of a video and information associated with the video; determining at least one location associated with at least one frame among the plurality of frames of the video based on comparing the video data with data included in a database; determining information associated with the at least one location; and pushing the information associated with the at least one location to a first computing device based on a time point of playing the at least one frame among the plurality of frames of the video.
Playback of audio content along with associated non-static media content
This disclosure concerns the provision of media, and more particularly streaming of media. In particular, one aspect herein relates to a method performed by a server system of streaming an audio content item to an electronic device. In response to receiving a request message from the electronic device, a selected audio content item is retrieved from a first storage. Descriptive metadata including an origin-ID associated with the retrieved audio content item is determined. A second storage is browsed utilizing said metadata including the origin-ID to locate non-static media content item(s) associated with the origin-ID. In response to finding a non-static media content item associated with the origin ID, the selected audio content item is sent along with the located non-static media content item to the electronic device for simultaneous presentation of the audio content item and the located non-static media content item.

Methods and systems for seamlessly transporting objects between connected devices for electronic transactions
Methods and Systems are disclosed for displaying objects between disparate devices connected to an electronic network. One method comprises detecting, by a multimedia device connected to an electronic network, an object in a multimedia stream; determining an identifier associated with the detected object; detecting a mobile device connected to the electronic network, the mobile device being a device other than the multimedia device; and generating a display of the detected object at the detected mobile device.

System and method to identify an item depicted when media content is displayed
A method includes receiving, at a media device, media content from a media content server. A portion of the media content includes a first item concurrently depicted with a second item. The method includes receiving an input indicating a selection of the second item within the media content. The method includes, in response to the input, sending an identification request for information corresponding to the second item to an identification server in response to the input. The identification request includes data relating to a depiction of the second item. The method also includes receiving the information from the identification server in response to the identification request. Other embodiments are disclosed.
