Abstract

A device detects that a user device is accessing a media stream that enables the user device to display, via a user interface, media content associated with a subject. The device receives a search query associated with the user device and the media stream, and determines, based on the search query, that a user associated with the user device has a threshold level of interest in a feature of the subject. The device receives feature information associated with the feature based on determining that the user has the threshold level of interest, and receives feature content data that is associated with feature content that includes the feature information. The device causes the feature content to be embedded into the media stream to cause the user device to display the feature content in relation to the feature when the feature is displayed in the media content via the user interface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
detect that a media platform is providing a media stream to a first device based on the first device accessing a link to the media stream,
wherein the link was provided to the first device based on the media platform receiving a first search query, and
wherein the media stream is configured to permit the first device to display media content that includes images of a subject;

identify a first feature of the subject based on the first search query;
obtain first feature information associated with the first feature from a first data structure;
generate first feature content associated with the first feature,
wherein the first feature content is configured to provide the first feature information; and

cause the media content to include the first feature content by embedding data associated with the first feature content in the media stream,
wherein the media content is configured to include the first feature content when a user interface of the first device displays one or more of the images that include the first feature.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:
intercept the media stream before the media stream is received by the first device;
embed the data associated with the first feature content in the media stream; and
provide the media stream to the first device.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to generate the first feature content, cause the one or more processors to:
determine a type of the first feature; and
cause the first feature content to include at least one of an image associated with the first feature, or text associated with the first feature, based on the type of the first feature.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the first search query has a threshold level of similarity to a plurality of other search queries associated with the first feature, and
wherein the first feature content is generated based on determining that the first feature is likely of interest to the user.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:
identify a second search query sent from a second device to the media platform, wherein the second device is different from the first device; and
detect that the media platform is providing the media stream to the second device based on the second device accessing the link to the media stream,
wherein the link was provided to the second device based on the media platform receiving the second search query.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the media content is configured to include a second feature content when a user interface of the second device presents one or more of the images that include the second feature.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the first feature is different from a second feature, and
wherein the media platform is providing the media stream to the first device and the second device substantially simultaneously.

8. A device, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
identify a first search query sent from a first device to a platform;
detect that the platform is providing a stream to the first device based on the first device accessing a link to the stream,
wherein the link was provided to the first device based on the platform receiving the first search query, and
wherein the stream is configured to permit the first device to display content that includes images of a subject;

generate first feature content associated with a first feature associated with the subject,
wherein the first feature content is configured to provide information associated with the first feature; and

cause the content to include the first feature content by embedding data associated with the first feature content in the stream,
wherein the content is configured to include the first feature content when a user interface of the first device displays one or more of the images that include the first feature.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
intercept the stream before the stream is received by the first device;
embed the data associated with the first feature content in the stream; and
provide the stream to the first device.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
determine a type of the first feature; and
cause the first feature content to include at least one of an image associated with the first feature, or text associated with the first feature, based on the type of the first feature.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first search query has a threshold level of similarity to a plurality of other search queries associated with the first feature, and
wherein the first feature content is generated based on determining that the first feature is likely of interest to the user.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
identify a second search query sent from a second device to the platform,
wherein the second device is different from the first device; and

detect that the platform is providing the stream to the second device based on the second device accessing the link to the stream,
wherein the link was provided to the second device based on the platform receiving the second search query.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the content is configured to include a second feature content when a user interface of the second device presents one or more of the images that include the second feature.

14. The device of claim 12 , wherein the first feature is different from a second feature, and
wherein the platform is providing the stream to the first device and the second device substantially simultaneously.

15. A method, comprising:
identifying, by a device, a first search query sent from a first device to a platform;
detecting, by the device, that the platform is providing a stream to the first device based on the first device accessing a link to the stream,
wherein the link was provided to the first device based on the platform receiving the first search query, and
wherein the stream is configured to permit the first device to display content that includes images of a subject;

identifying a first feature of the subject based on the first search query;
obtaining first feature information associated with the first feature from a first data structure;
generating first feature content associated with the first feature,
wherein the first feature content is configured to provide the first feature information; and

causing, by the device, the content to include the first feature content by embedding data associated with the first feature content in the stream,
wherein the content is configured to include the first feature content when a user interface of the first device displays one or more of the images that include the first feature.
