Abstract:

An interactive video player includes the capturing of one or more frames of active video. While the active video is displayed in a first or primary display, a captured frame may be displayed in a secondary display. In response to user input, one or more elements within the frame may be highlighted or otherwise designated. In a third display or portion of a visible screen, user input commands may provide for the input or retrieval of product information associated with the highlighted component. Therefore, in the display, the active video may be maintained, with a display of the captured frame and the display of the product information. Additionally, the product information may be additionally linked to the captured frame and/or the active video, such that if additional users view the active video, they may be able to view the product information.
