Abstract

Computerized collaborative network tools configured to allow users to, inter alia, create, collaborate and/or distribute media content, including video media content. Systems and processes therefor include a workspace component comprising: a media timeline configured to be associated with a media item displayed on a graphic user interface and a discussion component associated with the media timeline. A discussion component can include a commenting component configured to allow a user to create a comment and a time-coding component configured to associate the comment with at least one of a time point or time range in the media timeline.

Claims

A network computer comprising
a transceiver for communicating over a network;

a memory that has stored thereon computer executable components;

a processor that is operative to execute computer executable components stored in the memory, including:
a workspace component comprising:
a media timeline configured to be associated with a media item displayed on a graphic user interface; and

a discussion component associated with the media timeline.
The network computer of claim 1, the discussion component comprising:
a commenting component configured to allow a user to create a comment; and

a time-coding component configured to associate the comment with at least one of a time point or time range in the media timeline.
The network computer of claim 2, the commenting component further comprising:
a threading component configured to allow a user to create a threaded commentary within an existing comment.
The network computer of claim 2, the commenting component further comprising:
a categorization component configured to allow a user to create one or more comment categories associated with one or more comments.
The network computer of claim 2, the commenting component further comprising:
an organization component configured to organize comments by one or more features.
The network computer of claim 5, wherein the features include at least one of a comment category, user, or time.
The network computer of claim 1, the workspace component further comprising:
a collaboration component configured to allow one or more users to view and optionally edit the media item.
The network computer of claim 7, wherein the collaboration component is configured to allow one or more users to simultaneously view, edit, or comment in real time.
The network computer of claim 7, the collaboration component further comprising a conferencing component.
The network computer of claim 7, wherein the collaboration component is configured to assign one or more users a set of permissions that controls a user's access and participation.
A system for collaboration over a network, comprising:a network computer comprising
a transceiver for communicating over the network;

a memory that has stored thereon computer executable components;

a processor that is operative to execute computer executable components stored in the memory, including,
a workspace component comprising,
a media timeline configured to be associated with a media item displayed on the graphic user interface; and

a discussion component associated with the media timeline comprising,
a commenting component configured to allow a user to create a comment, including one or more of

a threading component configured to allows a user to create a threaded commentary within existing comments;

a categorization component configured to allow a user to create one or more comment categories associated with one or more comments;

an organization component configured to organize comments by one or more features; and

a time-coding component configured to associate the comment with at least one of a time point or time range in the media timeline.
A method being performed by a computer system that comprises one or more processors, a memory operatively coupled to at least one of the processors, and a computer-readable storage medium encoded with components executable by at least one of the processors and operatively coupled to at least one of the processors, the method comprising:
presenting, via a workspace component, a media timeline configured to be associated with a media item displayed on a graphic user interface;

presenting, via a discussion component,
a commenting object configured to allow a user to create a comment; and

associating the comment with at least one of a time point or time range in the media timeline.
The method of claim 12, further comprising:
presenting a threading input to allow a user to create a threaded commentary within an existing comment.
The method of claim 12, further comprising:
presenting a categorization component configured to allow a user to associate one or more comment categories with one or more comments.
The method of claim 12, further comprising:
presenting an organization component configured to allow a user to organize comments by one or more features.
The method of claim 15, wherein the features include at least one of a comment category, user, or time.
The method of claim 12, further comprising:
allowing one or more users to view and optionally edit the media item.
The method of claim 17, further comprising:
allowing one or more users to simultaneously view, edit, or comment in real time.
The method of claim 12, further comprising:
allowing one or more users to assign as set of permissions that controls a user's access and participation within the system.
