The notion of jumping from a, say scene context, to a browsing or app session, is for sure interesting (beyond ads). Your case certainly has appeal with the industry. I believe that a lot of stack/scientific work was done in the digital TV front, which was probably relaled to that but let's take that aside since you are probably thinking in doing this in a way that has nothing to do with the actual stream of content (TV content). I would say that your idea may be inclined to simply try to match that context/scene/code with a side application that has nothing to do with the media content.
Assuming that — I looked from this angle: the notion that a screenshot, i.e. a frozen image, is taken under said PIP moment (a pause), which could be then become an actual query to a search engine module. Where said search engine module would retrieve browsing suggestions. A very simple use case would be a scene where there is a web keyword displayed in the video, such as the @NewsXYZ over say a CNN live scene. The frozen screenshot of a scene, or a DIFF minus the background, would lead to text and other elements. These screenshot could then be sent to an OCR process, or other modern image recognition methods, which would then lead to reasonable keywords matched against this PIP/pause/screenshot/search/query, which would probably retrieve the app/Twitter/Channel etc. Marcio On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 4:53 PM, Naoki Hirata <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Josh, Joe and the rest of dev-b2g, > > Just had an idea over the holidays. > > Imagine if you're watching TV and you see ad on TV that you wanted to check > out? > You would have to type that URL in a computer while whatever else is going > on. > > What if there's a way to PIP the current program you're watching and then > browse that URL at a click of the button? > > What if even further than that if there's a way to click a button or a way > of a device, and go to that url on a laptop or a mobile device without > having to type that? > > Just thinking of ways to integrate NFC and flyweb / TV/laptop/phones.
