In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining a link to a video program; obtaining metadata that relates to the program and that defines, for a specified time point in the program, annotations to be invoked at the specified time point; wherein the annotations comprise: a graphic image; one or more filters, each of the filters comprising a key and one or more matching values; and optionally a reference to a video segment, an electronic document, program code statements, or a programmatic call; during playing the video, detecting that the video program is playing at the specified time point; in response to the detecting: for each particular annotation for the specified time point, retrieving a current value for the key, and causing to display the graphic image associated with that particular annotation only when the current value of the key matches one of the matching values of one of the filters.

Code execution in complex audiovisual experiences

In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining metadata that relates to a video program and that defines, for one or more specified time points in the video program, one or more web services to be invoked at those time points; generating and displaying, on a computer, a video window that is configured to play the video program; during playing the video program on a computer, detecting that the video program is playing at one of the time points and determining an identifier of a particular web service associated with that one of the time points; in response to the detecting, causing the computer to invoke the particular web service.

Playing and editing linked and annotated audiovisual works

A computer-implemented method comprises determining, at a companion device separate from a television, a current time point of a video program playing at the television, wherein the current time point of the video program is a time point currently being displayed at the television; identifying, based on said determination of the current time point of the video program and based on metadata defining a cue point associated with the determined current time point and an operation associated with the cue point, an operation to be performed; performing, at the companion device, the identified operation; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.

Associating media using metadata and controlling multiple-device synchronization and rendering

Switched annotations in playing audiovisual works

A clip used to attach vertical and horizontal members of a fencing assembly is provided. The clip includes three resilient legs and enables fencing assemblies to be constructed on site without the use of screws or welding. Configurations for vertical and horizontal members of a fencing assembly that can be used in conjunction with the clip. Methods of assembly are provided as well.
