Abstract

A client process and a server process interact to allow the utilization of a video to be visualized during playback. When a video is played on a user device, the client process can detect state changes in the video player and report these state changes to the server process to allow the server process to maintain records of the video segments that were played. The server process can then use these records to calculate video utilization metrics for a particular video and report these metrics to the client process when the particular video is played on the user device. The client process in turn can generate a user interface element to represent the metrics and display the user interface element while the video is played.
