Activating a video based on location in screen

Abstract

Providing a method for browsing portions of videos called video previews. The video previews may be associated with a link or predefined duration of a full video, such that the video preview is generated from a portion of the full video and viewed by a user. The video previews are configured to play a series of images associated with images from the portion of the full video when the video preview is activated.

         20 . A method of browsing videos, the method comprising:
 receiving a video, wherein the video comprises a set of images;   receiving, by a computing device, a frame object for displaying the video, wherein the set of images are played within the frame object when the frame object is located at a particular location on a display in a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device;   displaying, by the computing device, a series of frame objects in the GUI, the series including the frame object, wherein the GUI allows motion of the frame objects in the GUI;   identifying, by the computing device, that the frame object has moved to a particular location on the display in the GUI; and   playing, by the computing device, the video within the frame object in response to identifying that the frame object moves to a particular location on the display in the GUI.   
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the video is a first video, the frame object is a first frame object, and the method further comprises:
 receiving a second video;   receiving a second frame object for displaying the second video;   displaying the second frame object next to the first frame object in the GUI; and   in response to identifying that the second frame object is located at the particular location on the display in the GUI of the computing device, playing the second video within the second frame object.   
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising stopping the first video from playing when the second frame object is located at the particular location on the display in the GUI. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein a user touches a surface of the computing device that displays the GUI and swipes the screen to move the second frame location to the particular location on the display and play the second video. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein a section of the first frame object is displayed while the second frame object is displayed, so that at least a portion of the first and second frame objects are displayed by the GUI simultaneously. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising:
 in response to identifying that the first frame object is located at the particular location on the display in the GUI of the computing device, fading a first audio file out, wherein the first audio file is associated with the first video; and   fading a second audio file in, wherein the second audio file is associated with the second video.   
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 20 , further comprising in response to receiving a selection of the frame object from a user, playing a full video that corresponds to the video, wherein the full video includes at least a portion of the set of images in the video. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the video plays independent of a receiving an activation of the video from a user. 
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the frame object is activated by placing a selection device in a substantially close proximity to a location of the frame object. 
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 28 , wherein the selection device is a finger. 
     
     
         30 . The method of  claim 28 , wherein the selection device is a mouse pointer. 
     
     
         31 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the frame object is selected by placing a selection device in a substantially close proximity to a location of the frame object, and clicking the frame object. 
     
     
         32 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the frame object is selected by placing a selection device in a substantially close proximity to a location of the frame object, and tapping the frame object. 
     
     
         33 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the video comprises less than five percent of the images from a full video. 
     
     
         34 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the frame object is a first frame object and the method further comprises:
 associating the first frame object with a composite of videos, wherein the composite of videos includes one or more frame objects that move together when one of the frame objects is moved in the GUI;   displaying a second frame object that is not part of the composite of videos, wherein the second frame object displays a second video; and   in response to identifying that the composite of videos is located at the particular location in the GUI of the computing device, playing the videos associated with the composite of videos.   
     
     
         35 . The method of  claim 34 , wherein the videos associated with the composite of videos play simultaneously and not playing the second video associated with the second frame object. 
     
     
         36 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the frame object is located at the particular location when the GUI is originally displayed by the computing device. 
     
     
         37 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the frame object is a first frame object and the method further comprises:
 in response to selecting the first frame object, providing a second frame object that displays additional content that corresponds to the video, wherein the second frame object is displayed in the GUI.   
     
     
         38 . A computer product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions that when executed control a computer system to browsing videos, the instructions comprising:
 receiving a video, wherein the video comprises a set of images;   receiving a frame object for displaying the video, wherein the set of images are played within the frame object when the frame object is located at a particular location on a display in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computing device;   displaying a series of frame objects in the GUI, the series including the frame object, wherein the GUI allows motion of the frame objects in the GUI;   identifying that the frame object has moved to a particular location on the display in the GUI; and   playing the video within the frame object in response to identifying that the frame object moves to a particular location on the display in the GUI.
