Abstract:
Provided is a method, performed by a web browser, for identifying and displaying content, the method including receiving a webpage including text, comparing the text to titles of media content in a media content database, based on the comparison, identifying a subset of text as a match to a title of a matching media content, based on identifying the subset of text, modifying a display of the webpage by inserting a visual indicator into the webpage in proximity to the subset of text, or modifying the display of the subset of text, detecting an interaction of a user-controlled input with the inserted visual indicator or the modified display of the subset of text, and displaying a popup interface over a portion of the webpage, the popup interface displaying additional information about the matching media content and a selectable user-interface element to play the matching media content.
