Claim 16:
17. A system for automated user-responsive video content delivery, the system comprising:
a set of processors;
a processor-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed, cause the set of processors to perform steps comprising:
outputting video content to a user via a playback device, the video content temporally associated with content-of-interest (COI) identifiers, such that each COI identifier is defined as actively relevant during a respective playback time window of the video content, each COI identifier corresponding to respective sub-content that is displayed as part of the video content for a respective display duration, each COI associated with a respective stickiness, with a relevance window that includes the respective display duration and extends beyond the respective display duration by an amount of time based on the respective stickiness, and with respective response data;
detecting receipt of dynamic input from the user at a detection time by monitoring a sensor system during the outputting, the detected dynamic input comprising dynamic audio information detected by monitoring interaction by the user with an audio input sensor of the sensor system;
identifying a set of presently active COI identifiers as those of the COI identifiers having respective relevance windows that intersect with the detection time;
analyzing the dynamic input according to the set of presently active COI identifiers automatically to generate a COI query corresponding to at least one of the set of presently active COI identifiers based on determining that the dynamic audio information corresponds to interest by the user in content associated with the at least one of the set of presently active COI identifiers;
generating a query response automatically responsive to the COI query based on the respective response data of the at least one of the set of presently active COI identifiers; and
outputting the query response to the user via the playback device as responsive to the detecting.
