Abstract:
1. A method comprising: identifying, by an apparatus at a user premises, a presentation of an addressable video stream to a user by a first user device at the user premises; detecting by the apparatus, relative to the presentation, whether the user has supplied a user input to at least one user input device at the user premises, the user input device distinct from the first user device and not related to the presentation of the addressable video stream by the first user device, the user input distinct from any display control command used for controlling the presentation, the user input representing content that is generated by the user using a service, distinct from the presentation, for delivery of the content to a destination external to the user premises; the apparatus selectively associating the user input detected relative to the presentation with a corresponding identified position of the addressable video stream; and generating, by the apparatus, a data structure enabling identification of an attention level by the user toward the identified position of the addressable video stream, the data structure specifying an identifier for the addressable video stream, at least one user input, and the corresponding identified position.
