Abstract
Content interaction technology, in which data used in defining a point of interest that supplements content arranged in a channel is accessed. The accessed data defines timing information that indicates when the point of interest is used, output information that defines how the point of interest is output, and action information that defines one or more actions that occur based on user interaction with the point of interest. The point of interest is defined based on the timing information, the output information, and the action information and associated with the channel and/or a content link arranged in the channel. During a time at which a user has selected the channel, output of the point of interest in addition to content defined by the channel is controlled. An indication that the user interacted with the point of interest is received and an action defined by the action information is performed.
