System and method for compiling and playing a multi-channel video

摘要

A system and method including retrieving a multi-channel video file with a first video segment and a second video segment; assigning a rank to the first video segment and second video segment; and rendering at least the first and second video segment in a player interface, synchronized to a timeline of the multi-channel video file, and comprising: playing the first video segment in an active stream, progressing a timeline of the multi-channel video file when video is played in the active stream, when the timeline progresses to a synchronized time of the second video segment, playing the second video segment in the active stream and displaying the first video segment as a selectable video channel if the rank of the second video segment is greater than the rank of the first video segment, and otherwise displaying the second video segment as a selectable video channel.

1. A method comprising:
retrieving a multi-channel video file with at least a first video segment and a second video segment correlating an identifier of each of the first video segment and the second video segment by comparing correlation coefficients having a peak correlation coefficient and a threshold correlation coefficient, wherein the peak correlation coefficient greater than the threshold correlation coefficient substantially proves a relationship between the first video segment and the second video segment; assigning a quantitative rank to at least the first video segment and the second video segment; and rendering at least the first video segment and the second video segment in a player interface synchronized to a timeline of the multi-channel video file, rendering step further comprising:
playing the first video segment in an active stream,progressing the timeline of the multi-channel video file when video is played in the active stream,when the timeline progresses to a synchronized time of the second video segment and the quantitative rank of the second video segment is greater than the quantitative rank of the first video segment, playing the second video segment in the active stream and displaying the first video segment as a selectable video channel, andwhen the timeline progresses to a synchronized time of the second video segment and the quantitative rank of the second video segment is less than the quantitative rank of the first video segment, displaying the second video segment as a selectable video channel.
