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

摘要

A system and method for compiling video segments including defining an event; providing a multi-user video aggregation interface; receiving a plurality of video segments through the aggregation interface; determining event-synchronized alignment of the plurality of videos; and assembling a multi-channel video of event, the multi-channel video file configured with at least two video segments that have at least partially overlapping event-synchronized alignment.

1. A method for compiling a plurality of video segments comprising:
defining an event; providing a multi-user video aggregation interface; receiving the plurality of video segments through the aggregation interface; determining event-synchronized alignment of the plurality of video segments through aligning the plurality of video segments according to a unified audio signal of the plurality of video segments, comprising:
characterizing an identifier of each video segment of the plurality of video segments;correlating the video segment identifiers by comparing a peak correlation coefficient against a threshold correlation coefficient, wherein the peak correlation coefficient is selected from a plurality of correlation coefficients; anddetermining whether the peak correlation coefficient is greater than the threshold correlation coefficient, wherein the peak correlation coefficient greater than the threshold correlation coefficient substantially proves a relationship between at least two video segments of the plurality of video segments; assembling a multi-channel video file of the event by compiling the at least two video segments that have at least partially overlapping event-synchronized alignment, thereby forming a plurality of overlapping video segments; displaying currently available video channels in a channel selection interface based on at least one of author, location, quality, rating, or suitable property of the plurality of video segments; categorizing and grouping a plurality of non-overlapping video segments in the channel selection interface, wherein the plurality of non-overlapping video segments are formed by portions of the at least two video segments having no common event-synchronized alignment; and providing channel selection of both the plurality of overlapping video segments and the plurality of non-overlapping video segments.
