Automated aggregation of related media content

摘要

Systems and methods for media aggregation are disclosed herein. The system includes a media system that can transform user generated media items into at least one aggregated media item. A synchronization component can synchronize media items with respect to time. Synchronized media items can be analyzed and transformed into an aggregated media item for storage and/or display. In addition, the aggregated media item is capable of being manipulated to create an enhanced and customizable viewing and/or listening experience. Accordingly, media item aggregation can be accomplished.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with computer executable components; a processor that executes the following computer executable components encoded in the non-transitory computer readable medium:
an identification component that automatically identifies a subset of media items, among a set of media items, wherein the subset of media items comprise at least two media items comprising respective recordings from distinct recording devices at a common event;a synchronization component that:
identifies at least one of audio or video characteristics of the subset of media items indicative of respective points in time on a common timeline;synchronizes the subset of media items based upon the at least one of audio or video characteristics onto the common timeline into a set of synchronized media items;an analyzer component that analyzes segments of media items of the set of synchronized media items and ranks the segments in each of a plurality of time periods of the common timeline according to a criteria; andan aggregation component that aggregates a highest ranked segment from each time period to generate a new media item.
