Method of and System for Automatic Compilation of Crowdsourced Digital Media Productions

摘要

A method of and system for automatic compilation of crowdsourced digital media productions is presented. A system for automated compilation of a digital media program includes interfaces that receive audio/video information, associated temporal information, associated digital device metadata, and media characteristic preference information. The system includes a repository for the digital media input and associated digital device metadata. The system further includes a module that analyzes digital device metadata associated with individual digital media inputs from at least two different recording devices and selects between overlapping portions of the media inputs based on comparing digital device metadata associated with the individual digital media inputs with the media characteristic preference information. The system also includes a digital media editor module that compiles the selected portions of the individual digital media inputs into a digital media program and an output interface that provides access to the digital media program.

主权项

1. A system for analysis of individual digital media inputs and automated compilation of a digital media program, the system comprising:
a digital media interface that receives an individual digital media input, the individual digital media input including at least one of audio and video information and associated temporal information captured by a recording device; a metadata interface that receives digital device metadata associated with the individual digital media input, the digital metadata including at least (i) information derived from at least one sensor of the recording device that characterizes a physical attribute of the recording device at the time said recording device captured the individual digital media input, and (ii) information temporally associating the sensor data with the individual digital media input; a source data repository that stores the information of the individual digital media input and associated digital device metadata; a preference interface that receives media characteristic preference information; a metadata analyzer module that analyzes digital device metadata associated with individual digital media inputs from at least two different recording devices, the digital media inputs having at least one temporally overlapping portion, and the metadata analyzer module selecting between the overlapping portions based on comparing digital device metadata associated with the individual digital media inputs with the media characteristic preference information; a digital media editor module that compiles the selected portions of the individual digital media inputs into a digital media program; an output interface that provides access to the digital media program.
