Systems and methods for generating a selective distribution of media content feeds

摘要

Aspects relate to systems and methods for generating a selective distribution of media content feeds. A content server can identify a set of mobile video cameras or other sources for delivery to a mobile device, based on a state of motion or orientation of the mobile device. Media content can be collected from video-equipped cellular devices capable of reporting their position, bearing, speed, and other sensor data. In one aspect, the position, bearing, and speed of the mobile device along with similar data for the media sources can be taken into account to generate a media envelope, or included set of media devices, to make available to the user. In one aspect, the selected content can be based on the compass orientation of a sensor in the mobile device. In one implementation, user preferences along with other access criteria can be used to further select content feeds.

主权项

1. A method of identifying content for delivery to a mobile device, comprising:
receiving, at a server, a message that includes a set of attributes associated with the mobile device, wherein the set of attributes comprise at least one of position, speed, and direction data for the mobile device or compass orientation data for a sensor of the mobile device; identifying, by the server, a set of media sources available in a network; and identifying, by the server, content available from at least a subset of the set of media sources for delivery to the mobile device based on access criteria comprising at least one of:
(a) the position, speed, and direction data for the mobile device, wherein the mobile device generates the position, speed, and direction data, or(b) the compass orientation data for the sensor of the mobile device.
