Live streaming video sharing system and related methods

摘要

A live streaming video sharing system. Implementations may include a video camera, portable computing device, video streaming server, database, application server, web server, and a portable computing device associated with a user operatively coupled together. The video camera sends a live stream of video data wirelessly to the portable computing device. The computing device associated with a user receives a live stream of video data from the web server, processes the live stream of video data, and generates a computer interface. The computer interface may include a public computer interface including a public channel and an invisible computer interface including an invisible shares channel associated with the user including an icon corresponding with one or more invisible shares, each invisible share corresponding with a live stream of video data and each invisible share not retrievable using a search form in the computer interface, the application server, and the database.

1. A method of generating and transmitting live streaming point-of-view (POV) video, the method comprising:
encoding live POV video data using a POV video camera; streaming the live POV video data into a wireless telecommunication channel to a portable computing device operatively wirelessly coupled with the video camera, the live POV video data transmitted using a first data transmission protocol; streaming the live POV video data into a wireless telecommunication channel to a video streaming server operatively coupled with the portable computing device through a wireless telecommunication channel, the live POV video data transmitted using a second data transmission protocol; in response to receiving the live POV video data, recording one or more channel characteristics associated with the live POV video and included in the live POV video data in a database operatively coupled with the video streaming server and an application server, using one of the video streaming server and the application server; streaming the live POV video data into a telecommunication channel to a computing device associated with a user using one of the video streaming server, the application server, and a web server, the live POV video data transmitted using a third data transmission protocol; and processing the live POV video data and generating a computer interface using the computing device and the one or more channel characteristics, the computer interface comprising:
if the one or more channel characteristics indicate the live POV video data is associated with a public channel, a public computer interface; andif the one or more channel characteristics indicate the live POV video data is associated with an invisible channel associated with the user, an invisible computer interface; caching the live POV video data on the application server to form a share; and providing access to another user of the system to the share on the application server using the database and the application server by generating an icon in one of the public computer interface, a private computer interface, and the invisible computer interface corresponding with the share if the share is a public share, private share, or invisible share, respectively.
