An apparatus for providing media mixing based on user interaction may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least receiving an indication of shared content to be provided to a plurality of group members, receiving social interaction media associated with at least one of the group members, and mixing the shared content with the social interaction media to provide mixed content having audio mixing performed based at least in part on a configuration of the social interaction media relative to the shared content on a display. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.
1 . An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
receiving an indication of shared content to be provided to a plurality of group members;
receiving social interaction media associated with at least one of the group members; and
mixing the shared content with the social interaction media to provide mixed content having audio mixing performed based at least in part on a configuration of the social interaction media relative to the shared content on a display.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to provide the mixed content to at least one remote client device associated with one of the group members.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to mix the shared content with the social interaction media by performing audio mixing for a media window based on a size of the media window.
4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform audio mixing for the media window based on the size of the media window by controlling a volume level of audio associated with the media window in direct proportion to the size of the media window.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to mix the shared content with the social interaction media by performing audio mixing for a media window based on a location of the media window on the display.
6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform audio mixing for a media window based on a location of the media window by generating location parameters descriptive of horizontal, vertical and depth parameters and utilizing spatial mixing to mix audio of the media window with at least one of the shared content or other media window content based on the location parameters.
7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to transmit location parameters from the apparatus to a service platform, the location parameters being descriptive of at least one of video coordinates for old and new locations for a media window to be moved, horizontal, vertical or depth parameters.
8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to mix the shared content with the social interaction media by tracking movement of a media window and adjusting audio mixing for the media window based on the movement of the media window.
9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is embodied at a mobile terminal.
10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is embodied at a network service platform.
11 . A method comprising:
receiving an indication of shared content to be provided to a plurality of group members;
receiving social interaction media associated with at least one of the group members; and
mixing the shared content with the social interaction media to provide mixed content having audio mixing performed based at least in part on a configuration of the social interaction media relative to the shared content on a display.
12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising providing the mixed content to at least one remote client device associated with one of the group members.
13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein mixing the shared content with the social interaction media comprises performing audio mixing for a media window based on a size of the media window or based on a location of the media window on the display.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein performing audio mixing for the media window based on the size of the media window comprises controlling a volume level of audio associated with the media window in direct proportion to the size of the media window.
15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising transmitting location parameters to a service platform, the location parameters being descriptive of at least one of video coordinates for old and new locations for a media window to be moved, horizontal, vertical or depth parameters.
16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein performing audio mixing for a media window based on a location of the media window comprises generating location parameters descriptive of horizontal, vertical and depth parameters and utilizing spatial mixing to mix audio of the media window with at least one of the shared content or other media window content based on the location parameters.
17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein mixing the shared content with the social interaction media comprises tracking movement of a media window and adjusting audio mixing for the media window based on the movement of the media window.
18 . A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising:
program code instructions for receiving an indication of shared content to be provided to a plurality of group members;
program code instructions for receiving social interaction media associated with at least one of the group members; and
program code instructions for mixing the shared content with the social interaction media to provide mixed content having audio mixing performed based at least in part on a configuration of the social interaction media relative to the shared content on a display.
19 . The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein program code instructions for mixing the shared content with the social interaction media include instructions for performing audio mixing for a media window based on a size of the media window.
20 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein program code instructions for mixing the shared content with the social interaction media include instructions for performing audio mixing for a media window based on a location of the media window on the display or instructions for tracking movement of a media window and adjusting audio mixing for the media window based on the movement of the media window.
