Abstract

Claims (50)

1 - 84 . (canceled)

85 . A method comprising:

receiving a request for transmitting content relating to a collaborated content to a first device, the collaborated content comprising one or more media clips of an event attached with information on a context regarding capturing of the media clips;

obtaining information on the context of the first device;

determining a viewpoint of the first device in the collaborated content on the basis of a relationship between the context of the first device and the context regarding capturing of the media clips; and

generating an event composition from the one or more media clips of the collaborated content representing the determined viewpoint.

86 . A method of claim 85 , wherein the information on context regarding capturing of the media clips comprises information of a constellation of one or more devices which captured the media clips.

87 . A method of claim 86 further comprising obtaining information on the context of a second device.

88 . A method of claim 87 further comprising forming a positional network between the first device and the second device.

89 . A method of claim 87 further comprising:

using the information on the context of the first device and the information on the context of the second device to determine the constellation of the first device and the second device; and

comparing the determined constellation with the information of the constellation of one or more devices which captured the media clips to determine which devices in the constellation of one or more devices which captured the media clips correspond with the constellation of the first device and the second device.

90 . A method of claim 89 further comprising:

using the information of a constellation of one or more devices which captured the media clips to determine a first distance representative of a distance between at least two devices which captured the media clips;

using the constellation of the first device and the second device to determine a second distance representative of a distance between the first device and the second device; and

determining a scaling factor on the basis of the first distance and the second distance.

91 . A method of claim 85 further comprising:

receiving information of changes of context of the first device; and

reflecting the changes in the first device in the generation of the event composition.

92 . A method of claim 91 , wherein the information on changes of context of the first device comprises information regarding at least one of the following:

a change of the location of the first device;

a change of the inclination angle of the first device;

a gesture entered by a user of the first device and detected by a user interface of the first device.

93 . A method of claim 85 further comprising:

synthesizing the event composition on the basis of two or more media clips of the collaborated content, if the relationship between the context of the first device and the context regarding capturing of the media clip indicates that a media clip corresponding to the determined viewpoint does not exist in the collaborated content.

94 . A method of claim 85 further comprising selecting a media clip captured at a viewpoint nearest the viewpoint of the first device to the event composition, if the relationship between the context of the first device and the context regarding capturing of the media clip indicates that a media clip corresponding to the determined viewpoint does not exist in the collaborated content.

95 . A method of claim 85 , obtaining the information on the context of the first device comprising receiving from the first device an indication of a selection of the viewpoint.

96 . A method of claim 87 , obtaining the information on the context of the second device comprising receiving from the second device an indication of a selection of a viewpoint of the second device.

97 . A method of claim 85 , wherein the media clips of the event comprises at least a video clip.

98 . 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 to perform at least the following:

receive a request for transmitting content relating to a collaborated content to a first device, the collaborated content comprising one or more media clips of an event attached with information on a context regarding capturing of the media clips;

obtain information on the context of the first device;

determine a viewpoint of the first device in the collaborated content on the basis of a relationship between the context of the first device and the context regarding capturing of the media clips; and

generate an event composition from the one or more media clips of the collaborated content representing the determined viewpoint.

99 . An apparatus of claim 98 , wherein the information on context regarding capturing of the media clips comprising information of a constellation of one or more devices which captured the media clips.

100 . An apparatus of claim 98 further comprising computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to:

receive information of changes of context of the first device; and

reflect the changes in the first device in the generation of the event composition.

101 . An apparatus of claim 98 further comprising computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to:

synthesize the event composition on the basis of two or more media clips of the collaborated content, if the relationship between the context of the first device and the context regarding capturing of the media clip indicates that a media clip corresponding to the determined viewpoint does not exist in the collaborated content.

102 . An apparatus of claim 98 further comprising computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to select a media clip captured at a viewpoint nearest the viewpoint of the first device to the event composition, if the relationship between the context of the first device and the context regarding capturing of the media clip indicates that a media clip corresponding to the determined viewpoint does not exist in the collaborated content.

103 . An apparatus of claim 98 , obtaining the information on the context of the first device comprising computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to receive from the first device an indication of a selection of the viewpoint.

104 . A method comprising:

transmitting a request for content relating to a collaborated content to a device, the collaborated content comprising one or more media clips of an event attached with information on a context regarding capturing of the media clips;

transmitting information on the context of the device for determination of a viewpoint of the device in the collaborated content on the basis of a relationship between the context of the device and the context regarding capturing of the media clips; and

receiving an event composition generated from the one or more media clips of the collaborated content representing the determined viewpoint.

105 . 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 to perform at least the following:

transmit a request for content relating to a collaborated content to a device, the collaborated content comprising one or more media clips of an event attached with information on a context regarding capturing of the media clips;

transmit information on the context of the device for determination of a viewpoint of the device in the collaborated content on the basis of a relationship between the context of the device and the context regarding capturing of the media clips; and

receive an event composition generated from the one or more media clips of the collaborated content representing the determined viewpoint.
