Abstract

A method for generating a consolidated video includes receiving a user indicated path of interest on an electronic map, determining geographical coordinates situated along the received path of interest, identifying video content that display a plurality of regions corresponding to the geographical coordinates situated along the received path of interest, filtering the identified video content into a set of video segments based on a set of user preferences, and stitching the set of video segments into one contiguous video.

Claims (39)

1. A method comprising:

receiving a user indicated path of interest on an electronic map;

determining geographical coordinates situated along the received path of interest;

identifying video content that display a plurality of regions corresponding to the geographical coordinates situated along the received path of interest;

filtering the identified video content into a set of video segments based on a set of user preferences;

identifying sections within individual video segments that correspond to the path of interest;

trimming the set of video segments to include only the identified sections within individual video segments that correspond to the path of interest; and

stitching the trimmed set of video segments into one contiguous video.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving a user indicated path of interest comprises receiving a starting location and a destination location from the user.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving a user indicated path of interest on an electronic map comprises receiving a gesture by the user to an input device that displays the electronic map.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein receiving a user indicated path of interest on an electronic map further comprises determining a direction of the user indicated path by analyzing a direction of the gesture made by the user to the input device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of user preferences is selected from a group of preferences consisting of: a recorded date of a video segment, a video service through which a video segment is available, and combinations thereof.

6. A computer program product for identifying a transformation map, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising instructions to:

receive a user indicated path of interest on an electronic map;

determine geographical coordinates situated along the received path of interest;

identify video content that display a plurality of regions corresponding to the geographical coordinates situated along the received path of interest;

filter the identified video content into a set of video segments based on a set of user preferences;

identify sections within individual video segments that correspond to the path of interest;

trim the set of video segments to include only the identified sections within individual video segments that correspond to the path of interest; and

stitch the trimmed set of video segments into one contiguous video.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein program instructions to receive a user indicated path of interest comprise instructions to receive a starting location and a destination location from the user.

8. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein program instructions to receive a user indicated path of interest on an electronic map comprise instructions to receive a gesture by the user to an input device that displays the electronic map.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein program instructions to receive a user indicated path of interest on an electronic map further comprise instructions to determine a direction of the user indicated path by analyzing a direction of the gesture made by the user to the input device.

10. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the set of user preferences is selected from a group of preferences consisting of: a recorded date of a video segment, a video service through which a video segment is available, and combinations thereof.

11. A computer system for generating a consolidated video, the computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer-readable storage media;

program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising instructions to:

receive a user indicated path of interest on an electronic map;

determine geographical coordinates situated along the received path of interest;

identify video content that display a plurality of regions corresponding to the geographical coordinates situated along the received path of interest;

filter the identified video content into a set of video segments based on a set of user preferences;

identify sections within individual video segments that correspond to the path of interest;

trim the set of video segments to include only the identified sections within individual video segments that correspond to the path of interest; and

stitch the trimmed set of video segments into one contiguous video.

12. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein program instructions to receive a user indicated path of interest comprise instructions to receive a starting location and a destination location from the user.

13. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein program instructions to receive a user indicated path of interest on an electronic map comprise instructions to receive a gesture by the user to an input device that displays the electronic map.

14. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein program instructions to receive a user indicated path of interest on an electronic map further comprise instructions to determine a direction of the user indicated path by analyzing a direction of the gesture made by the user to the input device.
