Systems and methods for creating rated and curated spectator feeds
View Patent ↗Methods and systems for a media guidance application that may enhance viewer experience. The media guidance application may receive video assets from content capture devices at different locations, determine characteristics of the media assets and assign content tags, corresponding to the characteristics, to the media assets. The media guidance application may receive a video-feed request from another location and determine video feed criterion associated with the request. The media guidance application may use a database to determine media assets with characteristics matching the video feed criterion, and may generate for display the media assets in a video feed.
1. A method for creating personalized video feeds, the method comprising:
receiving, at a server, a first video asset from a first content capture device of a first user at a first location and a second video asset from a second content capture device of a second user at a second location, the first location corresponding to a live event, wherein the second location is remote to the first location and the second user is part of a plurality of users, and wherein a first video feed of the live event is being generated and transmitted by a content provider simultaneously to the plurality of users;
automatically determining, in near-real time, a first characteristic of the first video asset and assigning a first content tag to the first video asset corresponding to the first characteristic and determining, in near-real time, a second characteristic of the second video asset and assigning a second content tag to the second video asset corresponding to the second characteristic;
receiving a third content tag from the first video asset or the second video asset, wherein the third content tag corresponds to a third characteristic which identifies a human curator;
in response to determining a level of uncertainty associated with the first video or the second video is above a threshold, providing the first video asset or second video asset to the human curator to approve or edit the first or second content tag;
receiving a video-feed request from a third user at a third location;
processing the video feed request from the third location to determine a video feed criterion;
inputting the video feed criterion into a database listing characteristics that meet criteria to determine that the first characteristic and the second characteristic meet the video feed criterion; and
in response to determining that the first characteristic and the second characteristic meet the video feed criterion:
automatically generating for display a second video feed on a display device at the third location, wherein the second video feed includes the first video asset and the second video asset, and wherein the first video asset is generated by the first user at the first location, and the second video asset is generated by the second user at the second location; and
presenting the second video feed to the third user at the third location concurrently with the first video feed of the live event generated by the content provider.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising accessing a user profile; and retrieving from the user profile the video feed criterion.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the video feed criterion from user behavior.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising determining that a video feed is public; and sharing the video feed with other users.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second video feed is generated for display in a picture-in-picture window on the display device.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second video feed is generated for display on a display device at a fourth location.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein user characteristics include any of actor, genre, year, content filter, and age rating.
8. A system for creating personalized video feeds, the system comprising:
communications circuitry; and
control circuitry that:
receives, from the communications circuitry, a first video asset from a first content capture device of a first user at a first location and a second video asset from a second content capture device of a second user at a second location, the first location corresponding to a live event wherein the second location is remote to the first location and the second user is part of a plurality of users, and wherein a first video feed of the live event is being generated and transmitted by a content provider simultaneously to plurality of users;
automatically determines, in near-real time, a first characteristic of the first video asset and assigning a first content tag to the first video asset corresponding to the first characteristic and determine, in near-real time, a second characteristic of the second video asset and assigning a second content tag to the second video asset corresponding to the second characteristic;
receiving a third content tag from the first video asset or the second video asset, wherein the third content tag corresponds to a third characteristic which identifies a human curator;
in response to determining a level of uncertainty associated with the first video or the second video is above a threshold, providing the first video asset or second video asset to the human curator to approve or edit the first or second content tag;
receives, from the communications circuitry, a video-feed request from a third user at a third location;
processes the video feed request from the third location to determine a video feed criterion;
inputs the video feed criterion into a database listing characteristics that meet criteria to determine that the first characteristic and the second characteristic meet the video feed criterion; and
in response to determining that the first characteristic and the second characteristic meet the video feed criterion:
automatically generates for display a second video feed on a display device at the third location, wherein the second video feed includes including the first video asset and the second video asset and wherein the first video asset is generated by the first user at the first location, and the second video asset is generated by the second user at the second location presents the second video feed to the third user at the third location concurrently with the first video feed of the live event generated by the content provider.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the control circuitry accesses a user profile; and retrieve from the user profile the video feed criterion.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the control circuitry determines the video feed criterion from user behavior.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the control circuitry determines that a video feed is public; and sharing the video feed with other users.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second video feed is generated for display in a picture-in-picture window on the display device.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second video feed is generated for display on a display device at a fourth location.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein user characteristics include any of actor, genre, year, content filter, and age rating.
