Abstract

A method of sharing an experience between a tapper and a content provider is provided. In this method, at least two interfaces are provided that are configured to allow the tapper and the content provider to join a content sharing community. A third interface is also provided to allow the tapper to select the content provider from a map where at least one of the tapper and the content provider are unknown to the other prior to the tapper selecting the content provider. Then a solicitation is conveyed from the tapper to the content provider to provide a video feed. In response to the solicitation, a video feed derived from a device operated or carried by the content provider is provided to the tapper. From a video feed, an object is recognized, and the video feed is conveyed to the tapper according to the privacy policy derived from the object.

Claims (14)

1. A method of sharing an experience between a tapper and a content provider, comprising:

providing at least first and second interfaces, configured to allow the tapper and the content provider to join a content sharing community;

providing at least a third interface configured to allow the tapper to select the content provider from a map, and wherein at least one of the tapper and the content provider are unknown to the other prior to the tapper selecting the content provider;

conveying a solicitation from the tapper to the content provider to provide a video feed of an event;

obtaining a video feed derived from a device operated or carried by the content provider, wherein the video feed comprises a near-real time, first-person experience of an environment of the content provider;

recognizing, by one or more computer processors, an object in the video feed;

determining an experience policy for the video feed based at least in part on the recognized object, wherein the experience policy comprises one or more rules associated with a compensation scheme associated with a content provider,

using historical behavioral data of the content provider to determine the compensation scheme for the content provider for at least one bid from at least one tapper.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising aborting the conveyance of the video feed to the tapper according to the experience policy.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising conveying the video feed to the tapper based on both the experience policy and a profile of the tapper.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a fourth interface that allows a manager of the event, who is different from the tapper and the content provider, to generate the experience policy for an object.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising providing a fourth interface through which a fee is paid to the manager for conveyance of at least one intellectual property right with respect to the event or the video feed.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the experience policy comprises a fee policy.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising providing a fourth interface that allows the tapper to pay a monetary amount in exchange for access to the video feed.
