Abstract

Machines, systems, and methods are provided for receiving, from a plurality of users, a plurality of messages, each message comprising audio content and video content taken by each of the plurality of users. For each message of the plurality of messages, the machines, systems, and method determine whether audio fingerprints of the audio content of the message correspond to a designated gallery comprising video content constructed to comprise a sequence of videos from a plurality of users set to an audio time line, and based on determining that the audio fingerprints of the audio content message correspond to the designated gallery, determine an audio segment of the audio time line of the designated gallery to which the audio content of the message corresponds. The machines, systems, and methods add the video content from the message to the audio time line of the designated gallery at the audio segment to which the audio content of the message corresponds.

Claims (47)

1. A machine, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executed by the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a plurality of users, a plurality of messages, each message comprising audio content and video content taken by each of the plurality of users;

for each message of the plurality of messages:

determining whether audio fingerprints of the audio content of the message correspond to a designated gallery comprising video content constructed to comprise a sequence of videos from a plurality of users set to an audio time line;

based on determining that the audio fingerprints of the audio content message correspond to the designated gallery, determining an audio segment of the audio time line of the designated gallery to which the audio content of the message corresponds; and

adding the video content from the message to the audio time line of the designated gallery at the audio segment to which the audio content of the message corresponds.

2. The machine of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

sending enrollment prompts to a user associated with a first message of the plurality of messages;

receiving an enrollment request from the user for the designated gallery; and

registering the user with the designated gallery.

3. The machine of claim 2 , wherein sending the enrollment prompts to the user are in response to determining that the audio fingerprints correspond to the designated gallery.

4. The machine of claim 2 , wherein sending the enrollment prompts to the user are in response to an express request from the user to enroll in the designated gallery.

5. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the designated gallery is available for a specified transitory period of Lime.

6. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the designated gallery is associated with a band, a song, a narrative, a speech, or a dialog.

7. The machine of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

causing payment to be initiated to a sender of a first message of the plurality of messages when the video content of the first message is added to the audio time line.

8. The machine of claim 1 , wherein adding the video content from the message to the audio time line of the designated gallery at the audio segment to which the audio content of the message corresponds further comprises adding the audio content of the message to the audio time line of the designated gallery at the audio segment to which the audio content of the message corresponds.

9. The machine of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

providing the designated gallery to a computing device upon request from the computing device.

10. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, from a plurality of users, a plurality of messages, each message comprising audio content and video content taken by each of the plurality of users;

for each message of the plurality of messages:

determining whether audio fingerprints of the audio content of the message correspond to a designated gallery comprising video content constructed to comprise a sequence of videos from a plurality of users set to an audio time line;

based on determining that the audio fingerprints of the audio content message correspond to the designated gallery, determining an audio segment of the audio time line of the designated gallery to which the audio content of the message corresponds; and

adding the video content from the message to the audio time line of the designated gallery at the audio segment to which the audio content of the message corresponds.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:

sending enrollment prompts to a user associated with a first message of the plurality of messages;

receiving an enrollment request from the user for the designated gallery; and

registering the user with the designated gallery.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein sending the enrollment prompts to the user are in response to determining that the audio fingerprints correspond to the designated gallery.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein sending the enrollment prompts to the user are in response to an express request from the user to enroll in the designated gallery.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the designated gallery is available for a specified transitory period of time.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the designated gallery is associated with a band, a song, a narrative, a speech, or a dialog.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:

causing payment to be initiated to a sender of a first message of the plurality of messages when the video content of the first message is added to the audio time line.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein adding the video content from the message to the audio time line of the designated gallery at the audio segment to which the audio content of the message corresponds further comprises adding the audio content of the message to the audio time line of the designated gallery at the audio segment to which the audio content of the message corresponds.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:

providing the designated gallery to a computing device upon request from the computing device.

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a plurality of users, a plurality of messages, each message comprising audio content and video content taken by each of the plurality of users;

for each message of the plurality of messages:

determining whether audio fingerprints of the audio content of the message correspond to a designated gallery comprising video content constructed to comprise a sequence of videos from a plurality of users set to an audio time line;

based on determining that the audio fingerprints of the audio content message correspond to the designated gallery, determining an audio segment of the audio time line of the designated gallery to which the audio content of the message corresponds; and

adding the video content from the message to the audio time line of the designated gallery at the audio segment to which the audio content of the message corresponds.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein adding the video content from the message to the audio time line of the designated gallery at the audio segment to which the audio content of the message corresponds further comprises adding the audio content of the message to the audio time line of the designated gallery at the audio segment to which the audio content of the message corresponds.
