Abstract

A method of presenting media content is disclosed. A plurality of assets is received at a mobile device comprising a display and an orientation sensor. The plurality of assets comprises a first video asset associated with a first aspect ratio, and a second video asset associated with a second aspect ratio, different from the first aspect ratio. A desired aspect ratio is determined based on an output of the orientation sensor. In accordance with a determination that the desired aspect ratio is closer to the first aspect ratio than to the second aspect ratio, the first video asset is selected. In accordance with a determination that the desired aspect ratio is closer to the second aspect ratio than to the first aspect ratio, the second video asset is selected. The selected video is presented at the desired aspect ratio via the display.

Claims (76)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at a device comprising a display and an orientation sensor, a data stream including a plurality of assets, the plurality of assets including a first video asset associated with a first aspect ratio and a second video asset associated with a second aspect ratio, the second aspect ratio being different from the first aspect ratio, wherein the data stream includes a first plurality of frames corresponding to the first video asset interlaced with a second plurality of frames corresponding to the second video asset;

determining a desired aspect ratio based on an output of the orientation sensor, the desired aspect ratio being one of the first aspect ratio and the second aspect ratio;

in accordance with a determination that the desired aspect ratio is the first aspect ratio:

selecting the first plurality of frames from the interlaced frames of the data stream to extract the first video asset;

generating a first composite video based on the first video asset and a third video asset associated with the first aspect ratio, the first composite video having a first layer of video content corresponding to the first video asset and a second layer of video content corresponding to the third video asset; and

presenting, via the display, the first composite video at the first aspect ratio; and

in accordance with a determination that the desired aspect ratio is the second aspect ratio:

selecting the second plurality of frames from the interlaced frames of the data stream to extract the second video asset;

generating a second composite video based on the second video asset and a fourth video asset associated with the second aspect ratio, the second composite video having a first layer of video content corresponding to the second video asset and a second layer of video content corresponding to the fourth video asset; and

presenting, via the display, the second composite video at the second aspect ratio.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the device further comprises a speaker;

the plurality of assets further includes a first audio asset;

the first video asset is associated with the first audio asset;

the second video asset is associated with the first audio asset; and

the method further comprises presenting the first audio asset via the speaker, concurrently with presenting, via the display, the first composite video or the second composite video.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the device further comprises a speaker;

the plurality of assets further includes a first audio asset and a second audio asset, different from the first audio asset;

the first aspect ratio is associated with the first audio asset;

the second aspect ratio is associated with the second audio asset; and

the method further comprises:

in accordance with the determination that the desired aspect ratio is the first aspect ratio, presenting, via the speaker, concurrently with presenting the first composite video, the first audio asset;

in accordance with the determination that the desired aspect ratio is the second aspect ratio, presenting, via the speaker, concurrently with presenting the second composite video, the second audio asset.

4. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

an orientation sensor;

one or more processors configured to perform a method comprising:

receiving a data stream including a plurality of assets, the plurality of assets including a first video asset associated with a first aspect ratio and a second video asset associated with a second aspect ratio, the second aspect ratio being different from the first aspect ratio, wherein the data stream includes a first plurality of frames corresponding to the first video asset interlaced with a second plurality of frames corresponding to the second video asset;

determining a desired aspect ratio based on an output of the orientation sensor, the desired aspect ratio being one of the first aspect ratio and the second aspect ratio;

in accordance with a determination that the desired aspect ratio is the first aspect ratio:

selecting the first plurality of frames from the data stream to extract the first video asset;

generating a first composite video based on the first video asset and a third video asset associated with the first aspect ratio, the first composite video having a first layer of video content corresponding to the first video asset and a second layer of video content corresponding to the third video asset; and

presenting, via the display, the first composite video at the first aspect ratio; and

in accordance with a determination that the desired aspect ratio is the second aspect ratio:

selecting the second plurality of frames from the data stream to extract the second video asset;

generating a second composite video based on the second video asset and a fourth video asset, the second composite video having a first layer of video content corresponding to the second video asset and a second layer of video content corresponding to the fourth video asset; and

presenting, via the display, the second composite video at the second aspect ratio.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein:

the electronic device further comprises a speaker;

the plurality of assets further includes a first audio asset;

the first video asset is associated with the first audio asset;

the second video asset is associated with the first audio asset; and

the method further comprises presenting the first audio asset via the speaker, concurrently with presenting, via the display, the first composite video or the second composite video.

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein:

the electronic device further comprises a speaker;

the plurality of assets further includes a first audio asset and a second audio asset, different from the first audio asset;

the first aspect ratio is associated with the first audio asset;

the second aspect ratio is associated with the second audio asset; and

the method further comprises:

in accordance with the determination that the desired aspect ratio is the first aspect ratio, presenting, via the speaker, concurrently with presenting the first composite video, the first audio asset;

in accordance with the determination that the desired aspect ratio is the second aspect ratio, presenting, via the speaker, concurrently with presenting the second composite video, the second audio asset.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed via one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

receiving, at a device comprising a display and an orientation sensor, a data stream including a plurality of assets, the plurality of assets including a first video asset associated with a first aspect ratio and a second video asset associated with a second aspect ratio, the second aspect ratio being different from the first aspect ratio, wherein the data stream includes a first plurality of frames corresponding to the first video asset interlaced with a second plurality of frames corresponding to the second video asset;

determining a desired aspect ratio based on an output of the orientation sensor, the desired aspect ratio being one of the first aspect ratio and the second aspect ratio;
