Customized generation of highlights show with narrative component
Customized highlight shows for sporting events, entertainment events, and/or the like, having a narrative component, are generated and presented. The events can be sporting events, entertainment events, and/or the like. For example, in the context of sporting events, a determination is made as to what types of sports, teams, leagues, players, plays, and/or the like are of interest to the user. A customized highlight show is then generated and presented, containing those specific portions of the sporting events that are likely to be of interest, arranged in a manner that is likely to be entertaining and interesting to the user and that presents a cohesive narrative.
1. A method for generating a customized highlight show, the method comprising:
identifying, by a computing system, an event;
analyzing, by the computing system, source content corresponding to the event, the source content comprising at least video data;
identifying, by the computing system, plurality of occurrences within the event based on the analyzing, the plurality of occurrences comprising a first occurrence and a second occurrence;
for each occurrence of the plurality of occurrences, generating, by the computing system, a video segment from the source content, the video segment comprising a start time and an end time;
automatically determining, by the computing system, a user's preference for transitions based on observed behavior and actions of the user;
generating, by the computing system and based on the user's preference for transitions, a customized transition between the first occurrence and the second occurrence, the customized transition withholding a portion of information about at least one of the first occurrence or the second occurrence; and
assembling, by the computing system, the customized highlight show comprising the first occurrence, the second occurrence, and the customized transition.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the customized transition comprises at least one of text, voice-over, video, audio, or graphics.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the source content comprises at least one of:
a live broadcast;
a recorded broadcast;
a video archive;
content from a web site;
content from a video-sharing site;
content stored on a server;
content stored on a mobile computing device;
content stored on a camera;
on-demand content;
content stored locally;
content captured by a device associated with a user; or
pre-curated content.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the plurality of occurrences within the event based on the analyzing comprises:
determining, by the computing system, that the plurality of occurrences support a narrative for the customized highlight show.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
automatically determining, by the computing system, a user's preference based on observed behavior and actions of the user; and
constructing, by the computing system, the narrative based on the user's preference.
6. A system comprising:
a non-transitory storage medium storing computer program instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the computer program instructions to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
identifying an event;
analyzing source content corresponding to the event, the source content comprising at least video data;
identifying plurality of occurrences within the event based on the analyzing, the plurality of occurrences comprising a first occurrence and a second occurrence;
for each occurrence of the plurality of occurrences, generating a video segment from the source content, the video segment comprising a start time and an end time;
automatically determining a user's preference for transitions based on observed behavior and actions of the user;
generating, based on the user's preference for transitions, a customized transition between the first occurrence and the second occurrence, the customized transition withholding a portion of information about at least one of the first occurrence or the second occurrence; and
assembling a customized highlight show comprising the first occurrence, the second occurrence, and the customized transition.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the customized transition comprises at least one of text, voice-over, video, audio, or graphics.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the source content comprises at least one of:
a live broadcast;
a recorded broadcast;
a video archive;
content from a web site;
content from a video-sharing site;
content stored on a server;
content stored on a mobile computing device;
content stored on a camera;
on-demand content;
content stored locally;
content captured by a device associated with a user; or
pre-curated content.
9. The system of claim 6 , wherein identifying the plurality of occurrences within the event based on the analyzing comprises:
determining that the plurality of occurrences support a narrative for the customized highlight show.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:
automatically determining a user's preference based on observed behavior and actions of the user; and
constructing the narrative based on the user's preference.
11. A non-transitory storage medium storing computer program instructions, which when executed by a processor cause operations comprising:
identifying an event;
analyzing source content corresponding to the event, the source content comprising at least video data;
identifying plurality of occurrences within the event based on the analyzing, the plurality of occurrences comprising a first occurrence and a second occurrence;
for each occurrence of the plurality of occurrences, generating a video segment from the source content, the video segment comprising a start time and an end time;
automatically determining a user's preference for transitions based on observed behavior and actions of the user;
generating, based on the user's preference for transitions, a customized transition between the first occurrence and the second occurrence, the customized transition withholding a portion of information about at least one of the first occurrence or the second occurrence; and
assembling a customized highlight show comprising the first occurrence, the second occurrence, and the customized transition.
12. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the customized transition comprises at least one of text, voice-over, video, audio, or graphics.
13. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the source content comprises at least one of:
a live broadcast;
a recorded broadcast;
a video archive;
content from a web site;
content from a video-sharing site;
content stored on a server;
content stored on a mobile computing device;
content stored on a camera;
on-demand content;
content stored locally;
content captured by a device associated with a user; or
pre-curated content.
14. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 11 , wherein identifying the plurality of occurrences within the event based on the analyzing comprises:
determining that the plurality of occurrences support a narrative for the customized highlight show.
