Abstract

A remote experience system is presented. The system can include a feed aggregation engine configured to obtain a plurality of feeds from feed acquiring devices associated with an event. The feed aggregation engine can obtain an experience policy related to the event and construct an experience feed having an arrangement of the plurality of feeds according to the experience policy. The experience feed can be presented to a user via an experience feed interface, and can include an indication of a focal or other cluster.

Claims (33)

1. A remote experience interface system for presenting to a user a subset of a plurality of feeds obtained from a plurality of feed acquiring devices, the system comprising:

a conflict resolution engine comprising a system manager and a broadcaster configured to:

determine if a conflict exists between the system manager and the broadcaster, wherein the conflict comprises a compensation distribution between the system manager and the broadcaster; and

responsive to determining that a conflict exists, resolve the conflict based on one or more conflict parameters, wherein resolving the conflict comprises implementing an action subject to one or more policies to be executed by the broadcaster;

a feed aggregation engine coupled with the plurality of feed acquiring devices, and configured to generate (a) a location metric, (b) a focal metric, and (c) an emotion metric for each of the plurality of feeds, wherein each emotion metric is generated from images captured by a video feed; and

an experience feed interface coupled with the feed aggregation engine, and configured to:

receive a request for a specific feed based on a desired location metric, a desired focal metric, and a desired emotion metric;

present to the user the subset of the plurality of feeds to the user based upon (a) the desired location metric, (b) the desired focal metric, (c) the desired emotional metric and (d) emotional data provided by the user;

determine subject matter contained in the subset of the plurality of feeds to select an interactive advertisement; and

display the interactive advertisement with a user interface.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the experience feed interface is further configured to present a modified subset of the plurality of feeds to the user based on a focal metric received by the user, wherein each of the subset of the plurality of feeds comprises a cluster indicator that provides an indication of a match to the desired focal metric.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the subset of a plurality of feeds is dynamic.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein each emotion metric is generated as a function of a number of smiling people detected by each corresponding video feed.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feed acquiring devices include at least one of the following: a smart phone, a tablet, a virtual reality glasses, a vehicle, a fixed sensor point, and a security camera.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feed aggregation engine is further configured to obtain an experience policy related to an event, and the experience policy comprises a user defined policy.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feed aggregation engine is further configured to obtain an experience policy related to an event, and the experience policy comprises rules governing a right of publicity.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feed aggregation engine is further configured to obtain an experience policy related to an event, and is further configured to derive experience dimensions from the experience policy, and generate at least one of the location metric and focal metric based on the experience policy, the plurality of feeds and the experience dimensions.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the experience dimension comprises at least one of the following dimensions: a relationship dimension, a physical location dimension, a relevancy dimension, a proximity dimension, a ranking dimension, a rating dimension, an emotional dimension, and a sensory modality dimension.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feed aggregation engine is further configured to obtain an experience policy related to an event, and the experience policy is governed at least in part by a user request.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feed aggregation engine is further configured to obtain an experience policy related to an event, and the experience policy is governed at least in part by a user bid.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feed aggregation engine is further configured to obtain an experience policy related to an event, and the experience policy comprises a user selected location preference, and wherein the location metric is generated based at least in part on the user selected location preference.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feed aggregation engine is further configured to obtain an experience policy related to an event, and the experience policy comprises a user selected focal point preference, and wherein the focal metric is generated based at least in part on the user selected focal point preference.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feed aggregation engine is further configured to generate a feed radar, wherein the experience feed interface is further configured to present a representation of the feed radar to the user.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the representation illustrates where the primary and peripheral feeds originate in relation to one another.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the experience feed interface is configured to support at least one of a zoom and a shift in point of view.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the at least one of the zoom and the shift in point of view can be initiated by a viewer of the interface.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the at least one of the zoom and the shift in point of view can be initiated automatically based on contextual data associated with a viewer of the interface.

19. The system of claim 1 , wherein the experience feed interface is configured to support a time shift comprising at least one of a rewind, a fast forward, a pause, and a stop.

20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the experience feed interface is configured to present an indication of a presence of a critical mass at the venue.

21. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feed aggregation engine is further configured to store at least one of the plurality of feeds for presentation at a later time.

22. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a system management interface coupled to the feed aggregation engine.

23. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a broadcaster management interface coupled to the feed aggregation engine.

24. The system of claim 1 , wherein the conflict parameters are selected from a group consisting of: default term in an agreement between the system manager and the broadcaster, a policy-based restriction, a transaction history, a ranking, a timing of an input, a loyalty of the user, a loyalty of the broadcaster, a loyalty of the system manager, a preference of the user, a preference of the system manager, and a preference of the broadcaster.
