Abstract

System, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media to facilitate state-based content composite generation with respect to digitally distributed content are disclosed. Electronic communications received via interfaces may be detected. Signals of events that are specified for digital distribution from events may be detected. Data changes that are generated based on an event may be detected. A specification of criteria that apply to the data changes may be identified. A content composite may be created. An adaptable content object may be identified. The adaptable content object may be configured with a content object so that the content composite. The content composite may be output for presentation so that the endpoint media device performs an operation relating to the content composite. A signal corresponding to the operation that is indicative of activation of an interface option may be processed.

Claims (40)

1. A system comprising:

one or more processing devices; and

memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processing devices and having stored therein processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:

detecting a set of one or more electronic communications received via one or more interfaces;

detecting, from the set of one or more electronic communications, one or more signals of one or more events that are specified for digital distribution;

detecting one or more betting data changes that are generated based at least in part on at least one event of the one or more events;

scoring the at least one event based at least in part on viewership data associated with the at least one event to identify a watchability of the at least one event;

consequent to the detecting the one or more betting data changes and the scoring, creating a content composite corresponding to the at least one event; and

outputting the content composite, wherein, consequent to the outputting, an endpoint media device causes presentation of the content composite.

2. The system as recited in claim 1 , the operations further comprising causing the at least one event to be automatically recorded such that the endpoint media device has access to a recording of the at least one event.

3. The system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the automatically recording is consequent to a selection corresponding to the content composite by a user in conjunction with the presentation of the content composite.

4. The system as recited in claim 3 , the operations further comprising detecting one or more triggers corresponding to the selection corresponding to the content composite, shifting odds due to one or more developments in the at least one event, and/or one or more state changes in the at least one event.

5. The system as recited in claim 4 , the operations further comprising highlighting, marking, and/or otherwise recording one or more presentation times within the recording based at least in part on the one or more triggers.

6. The system as recited in claim 4 , the operations further comprising creating one or more selectable options for skipping to one or more segments within the recording based at least in part on the one or more triggers.

7. The system as recited in claim 4 , the operations further comprising creating one or more cuts of the recording for one or more highlights for access and viewing based at least in part on the one or more triggers.

8. A method comprising:

detecting a set of one or more electronic communications received via one or more interfaces;

detecting, from the set of one or more electronic communications, one or more signals of one or more events that are specified for digital distribution;

detecting one or more betting data changes that are generated based at least in part on at least one event of the one or more events;

scoring the at least one event based at least in part on viewership data associated with the at least one event to identify a watchability of the at least one event;

consequent to the detecting the one or more betting data changes and the scoring, creating a content composite corresponding to the at least one event; and

outputting the content composite, wherein, consequent to the outputting, an endpoint media device causes presentation of the content composite.

9. The method as recited in claim 8 , further comprising causing the at least one event to be automatically recorded such that the endpoint media device has access to a recording of the at least one event.

10. The method as recited in claim 9 , wherein the automatically recording is consequent to a selection corresponding to the content composite by a user in conjunction with the presentation of the content composite.

11. The method as recited in claim 10 , further comprising detecting one or more triggers corresponding to the selection corresponding to the content composite, shifting odds due to one or more developments in the at least one event, and/or one or more state changes in the at least one event.

12. The method as recited in claim 11 , further comprising highlighting, marking, and/or otherwise recording one or more presentation times within the recording based at least in part on the one or more triggers.

13. The method as recited in claim 11 , further comprising creating one or more selectable options for skipping to one or more segments within the recording based at least in part on the one or more triggers.

14. The method as recited in claim 11 , further comprising creating one or more cuts of the recording for one or more highlights for access and viewing based at least in part on the one or more triggers.

15. One or more non-transitory, machine-readable media having machine-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:

detecting a set of one or more electronic communications received via one or more interfaces;

detecting, from the set of one or more electronic communications, one or more signals of one or more events that are specified for digital distribution;

detecting one or more betting data changes that are generated based at least in part on at least one event of the one or more events;

scoring the at least one event based at least in part on viewership data associated with the at least one event to identify a watchability of the at least one event;

consequent to the detecting the one or more betting data changes and the scoring, creating a content composite corresponding to the at least one event; and

outputting the content composite, wherein, consequent to the outputting, an endpoint media device causes presentation of the content composite.

16. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media as recited in claim 15 , the operations further comprising causing the at least one event to be automatically recorded such that the endpoint media device has access to a recording of the at least one event.

17. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media as recited in claim 16 , wherein the automatically recording is consequent to a selection corresponding to the content composite by a user in conjunction with the presentation of the content composite.

18. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media as recited in claim 17 , the operations further comprising detecting one or more triggers corresponding to the selection corresponding to the content composite, shifting odds due to one or more developments in the at least one event, and/or one or more state changes in the at least one event.

19. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media as recited in claim 18 , the operations further comprising highlighting, marking, and/or otherwise recording one or more presentation times within the recording based at least in part on the one or more triggers.

20. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media as recited in claim 19 , the operations further comprising creating one or more selectable options for skipping to one or more segments within the recording based at least in part on the one or more triggers.
