Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided, which may be implemented to combine and distribute user enhanced video and/or audio content.

Background

BACKGROUND 1. Field (1) The subject matter disclosed herein relates to video and/or audio data content processing, and more particularly to methods and apparatuses for use in combining and distributing user enhanced video/audio content. 2. Information (2) Electronic entertainment systems continue to advance in sophistication and popularity. Standard definition televisions are being replaced with higher definition video monitor devices and high fidelity audio monitor devices in an attempt to provide an improved entertainment experience. Likewise, standard definition video tape players and/or DVD player devices are being replaced with higher definition optical disc player devices, such as, for example, Blu-Ray disc player devices. Furthermore, content establishing devices, such as web cameras, video cameras, still image cameras, sound recording devices, etc., are also being replaced or upgraded to provide higher definition content. (3) Computing and communication systems and networks also continue to advance in sophistication and popularity. The Internet and related computing and communication infrastructure, for example, continues to improve and expand in content, access, speed, variety, etc. Electronic entertainment systems may be further enhanced by interfacing with such networked resources. By way of example, certain set-top boxes may be adapted to access networked resources and provide information and/or content received there from for use in an electronic entertainment sy

Claims

1. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage device having a computer readable program stored thereon, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to: display, at a display device, reference content; capture, with an image capture device, a user video that includes live imagery of a user viewing the reference content; determine a timecode within the reference content at which the user video is captured; link, with a processor of the computer, the user video to the reference content at the timecode; generate, with the processor, one or more access-tags that identify one or more additional users that are specified by the user as having permission to view the user video; and after capturing the user video, deliver, with the processor, the user video to a social networking service configured to provide the one or more additional users access to a composite of the user video and the reference content based upon the one or more access-tags. || 11. A method comprising: displaying, at a display device, reference content; capturing, with an image capture device, a user video that includes live imagery of a user viewing the reference content; determining a timecode within the reference content at which the user video is captured; linking, with a processor, the user video to the reference content at the timecode; generating, with the processor, one or more access-tags that identify one or more additional users that are specified by the user as having permission to view the user video; and after capturing the user video, delivering, with the processor, the user video to a social networking service configured to provide the one or more additional users access to a composite of the user video and the reference content based upon the one or more access-tags. || 19. A system comprising: a display device that displays reference content; an image capture device that captures a user video that includes live imagery of a user viewing the reference content; and a processor that determines a timecode within the reference content at which the user video is captured, links the user video to the reference content at the timecode, generates one or more access-tags that identify one or more additional users that are specified by the user as having permission to view the user video, and, after capturing the user video, delivers the user video to a social networking service configured to provide the one or more additional users access to a composite of the user video and the reference content based upon the one or more access-tags.
