Abstract

There is provided a system including a memory storing an executable code and a processor executing the executable code to provide access to a plurality of users to curate video clips stored in a content repository, wherein each video clip is associated with one of a plurality of ownership identifications, receive curation inputs from a user of one of a plurality of user devices arranging two or more video clips into a video compilation, wherein a first video clip is associated with the first ownership identification of a first content owner and a second video clip is associated with the second ownership identification of a second content owner, stream the video compilation to one or more of the plurality of user devices, and distribute a first fee to the first content owner and a second fee to the second content owner, in response to streaming the video compilation.

Background

BACKGROUND (1) Posting a video compilation on the Internet requires compiling existing video clips to create the video compilation, and uploading the video compilation to a video hosting website, such as a video-sharing website or a social media website. However, conventional methods of creating and posting video compilations may not provide an appropriate distribution of advertising revenue earned when the video compilation is viewed. SUMMARY (2) The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for determining and distributing fees associated with curated video clips, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.

Claims

1. A system comprising: a non-transitory memory storing an executable code; a hardware processor configured to execute the executable code to: provide access to a user to curate a plurality of video clips stored in a content repository, wherein each video clip of the plurality of video clips is associated with one of a plurality of ownership identifications; receive curation inputs from the user arranging at least a part of each of two or more video clips of the plurality of video clips into a video clips compilation, wherein the video clips compilation includes a part of a first video clip of the two or more video clips and a part of a second video clip of the two or more video clips, and wherein the first video clip is associated with a first content owner identified by a first ownership identification of the plurality of ownership identifications and the second video clip of the video clips compilation is associated with a second content owner identified by a second ownership identification of the plurality of ownership identifications; partially and continuously stream the video clips compilation to a user device, wherein the partially and continuously streaming results in providing all of the part of the first video clip and a portion less than all of the part of the second video clip to the user device in a continuous stream; and in response to partially and continuously streaming the video clips compilation to the user device, calculate a first fee to be distributed to the first content owner based on streaming all of the part of the first video clip to the user device as a first part of the continuous stream, and a second fee to be distributed to the second content owner based on and in proportion of the portion less than all of the part of the second video clip to all of the part of the second video clip, wherein the portion less than all of the part of the second video clip is streamed to the user device as a second part of the continuous stream. || 11. A method for use with a system having a non-transitory memory and a hardware processor, the method comprising: providing, using the hardware processor, access to a user to curate a plurality of video clips stored in a content repository, wherein each video clip of the plurality of video clips is associated with one of a plurality of ownership identifications; receiving, using the hardware processor, curation inputs from the user arranging at least a part of each of two or more video clips of the plurality of video clips into a video clips compilation, wherein the video clips compilation includes a part of a first video clip of the two or more video clips and a part of a second video clip of the two or more video clips, and wherein the first video clip is associated with a first content owner identified by a first ownership identification of the plurality of ownership identifications and the second video clip of the video clips compilation is associated with a second content owner identified by a second ownership identification of the plurality of ownership identifications; partially and continuously streaming the video clips compilation to a user device, wherein the partially and continuously streaming results in providing all of the part of the first video clip and a portion less than all of the part of the second video clip to the user device in a continuous stream; and in response to partially and continuously streaming the video clips compilation to the user device, calculating a first fee to be distributed to the first content owner based on streaming all of the part of the first video clip to the user device as a first part of the continuous stream, and a second fee to be distributed to the second content owner based on and in proportion of the portion less than all of the part of the second video clip to all of the part of the second video clip, wherein the portion less than all of the part of the second video clip is streamed to the user device as a second part of the continuous stream. || 21. A method for use with a system having a non-transitory memory and a hardware processor, the method comprising: providing, using the hardware processor, access to a user to curate a plurality of video clips stored in a content repository, wherein each video clip of the plurality of video clips is associated with one of a plurality of ownership identifications; receiving, using the hardware processor, curation inputs from the user arranging a first video clip of the plurality of video clips and a second video clip of the plurality of video clips into a video clips compilation, wherein the first video clip is associated with a first content owner identified by a first ownership identification of the plurality of ownership identifications and the second video clip of the video clips compilation is associated with a second content owner identified by a second ownership identification of the plurality of ownership identifications; partially and continuously streaming the video clips compilation to a user device, wherein the partially and continuously streaming results in providing all of the first video clip and a portion less than all of the second video clip to the user device in a continuous stream; and in response to partially and continuously streaming the video clips compilation to the user device, calculating a first fee to be distributed to the first content owner based on streaming all of the first video clip to the user device as a first part of the continuous stream, and a second fee to be distributed to the second content owner based on and in proportion of the portion less than all of the part of the second video clip to all of the part of the second video clip, wherein the portion less than all of the part of the second video clip is streamed to the user device as a second part of the continuous stream.
