Abstract

There is provided a system including a memory storing an executable code anda processor executing the executable code to receive a plurality of video inputs, whereineach video input of the plurality of video inputs includes a video feed from an event, provide the plurality of video inputs to each of a plurality of media devices, receive a plurality of user video inputs each from a different one of the plurality of media devices, wherein each of the plurality of user video inputs is created using the plurality of video inputs, and stream each of the plurality of user video inputs as a separate media channel for display by a plurality of media devices.

Claims

1. A system comprising: a non-transitory memory storing an executable code; a hardware processor executing the executable code to: receive a plurality of video inputs, wherein each video input of the plurality of video inputs includes a video feed from an event; provide the plurality of video inputs to each of a plurality of media devices; receive a plurality of first user video inputs each from a different one of the plurality of media devices, wherein each of the plurality of first user video inputs is created using the plurality of video inputs; stream each of the plurality of first user video inputs as a separate media channel for display by the plurality of media devices; receive a plurality of second user video inputs, different from the first user video input, wherein each of the plurality of second user video inputs is created using the plurality of video inputs; stream each of the plurality of second user video inputs on the separate media channel; receive a plurality of user comments related to eachmedia channel; provide the plurality of user comments to each media device of the plurality of media devices for display with the related media channel; and rank each media channel of the plurality of media channels based on the plurality of user comments including a natural language analysis of the plurality of user comments for each media channel of the plurality of media channels. 11. A method for use with a system including a hardware processor and a non-transitory memory, the method comprising: receiving, using the hardware processor, a plurality of video inputs, wherein each video input of the plurality of video inputs includes a video feed from an event; providing, using the hardware processor, the plurality of video inputs to each of a plurality of media devices; receiving, using the hardware processor, a plurality of first user video inputs each from a different one of the plurality of media devices, wherein each of the plurality of first user video inputs is created using the plurality of video inputs; streaming, using the hardware processor, each of the plurality of first user video inputs as a separate media channel for display by the plurality of media devices; receiving a plurality of second user video inputs, different from the first user video input, wherein each of the plurality of second user video inputs is created using the plurality of video inputs; streaming each of the plurality of second uservideo inputs on the separate media channel; receiving a plurality of user comments related to each media channel; providing the plurality of user comments to each media device of the plurality of media devices for display with the related media channel; and ranking each media channel of the plurality of media channels based on the plurality of user commentsincluding a natural language analysis of the plurality of user comments for each media channel of the plurality of media channels.
