Abstract
There is provided a system including a memory storing an executable code and a 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 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.
Background
BACKGROUND
Today, media broadcast companies provide coverage of media events, such as award shows, sporting events, etc., as a single video stream depicting the media event on a single broadcast channel. A production team, including a producer and an editor, view incoming video feeds from the media event and decide which parts of the event are likely to be popular with most viewers, and select those parts of the media event for broadcast. Although this single-stream model provides coverage that appeals to many viewers, this conventional approach does not provide coverage of the entire media event. Further, hiring production teams to create additional broadcast coverage that caters to the interests of all viewers is too expensive and impractical.SUMMARY
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for crowd sourcing media content selection, 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
21. 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 a same event; provide the plurality of video inputs to each of a plurality of media devices; receive a plurality of first video inputs each from a different one of the plurality of media devices, wherein each of the plurality of first video inputs is created using the plurality of video inputs; stream each of the plurality of first video inputs as a separate media channel for display over a network; receive a plurality of user comments related to each of the plurality of first video inputs being streamed on each separate media channel; provide the plurality of user comments over the network for display along with the related separate media channel; rank the plurality of media channels being streamed; and display a high ranking media channel of the plurality of media channels in a main display area, and display other media channels of the plurality of media channels on a side of the main display area and based on the ranking.
29. A method for use by a system including a hardware processor, 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 a same 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 video inputs each from a different one of the plurality of media devices, wherein each of the plurality of first video inputs is created using the plurality of video inputs; streaming, using the hardware processor, each of the plurality of first video inputs as a separate media channel for display over a network; receiving, using the hardware processor, a plurality of user comments related to each of the plurality of first video inputs being streamed on each separate media channel; providing, using the hardware processor, the plurality of user comments over the network for display along with the related separate media channel; ranking, using the hardware processor, the plurality of media channels being streamed; and displaying, using the hardware processor, a high ranking media channel of the plurality of media channels in a main display area, and display other media channels of the plurality of media channels on a side of the main display area and based on the ranking.
37. 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 a same event; provide the plurality of video inputs to each of a plurality of media devices; receive a plurality of first video inputs each from a different one of the plurality of media devices, wherein each of the plurality of first video inputs is created using the plurality of video inputs; stream each of the plurality of first video inputs as a separate media channel for display over a network; receive a plurality of user comments related to each of the plurality of first video inputs being streamed on each separate media channel; provide the plurality of user comments over the network for display along with the related separate media channel; rank the plurality of media channels being streamed; and display one or more of the plurality of media channels based on the ranking.
