Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically adjusting of one or more operating characteristics of a mobile electronic device. When a mobile electronic device is recording video, a user interface of the mobile electronic device is automatically adjusted in response to determining that the mobile electronic device has been physically manipulated in one or more particular ways. For example, a touch screen may be dimmed while the mobile electronic device is recording video and the mobile electronic device determines that it has been raised above a user's head.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method are described for enhancing the quality of livestream videos sourced from live events, including audio components of livestream videos. Audio recordings are generated by spectators at a live event and streamed to an media production server. The audio recordings typically overlap in time, capturing particular portions of the live event. The media production server receives the audio recordings and determines one or more audio characteristics of each audio recording, in some cases, using a trained AI model. A subset of audio recordings is selected for mixing based on the determined audio characteristics to produce a composite audio track. The composite audio track may then be substituted for each of the audio recordings.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus are described for improving video production technology. A video production server receives livestream videos from spectators at live events. The video production server creates video-on-demand presentations based on the livestream video clips. The video production server may also receive natively-created video clips of live events after live events have ended. The natively-created video clips each comprise location, date and time information as metadata. When natively-created video clips are received by the video production server, each clip is associated with a particular, past live event by comparing the location, date and time information of each clip to a database of live events identified by each event's location, date and time.
