  • Patent number: 11030190
    Abstract: A remote experience system is presented. The inventive subject matter provides apparatus, systems and methods in which one can use an experience feed analysis engine to gain better understanding of how experience feeds are viewed, processed, interacted, created, broadcasted, or otherwise managed by means of experience objects and generating experience metrics that can help analyze viewing patterns, broadcasting attributes, event management characteristics, among other features that can help improve and analyze remove viewing experience.

  • Patent number: 11003306
    Abstract: A method of sharing an experience between a tapper and a content provider is provided. In this method, at least two interfaces are provided that are configured to allow the tapper and the content provider to join a content sharing community. A third interface is also provided to allow the tapper to select the content provider from a map where at least one of the tapper and the content provider are unknown to the other prior to the tapper selecting the content provider. Then a solicitation is conveyed from the tapper to the content provider to provide a video feed. A fourth interface is further provided to present the solicitations in an order according to predetermined ranking criteria.

  • Patent number: 10866687
    Abstract: A method of method of providing an advertisement is provided. In this method, at least two interfaces are provided that are configured to allow the tapper and the content provider to join a content sharing community. A third interface is also provided to allow the tapper to select the content provider from a map where at least one of the tapper and the content provider are unknown to the other prior to the tapper selecting the content provider. Then a solicitation is conveyed from the tapper to the content provider to provide a video feed. The method further generates a derived video feed by superimposing an augmented reality object onto the video feed, wherein the augmented reality object is based at least in part on the determined context, and then conveys the derived video feed to the tapper.

  • Patent number: 10700944
    Abstract: A sensor data aggregation system is presented. The aggregation system can include a sensor interface configured to obtain sensor data from multiple sensing devices (e.g., cell phone, security cameras, vehicles, etc.) associated with an event. An aggregation server compiles the sensor data into one or more event feeds representing a dynamic, immersive sensory experience of the event. The event feed can then be presented to one or more viewers where viewers can provide feedback to individuals operating the sensing devices. For example, a viewer can request a specific image or video be taken, possibly in exchange for a payment.

  • Patent number: 10656781
    Abstract: A method of interacting with a remote object is presented. In this method, at least two interfaces are provided that are configured to allow the tapper and the content provider to join a content sharing community. A third interface is also provided to allow the tapper to select the content provider from a map that displays representations of members of the content sharing community. Then a solicitation is conveyed from the tapper to the content provider to provide a video feed. In response to the solicitation, a video feed derived from a device operated or carried by the content provider is provided to the tapper. Further, a fourth interface is provided to the tapper to select a portion of the video feed. From a video feed, an object is recognized, and a clarification question can be generated based on the recognized object and a profile of the tapper.
