Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and system for personalizing user experience in a gaming network. In particular, the user experience is personalized based on how users are characterized based on their interactions with the gaming network. By using the characterizations, the users are assigned labels that publicly identify the user experience, interest, and proficiency with various video games. Communities are then established based on users having the same labels. Lastly, user generated content can be characterized and promoted based on the characterizations to the appropriate communities.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems directed towards implementing scene tagging. In particular, scene tagging is used to characterize user generated content associated with gameplay information associated with video games. Exemplary user generated content include video recordings or screenshots from within the video game that pertain to events that have occurred. Corresponding metadata would then be used to describe substantive aspects about the user-generated content such as details about where the recording or screenshot was taken, who was included in the user-generated content, and what objects are found in the user-generated content. The associated metadata would 1) allow users to search among various uploaded user generated content and 2) search within portions of those use-generated content for particular sub-sections of interest. Furthermore, the metadata associated with the user-generated content would allow viewers to experience the same events that were recorded.
