Patent number: 10306319Abstract: One-way streaming video broadcasts can be presented and consumed by an audience via a media player than allows annotations. If the streaming broadcast is live, or at least has not ended, an opportunity exists for the audience to collaborate with the broadcaster and/or contribute to the broadcast. Such can be accomplished by annotating the presentation of the video broadcast with an object that, when selected, facilitates transmission of a video feed associated with the audience member to the broadcaster. The broadcaster can receive and include this video feed into the video broadcast.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2014Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Loren Groves, Ming Zhang, Matthew John Leske, Nadim Raad

Patent number: 9955119Abstract: A multimedia conference broadcast system may include one or more processors and a memory. The one or more processors may receive video streams and audio streams from participant devices. The one or more processors may transmit, to each of the participant devices, the video streams and the audio streams corresponding to the other devices. The one or more processors may receive a request to broadcast the video streams and the audio streams from one of the participant devices. The one or more processors may generate a composite multimedia stream based on the video streams and the audio streams received from the participant devices. The one or more processors may broadcast the composite multimedia stream to viewer devices that are separate from the participant devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Matthew J.
