Publication number: 20230276038Abstract: Video information and sensor information may be obtained. The video information may define spherical video content having a progress length. The spherical video content may define visual content viewable from a point a view as a function of progress through the progress length of the spherical video content. The spherical video content may be captured by one or more image capture devices. The sensor information may characterize capture of the spherical video content. A viewing direction for the spherical video content may be determined based on the sensor information and/or other information. The viewing direction may define a direction of view for the spherical video content from the point of view as the function of progress through the progress length of the spherical video content. The spherical video content may be presented on a display based on the viewing direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Mark Vaden, Ingrid A.

Patent number: 10678844Abstract: Media capture apparatus and methods for obtaining metadata. Metadata may be collected and stored in a container independent of audio and/or image (media) content. Some container implementations may be configured to store metadata for a given interval, and media content for a portion of the interval. In action camera implementations, metadata may provide a context related to time, physical conditions of a person, location, surroundings of the video capture. In event recording applications, the metadata container may provide information related to a timeline of the event, environmental conditions, proximity of other capture devices. Metadata may be utilized for processing, viewing, and/or sharing of media content. Individual capture devices may communicate and/or combine metadata to one another in order to expand metadata content. Metadata, video and/or images may be shared between users and/or devices using a container.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: David Newman, Mark Vaden, Rolf Fischer

Patent number: 10402445Abstract: Content proxy may be obtained. Content may include video captured by an action camera. Content proxy may include metadata information obtained contemporaneous with the content and stored in a session container. Content proxy may include lower data rate version of the content (thumbnails). Content proxy information may be viewed and/or analyzed in order to obtain one or more highlights. Content portion corresponding to the highlight may be obtained. Multiple versions of content proxy obtained by multiple cameras may be used to identify, display, and/or share content portions in a multi-camera/multiuser applications.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: David Newman, Mark Vaden, Rolf Fischer, Vadim Polonichko

Patent number: 10395119Abstract: Systems and method of determining one or more activities performed during video capture are presented herein. Information defining a video may be obtained. The information defining the video may include content information, metadata information, and/or other information. The content information may define visual content of the video and/or other content of the video. The metadata information may include tracking information and/or other information. The tracking information may locations of the capture device as a function of progress through the video. One or more activity types being performed by an entity moving with the capture device during the previous capture may be determined based on the tracking information. For example, a location graph may be generated from the tracking information. The location graph may be used to determine one or more activity types that were performed.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventor: Mark Vaden
