Patent number: 11082722Abstract: A method and system for generating highlights from scored data streams is disclosed. According to one embodiment, media content containing time-stamped payloads is received in a data stream from one or more sources. The received media content is recorded in a buffer for a predetermined period of time and sliced into data buckets. For each of the data buckets, a score is assigned according to user-provided keywords. The data buckets are recorded along with the assigned score to generate highlights from the one or more sources using the scores of the recorded data buckets.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: AFTERLIVE.TV INC.Inventors: Michael George Folgner, Ryan Brice Cunningham, Stephen Benjamin Weibel, Lamthuy Tran Nguyen, William Henry Darrow

Patent number: 10642465Abstract: A method and system for media selection and sharing is disclosed. According to one embodiment, media content is received from a media source and is stored in a buffer for a first time period. A second time period within the first time period is determined for creating a media clip from the media content stored in the buffer. A media clip is generated as determined by the second time period. A user provides an input, and the user's input is associated with the media clip to take one or more effects on the media clip. The media clip enhanced with the one more effects is transmitted over a network to share with other users.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2015Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Twitter, Inc.Inventors: Michael George Folgner, Ryan Brice Cunningham, Stephen Benjamin Weibel, Lamthuy Tran Nguyen
