Patent number: 11887369Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for generating media content. For example, a server computer can detect a trigger from a device located at a site. The trigger is associated with an event at the site. The server computer can obtain media segments of media captured by a plurality of media capture devices located at the site. At least one of the media segments corresponds to the detected trigger. The server computer can determine one or more quality metrics of a media segment based on a first motion of an object captured in the media segment and/or a second motion of a media capture device used to capture the media segment. A subset of media segments can be selected from the obtained media segments based on quality metrics determined for the obtained media segments. A collection of media segments including the subset of media segments can then be generated.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: OPENTV, INC.Inventors: Sami Karoui, Olivier Schaer

Patent number: 11528523Abstract: The present invention refers to the field of television experience in particular the simultaneous use of the portable computing device and a television to share a user's experience. The present disclosure proposes a method to create a snapshot from a video transmission received by a receiver, said receiver being connected with a portable computing device and having a screen output, said method comprising the steps of receiving a video transmission by the receiver, converting by the receiver, the video transmission into a lower-bandwidth video transmission, sending the lower-bandwidth video transmission to the portable computing device, receiving from the portable computing device to the receiver, a command to execute a snapshot, producing by the receiver a snapshot from the video transmission, sending the snapshot to the portable computing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: NAGRAVISION S.A.Inventors: Didier Hunacek, Olivier Schaer, Frederic Thomas
