Abstract: Methods (FIG. 900), systems and the like for determining which users have an interest in receiving media content and determining when to transmit the media content (i.e., which segment/portion of a media content to transmit) based on user characteristics that are related to the user's interest in the media content. Users/viewers are targeted/selected as candidates for receiving media content based on their interest in the event. Specific segments/portions of the event are identified that are of interest to the users/viewers, such that, real-time transmission (e.g., unicast, broadcast, multicast) of the event may be limited to only those segments/portions of the event that are of interest to the users/viewers.

Abstract: A method includes performing operations as follows on a processor: establishing communication with a second mobile device using a direct point-to-point wireless protocol, obtaining an audio avatar associated with a user of the second mobile device responsive to establishing communication with the second mobile device, and playing the audio avatar on a speaker system associated with the first mobile device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for automatically creating a soundtrack, comprising a camera device (1, 1?) for recording a user-generated video, at least one wearable sensor (3, 3?), and a control unit (2, 2?) in communication with the camera device (1, 1?) and the at least one wearable sensor (3, 3?). The control unit (2, 2?) is adapted to generate the soundtrack based on data gathered from the at least one wearable sensor (3, 3?) during the recording of the user-generated video. The invention further relates to a method for automatically creating a soundtrack, computer program product, a computer readable memory storage unit computing arrangement or mobile device (1, 11) for executing the method.

Abstract: A personal training device is provided for a participant of pace-based physical training. The device includes an input for receiving an input signal indicative of a pace of the participant, and a comparator coupled to the input for comparing the pace of the participant to a predefined criteria. The personal training device further includes a training partner positioner for generating a position of a virtual training partner relative to the participant based on an output of the comparator, and a training partner audio source for providing audio representative of sounds from the virtual training partner. Still further, the personal training device includes a spatial audio processor for producing a multi-dimensional audio signal comprising the audio from the audio source, the multi-dimensional audio signal providing the audio at a spatial location represented by the position generated by the training partner positioner.
