  • Publication number: 20240087316
    Abstract: A location in a video may be specified and content related to the location may be accessed. A method for accessing the related content may include receiving a reference to a pixel location in a frame of a video feed of a filmed occurrence and accessing a spatio-temporal index corresponding to the filmed occurrence. The spatio-temporal index may index information relating to events or objects of the filmed occurrence and corresponding pixel locations at which the events or the objects are detected in the video feed. The method may further include querying the spatio-temporal index using the pixel location to determine particular information of an indexed event or an indexed object and receiving the particular information wherein the particular information indicates at least one of spatial and temporal alignment parameters for aligning the indexed event with a corresponding event in at least one other video feed of the filmed occurrence.

  • Publication number: 20240087317
    Abstract: Data processing systems and methods are disclosed for augmenting video content with one or more augmentations to produce augmented video. Elements within video content may be identified by spatiotemporal indices and may have associated values. An advertiser can pay to have an augmentation added to an element that, for example, advertises the advertiser's goods and/or includes a link that, when activated, takes a user to the advertiser's website. Elements may have associated contexts that can be used to determine augmentations and element value, such as a position and/or current use of the element.

  • Publication number: 20220335720
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a Data Processing System for Generating Interactive User Interfaces and Interactive Game Systems Based on Spatiotemporal Analysis of Video Content may be configured to: (1) enable a user to select one or more players participating in a substantially live (e.g., live) sporting or other event; (2) determine scoring data for each of the one or more selected players during the sporting or other event; (3) track the determined scoring data; (4) generate a custom (e.g., to the user) user interface that includes the scoring data; and (5) display the custom user interface over at least a portion of a display screen (e.g., on a mobile computing device) displaying one or more video feeds of the sporting or other event. In this way, the system may be configured to convert a video feed of a sporting event into an interactive game.

  • Publication number: 20220327830
    Abstract: Data processing systems and methods are disclosed for combining video content with one or more augmentations to produce augmented video. Objects within video content may have associated bounding boxes that may each be associated with respective RGB values. Upon user selection of a pixel, the RGBA value of the pixel may be used to determine a bounding box associated with the RGBA value. The client may transmit an indicator of the determined bounding box to an augmentation system to request augmentation data for the object associated with the bounding box. The system then uses the indicator to determine the augmentation data and transmits the augmentation data to the client device.

  • Publication number: 20220254379
    Abstract: Video may be edited to include collaborations by users. Collaborations may be added to the video and associated with a span of the video. The span of the collaborations may be determined according to an action that is received from a user contemporaneously with the playback of the video. In some cases, the span of the collaborations may be determined automatically by analyzing the collaboration and the video frames to which the user initial added the collaborations. Analysis of the collaborations and video frame may be used to determine span criteria for the frames of the video that should be associated with the collaborations.

  • Patent number: 11275949
    Abstract: A user interface for a media system supports using gestures, such as swiping gestures and taps, to navigate frame-synchronized video clips or video feeds. The detection of the gestures is interpreted as a command to navigate the frame-synchronized content. In one implementation, a tracking system and a trained machine learning system is used to generate the frame synchronized video clips or video feeds. In one implementation, video clips of an event are organized into storylines and the user interface permits navigation between different storylines and within individual storylines.

  • Patent number: 10997425
    Abstract: A media system generally includes a memory device that stores an event datastore that stores a plurality of event records, each event record corresponding to a respective event and event metadata describing at least one feature of the event. The media system (a) receives a request to generate an aggregated clip comprised of one or more media segments, where each media segment depicts a respective event; (b) for each event record from at least a subset of the plurality of event records, determines an interest level of the event corresponding to the event record; (c) determines one or more events to depict in the aggregated clip based on the respective interest levels of the one or more events; (d) generates the aggregated clip based on the respective media segments that depict the one or more events; and (e) transmits the aggregated clip to a user device.
