Abstract: The method and system electronically detects users engaged in common gameplay using hash values generated based on image processing of designated portions of gameplay image capture. Portions are based on the game, common display area visible to all players. For each player running the executable application, these hash values are generated on an intermittent basis and the hash values are sent via a network connection to one or more hash databases. The method and system compares hash values to determine matches. Based on this detection, the method and system determines additional user(s) engaged in the common gameplay.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for dynamic segment generation and distribution. The method and system includes receiving a content feed including videogame gameplay, the content feed including at least one of an audio feed and a video feed. The method and system includes monitoring the content feed to detect a clip trigger, the clip trigger indicating generation of a segment, wherein the segment is a portion of the content feed. Upon clip trigger detection, the method and system includes generating a segment from the content feed by clipping a portion of the content feed in reference to the clip trigger. The method and system then includes formatting the segment and electronically distributing, to a content distribution system, either a location identifier identifying the segment or the segment itself.
