  • Patent number: 10200838
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a method of providing location information for a mobile electronic device and a mobile electronic device using the same method. In one of the exemplary embodiments, the mobile electronic device would receive a first signal that indicates capturing a multimedia file. In response to receiving the first signal, the mobile electronic device would transmit to an external device a second signal in response to receiving the first signal. In response to transmitting the second signal, the mobile electronic device may receive from the external device a first location information or an ephemeris. The mobile electronic device may then determine the first location information either based on the first location information as received or based on the ephemeris. Also, the mobile electronic device may associate the multimedia file with the first location information.

  • Patent number: 10186299
    Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a method and an electronic device of generating a multiple point of view (MPOV) video. In the present disclosure, the method for generating the MPOV video may include a step of obtaining a plurality of media contents, determining, from the plurality of media contents, a first media content and a second media content as relevant media contents, wherein each of the relevant media contents comprises a scene of a same event, identifying an overlap section comprising a portion of the first media content overlapping with a portion of the second media content, identifying a highlight period by analyzing a content feature of the portion of the first media content and the portion of the second media content within the overlap section, and generating the MPOV video based on the first media content and the second media content within the highlight period.
