Abstract:
1. On a computing device, a method of sharing media streams presenting different perspectives of an event, the method comprising: storing an event definition for the event; receiving from each capture device of a plurality of capture devices a request to share a media stream captured by the capture device, the media stream including sensor data produced by a sensor of the capture device and representing the capture device's perspective of an event; receiving a media stream from each capture device of the plurality of capture devices; associating at least some media streams from the plurality of capture devices with the event based upon the event definition; performing object recognition on each media stream associated with the event to determine whether the media stream includes an object of interest in the event; sending to the plurality of capture devices a list of available media streams associated with the event including a subset of media streams in which the object of interest in the event is recognized as being included in the media streams, wherein the subset comprises an automatically curated subset of media streams selected based upon a current popularity of each media stream; receiving from a requesting capture device a request for transmission of a selected media stream associated with the event for consumption by the requesting capture device; and sending the selected media stream associated with the event to the requesting capture device.
