Content request by location
First Claim
1. A method of obtaining media content of an event, comprising:
- identifying a subset of a plurality of client terminals of a plurality of users, client terminals of the subset being located in proximity to a geographic location of a real-life event at a time of the real-life event;
sending a message to each client terminal of the subset, the message containing a request,to present on a respective display, to acquire media content documenting the real-life event in the geographic location, the request comprising instructions for imaging the real-life event;
receiving, from a first client terminal of the subset, a media content item in response to the message,the media content item being acquired by the first client terminal of the subset and the media content item documenting the real-life event;
making the media content item available for access by a second client terminal;
identifying a second subset of the plurality of client terminals of users potentially interested in the real-life event; and
providing the media content item to the second subset of client terminals,the providing including sending a message with a reference to a network-accessible content file containing the media content item.

Abstract
A method of obtaining media content of an event, comprising: identifying a real-life event and, a time of said real-life event a geographic location of the real-life event; identifying a subset of a plurality of client terminals of users located in proximity to the geographic location of the real-life event at said time of said real-life event; sending a message to the subset of client terminals containing a request to acquire media content documenting the real-life event; and receiving at least one media content item documenting the real-life event from at least one client terminal of the subset of client terminals, the at least one media content item acquired by at least one user of the users using the at least one client terminal in response to the message.

15. A system for obtaining media content of an event,
comprising: - at least one network interface;
a memory storing a code; and a processor coupled to the memory and the at least one network interface for executing the stored code, the code comprising; code instructions for identifying a subset of a plurality of client terminals of a plurality of users, client terminals of the subset being located in proximity to a geographic location of a real-life event at a time of the real-life event; code instructions for sending a message to each client terminal of the subset, the message containing a request, to present on a respective display, to acquire media content documenting the real-life event in the geographic location, the request comprising instructions for imaging the real-life event; code instructions for receiving, from a first client terminal of the subset, a media content item in response to the message, the media content item being acquired by the first client terminal of the subset and the media content item documenting the real-life event; code instructions for making the media content item available for access by a second client terminal; code instructions for identifying a second subset of the plurality of client terminals of users potentially interested in the real-life event; and code instructions for providing the media content item to the second subset of client terminals, the providing including sending a message with a reference to a network-accessible content file containing the media content item. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions adapted to perform operations comprising:
-
identifying a subset of a plurality of client terminals of a plurality of users, client terminals of the subset being located in proximity to a geographic location of a real-life event at a time of the real-life event; sending a message to each client terminal of the subset, the message containing a request, to present on a respective display, to acquire media content documenting the real-life event in the geographic location, the request comprising instructions for imaging the real-life event; receiving, from a first client terminal of the subset, a media content item in response to the message, the media content item being acquired by the first client terminal of the subset and the media content item documenting the real-life event; making the media content item available for access by a second client terminal;
identifying a second subset of the plurality of client terminals of users potentially interested in the real-life event; andproviding the media content item to the second subset of client terminals, the providing including sending a message with a reference to a network-accessible content file containing the media content item. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
