Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and storage media for adaptive provision of content are described. In one instance, the apparatus may comprise a processor and an adaptive content provision module to be operated by the processor. The adaptive content provision module may include a content provision module to generate and provide for display a first view of content captured by first selected one or more of cameras, to a plurality of user devices; an analysis module to receive and analyze user response information provided by the plurality of user devices in response to the displayed first view of content; and a control module to control the content provision module to generate a second view of content captured by second selected one or more of the plurality of cameras, based at least in part on a result of the analysis of the user response information. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus includes the plurality of cameras coupled with the processor to capture content, wherein content comprises real-time content.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second selected one or more of the plurality of cameras is different than the first selected one or more of the plurality of cameras.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the analysis module, as part of to receive and crowdsource-analyze the user response information, comprises to analyze the eye tracking information for an eye movement pattern of at least some of users of the user devices, and to determine one or more gaze points associated with the displayed first view of content, based at least in part on a result of the analysis of the eye movement pattern.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the control module, as part of to control the content provision module to generate the second view of content, is to change at least one of:

focus of at least one of the second selected one or more of the plurality of cameras, zoom of at least one of the second selected one or more of the plurality of cameras, or position of at least one of the second selected one or more of the plurality of cameras, based at least in part on the determination of the one or more gaze points.

6. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the analysis module, as part of to receive and analyze the eye tracking information, is to identify the first and second crowdsource groups of user devices based at least in part on determination of the one or more gaze points in the eye tracking information.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the one or more gaze points include at least a first gaze point associated with the first crowdsource group of user devices and a second gaze point associated with the second crowdsource group of user devices, wherein a first number of user devices in the first crowdsource group is above a first threshold and a second number of user devices in the second crowdsource group is above a second threshold.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the analysis module, as part of to determine one or more gaze points, is to apply a machine-learning clustering algorithm to respective spatial layouts of the identified first and second gaze points, to determine at least a first object in the content that is associated with the first gaze point, and determine at least a second object in the content that is associated with the second gaze point and to identify the first and second crowdsource groups of user devices based on this information.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the control module is to generate the second view of content based at least in part on the determination of the first object and to generate the third view of content is based at least in part on the determination of the second object.

10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the analysis module, as part of to receive and crowdsource-analyze user response information, is to retrieve and analyze historic data associated with prior broadcast of content having one or more characteristics in common with the content that is currently broadcasted, wherein to identify at least first and second crowdsource groups of user devices of the group of user devices is based at least in part on a result of the analysis of the historic data, wherein the historic data comprises gaze point groups.

11. One or more computer-readable media having instructions for adaptive provision of content stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computing device, provide the computing device with an adaptive content provision environment to:

generate and provide for display a first view of content captured by first selected one or more of a plurality of cameras, to a group of user devices;

receive and crowdsource-analyze user response information provided by the group of user devices in response to the displayed first view of content to identify at least first and second crowdsource groups of user devices in the group of user devices based at least in part on eye tracking information in the user response information; and

generate and display to the first crowdsource group of user devices a second view of content captured by second selected one or more of the plurality of cameras and to generate and display to the second crowdsource group of user devices a third view of content captured by third selected one or more of the plurality of cameras, based at least in part on a result of the crowdsource-analysis of the user response information.

12. The computer-readable media of claim 11, wherein to generate the second view of content includes to:

generate the second view of content captured by the second selected one or more of the plurality of cameras that is different than the first selected one or more of the plurality of cameras.
