Abstract

Consumption information associated with a user consuming a first video segment may be obtained. The consumption information may define user engagement during a video segment and/or user response to the video segment. Consumption information associated with the user consuming a second video segment may be obtained. A first set of capture settings associated with capture of the first video segment may be obtained. A second set of capture settings associated with capture of the second video segment may be obtained. The preferences for the capture settings of the image capturing device may be determined based upon the first and second set of capture settings. Instructions may be transmitted to the image capturing device. The instructions may include the determined preferences for the capture settings and may be configured to cause the image capturing device to adjust the capture settings to the determined preferences.

Claims

1. A system configured to determine capture settings of an image capturing device, the system comprising:

one or more physical computer processors configured by computer readable instructions to;

obtain consumption information associated with a user consuming a first video portion, the consumption information defining user engagement during a video portion and/or user response to the video portion;

obtain consumption information associated with the user consuming a second video portion;

obtain a first set of capture settings associated with capture of the first video portion;

obtain a second set of capture settings associated with capture of the second video portion;

determine a set of preferred capture settings for the image capturing device based upon the first set of capture settings and the second set of capture settings, wherein the set of preferred capture settings defines aspects of operation for one or more of a processor of the image capturing device, an imaging sensor of the image capturing device, and/or an optical element of the image capturing device, wherein the set of preferred capture settings include one or more commonalities between the first set of capture settings and the second set of capture settings; and

effectuate transmission of instructions to the image capturing device, the instructions configured to cause the image capturing device to automatically implement the set of preferred capture settings.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the consumption information is associated with a consumption score, the consumption score quantifying a degree of interest of the user consuming the video portion based upon the user engagement during the video portion and/or the user response to the video portion.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the user engagement during the video portion includes at least one of an amount of time the user consumes the video portion or a number of times the user consumes the video portion.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the user response to the video portion includes one or more of commenting on the video portion, rating the video portion, or sharing the video portion.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the image capturing device is configured to implement the set of preferred capture settings based upon current contextual information that defines one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes associated with the image capturing device.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes include one or more of a geolocation attribute, a time attribute, a date attribute, or a content attribute.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the geolocation attribute includes a location of the image capturing device capturing a current video portion.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the time attribute includes a timestamp associated with when the current video portion was captured.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the date attribute includes one or more of a date associated with when the current video portion was captured, seasonal information associated with when the current video portion was captured, or a time of year associated with when the current video portion was captured.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the content attribute includes one or more of an action depicted within the current video portion, one or more objects depicted within the current video portion, or a landscape depicted within the current video portion.

11. A method to determine capture settings of an image capturing device, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:

obtaining, by the computing system, consumption information associated with a user consuming a first video portion, the consumption information defining user engagement during a video portion and/or user response to the video portion;

obtaining, by the computing system, consumption information associated with the user consuming a second video portion;

obtaining, by the computing system, a first set of capture settings associated with capture of the first video portion;

obtaining, by the computing system, a second set of capture settings associated with capture of the second video portion;

determining, by the computing system, a set of preferred capture settings for the image capturing device based upon the first set of capture settings and the second set of capture settings, wherein the set of preferred capture settings defines aspects of operation for one or more of a processor of the image capturing device, an imaging sensor of the image capturing device, and/or an optical element of the image capturing device, wherein the set of preferred capture settings include one or more commonalities between the first set of capture settings and the second set of capture settings; and

effectuating, by the computing system, transmission of instructions to the image capturing device, the instructions configured to cause the image capturing device to automatically implement the set of preferred capture settings.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the consumption information is associated with a consumption score, the consumption score quantifying a degree of interest of the user consuming the video portion based upon the user engagement during the video portion and/or the user response to the video portion.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the user engagement during the video portion includes at least one of an amount of time the user consumes the video portion or a number of times the user consumes the video portion.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the user response to the video portion includes one or more of commenting on the video portion, rating the video portion, or sharing the video portion.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the image capturing device is configured to implement the set of preferred capture settings based upon current contextual information that defines one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes associated with the image capturing device.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the one or more current temporal attributes and/or current spatial attributes include one or more of a geolocation attribute, a time attribute, a date attribute, or a content attribute.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the geolocation attribute includes a location of the image capturing device capturing a current video portion.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the time attribute includes a timestamp associated with when the current video portion was captured.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the date attribute includes one or more of a date associated with when the current video portion was captured, seasonal information associated with when the current video portion was captured, or a time of year associated with when the current video portion was captured.

20. The method of claim 17, wherein the content attribute includes one or more of an action depicted within the current video portion, one or more objects depicted within the current video portion, or a landscape depicted within the current video portion.
