Methods, systems, and storage mediums for providing multi-viewpoint media sharing of proximity-centric content
First Claim
1. A method for providing multi-viewpoint media-sharing activities related to proximity-centric media content associated with an event, said media-sharing activities performed via portable communications devices, said method comprising:
- identifying an alternate feed of media content by a first portable communications device, said alternate feed of media content captured by a second portable communications device at said event;
performing real-time auditioning of said media content by said first portable communications device operable for assessing a vantage point of said media content with respect to said event; and
receiving said alternate feed of media content at said first portable communications device in response to a request transmitted by said first portable communications device;
wherein said first portable communications device and said second portable communications device are in geographic propinquity of said event.

Abstract
Exemplary embodiments of the invention relate to methods, systems, and storage mediums for providing multi-viewpoint, media-sharing activities related to proximity-centric media content associated with an event whereby the media-sharing activities are performed via portable communications devices. The method includes identifying an alternate feed of media content by a first portable communications device that was captured by a second portable communications device at the event. The method also includes performing real-time auditioning of the media content by the first portable communications device for assessing a vantage point of the media content with respect to the event. The method further includes receiving the alternate feed of media content at the first portable communications device in response to a request transmitted by the first portable communications device. The first portable communications device and the second portable communications device are in geographic propinquity of the event.
