Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable and executable instructions are provided for presenting streaming media for an event. Presenting streaming media for an event can include receiving an outgoing message. Presenting streaming media for an event can also include evaluating the outgoing message to determine if the message is related to the event. Furthermore, presenting streaming media for an event can include taking an action with respect to presenting streaming media based on the relation to the event.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for presenting streaming media for an event comprising:

receiving an outgoing message;

evaluating the outgoing message to determine if the message is related to the event; and

taking an action with respect to presenting streaming media based on the relation to the event.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein evaluating the outgoing message includes at least one of determining an origin of the outgoing message and determining a content of the outgoing message.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving a plurality of outgoing messages and taking the action based on at least one of an origin, a content, the relation of each of the plurality of messages to the event, and how many messages are included in the plurality of outgoing messages.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining an interest in a specific portion of the event based on a content of the outgoing message as it relates to the specific portion of the event; and

taking the action based on at least one of an origin of the outgoing message, the content, the relation to the event, and the interest.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein receiving the outgoing message includes receiving at least one of a social media message, a text message, a telephone call, an electronic mail message, a voicemail message, and an answering machine message.

6. The method of claim 2 wherein determining the origin of the outgoing message includes at least one of monitoring IP addresses, monitoring cellular towers, monitoring content of the outgoing message, and monitoring global tracking on portable devices.

7. The method of claim 2 wherein determining the content of the outgoing message includes at least one of determining a location of a user, determining a location of the event, determining an author of the outgoing message, determining a time the outgoing message was sent, comparing the content of the outgoing message to a different outgoing message by a same author, and determining positive, negative, and neutral feedback regarding all or part of the event.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising taking the action with respect to a portion of the event.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein taking the action includes automatically selecting a highlight from the event.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein taking the action includes generating publicity about the event.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein taking the action includes varying the compression ratio for the event.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein taking the action includes generating a variable-speed playback broadcast of the event.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein taking the action includes personalizing a broadcast of the event based on the interest of a broadcast viewer.

14. The method of claim 1 wherein taking the action includes filtering out a specific portion of the event for a broadcast.

15. A computer-readable non-transitory medium storing a set of instructions for presenting streaming media for an event executable by the computer to cause the computer to:

receive an outgoing message;

determine an origin of the outgoing message;

determine a content of the outgoing message;

determine whether the outgoing message is related to a specific portion of the event based on at least one of the origin and content;

determine an interest in the specific portion based on the content of the outgoing message as it relates to the specific portion;

decrease a data compression ratio of the streaming media in response to an increased determined interest in the specific portion; and

increase the data compression ratio of the streaming media in response to a decreased determined interest in the specific portion.

16. A system for presenting streaming media for an event, comprising:

a computing device including;

a memory;

a processor coupled to the memory, to;

receive a plurality of outgoing messages;

determine an origin for each of the plurality of outgoing messages;

determine a content for each of the plurality of outgoing messages;

determine whether each of the plurality of outgoing messages is related to the event based on at least one of the origin and content of the plurality of outgoing messages;

determine a cumulative interest in a number of specific portions of the event based on the content as it relates to the number of specific portions of each of the plurality of outgoing messages related to the event; and

dynamically generate highlights of the event with respect to the streaming media based on the determined cumulative interest.

17. The system of claim 16 wherein determining the cumulative interest includes at least one of determining a total number of outgoing messages related to the event, determining positive, negative, and neutral feedback of the users viewing the event, determining the density of the users viewing the event with positive, negative, or neutral feedback, determining the time of the user feedback, and determining the location of a number of the users viewing the event.
