METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING PERSONALIZED CONTENT
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a memory having computer instructions; and
a controller circuit coupled to the memory, wherein the controller circuit when executing the computer instructions is operable to;
receive over a network a plurality of first recorded segments captured by a first video camera at a first premises, the plurality of first recorded segments comprising video and audio content of a first user;
receive over the network a plurality of second recorded segments captured by a second video camera at a second premises, the plurality of second recorded segments comprising video and audio content of a second user;
analyze the plurality of first and second recorded segments to determine a context for each of the plurality of first and second recorded segments;
provide a set top box with access to a personalized media channel, the set top box being located at a third premises of a third user;
generate personalized content comprising at least a portion of one first recorded segment of the plurality of first recorded segments and at least a portion of one second recorded segment of the plurality of second recorded segments, the generated personalized content simulating the first and second users being together at a single location;
provide the generated personalized content via the personalized media channel to the set top box for presentation;
receive reaction information from the set top box that is representative of a reaction by the third user to the presentation of the personalized content, the reaction information being captured by an image sensor and an audio sensor coupled with the set top box for capturing video and audio content of the third user;
access first trait information associated with the first user and second trait information associated with the second user;
analyze the reaction information to determine a response, wherein the response is determined based at least in part on the first and second trait information;
select at least one other first or second recorded segment from the plurality of first and second recorded segments based on a comparison of the determined response with the determined context for each of the plurality of first and second recorded segments;
adjust the personalized content to include the selected at least one other first or second recorded segment.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, receiving reaction information from one or more sensors located at a second location that is representative of a reaction by a second user at the second location to the presentation of the personalized content, analyzing the reaction information to determine a response based at least in part on trait information associated with different first users, selecting a second portion of the recorded segments based on a comparison of the determined response with a context identified for each of received recorded segments, and adjusting personalized content to include the selected second portion of the recorded segments. Other embodiments are disclosed.
