Abstract

Systems, devices and methods are described including determining a goal for collaborative media gathering, automatically generating a plurality of tasks specifying the capture of media associated with the goal, storing the tasks, and providing the tasks to a plurality of users. The goal may be automatically determined in response to real-time social media analysis.

Claims

1. A system for automated collaborative media gathering, comprising:

a first module to determine a goal for collaborative media gathering; and

a second module to automatically generate a plurality of tasks specifying the capture of media associated with the goal, to store the tasks in memory, and to provide the tasks to a plurality of users.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first module is to receive user feedback from at least one of the users, wherein the user feedback comprises information specifying at least one of a current status of at least one task being performed by the user, one or more additional tasks to be associated with the goal, or a modification to be applied to one or more of the tasks.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the first module is to receive the user feedback in real-time over at least one network.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the second module is to provide the tasks to the plurality of users over a peer-to-peer network.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein to automatically generate the tasks the second module is to perform at least one of a visual media processing algorithm, an audio and speech processing algorithm, a social media analysis and natural language processing algorithm, or a machine learning and statistical analysis algorithm.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a third module to receive media captured by at least one of the plurality of users in response to at least one of the tasks.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the second module is to automatically generate one or more additional tasks in response to the captured media.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein to determine the goal the first module is to automatically determine the goal in response to real-time social media analysis.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein to determine the goal the first module is to determine the goal in response to at least one of the users.

10. An automated collaborative media gathering method comprising:

determining a goal for collaborative media gathering;

automatically generating a plurality of tasks specifying the capture of media associated with the goal;

storing the tasks; and

providing the tasks to a plurality of users.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising receiving user feedback from at least one of the users, wherein the user feedback comprises information specifying at least one of a current status of at least one task being performed by the user, one or more additional tasks to be associated with the goal, or a modification to be applied to one or more of the tasks.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein receiving the user feedback comprises receiving, in real-time over at least one network, the user feedback from at least one of the users.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein providing the tasks to the plurality of users comprises providing the tasks over a peer-to-peer network.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein automatically generating the plurality of tasks comprises performing at least one of a visual media processing algorithm, an audio and speech processing algorithm, a social media analysis and natural language processing algorithm, or a machine learning and statistical analysis algorithm.

15. The method of claim 10, further comprising receiving media captured by at least one of the plurality of users in response to at least one of the tasks.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising automatically generating one or more additional tasks in response to the captured media.

17. The method of claim 10, wherein determining the goal comprises automatically determining the goal in response to real-time social media analysis.

18. The method of claim 10, wherein determining the goal comprises setting the goal in response to at least one of the users.

19. The method of claim 10, further comprising updating at least one of the goals or tasks in response to user feedback.

20. An article comprising one or more computer program products having stored therein instructions that, if executed, result in:

determining a goal for collaborative media gathering;

automatically generating a plurality of tasks specifying the capture of media associated with the goal;

storing the tasks; and

providing the tasks to a plurality of users.

21. The article of claim 20, further comprising receiving user feedback from at least one of the users, wherein the user feedback comprises information specifying at least one of a current status of at least one task being performed by the user, one or more additional tasks to be associated with the goal, or a modification to be applied to one or more of the tasks.

22. The article of claim 21, wherein receiving the user feedback comprises receiving, in real-time over at least one network, the user feedback from at least one of the users.

23. The article of claim 20, wherein providing the tasks to the plurality of users comprises providing the tasks over a peer-to-peer network.

24. The article of claim 20, wherein automatically generating the plurality of tasks comprises performing at least one of a visual media processing algorithm, an audio and speech processing algorithm, a social media analysis and natural language processing algorithm, or a machine learning and statistical analysis algorithm.

25. The article of claim 20, further comprising receiving media captured by at least one of the plurality of users in response to at least one of the tasks.

26. The article of claim 25, further comprising automatically generating one or more additional tasks in response to the captured media.

27. The article of claim 20, wherein determining the goal comprises automatically determining the goal in response to real-time social media analysis.

28. The article of claim 20, wherein determining the goal comprises setting the goal in response to at least one of the users.

29. The article of claim 20, further comprising updating at least one of the goals or tasks in response to user feedback.
