Abstract

Techniques for media quality control may include receiving media information and determining the quality of the media information. The media information may be presented when the quality of the media information meets a quality control threshold. A warning may be generated when the quality of the media information does not meet the quality control threshold. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Claims

1-21. -21. (canceled)

22. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor circuit; and

a media quality control application operatively coupled to the processor circuit, the media quality control application comprising a quality review component operative to;

determine a quality of media information based on one or more quality control criteria,

present the media information when the quality of the media information meets a quality control threshold, and

generate a warning when the quality of the media information does not meet the quality control threshold.

23. The apparatus of claim 22, the media quality control application comprising:

a media type component operative to;

receive the media information, and

determine whether a type of the media information, the type comprises a three dimensional video or a three dimensional game.

24. The apparatus of claim 22, comprising:

an antenna operatively coupled to the processor circuit, the antenna operative to receive the media information.

25. The apparatus of claim 22, the media quality control application comprising:

a digital display operatively coupled to the processor circuit, the digital display operative to present the media information.

26. The apparatus of claim 22, the media quality control application comprising:

a user payment component operative to determine a payment status associated with a user of the media information.

27. The apparatus of claim 22, the media quality control application comprising:

a user payment component operative to determine whether a user associated with the media information has a subscription to a media quality control application.

28. The apparatus of claim 22, the media quality control application comprising:

a user payment component operative to receive a payment for determining the quality of the media information.

29. The apparatus of claim 22, the media quality control application comprising:

a user payment component operative to receive a login associated with a user and determine a subscription type for the user.

30. The apparatus of claim 22, the media quality control application comprising:

a media type component operative to determine whether the media information comprises a video game.

31. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving media information;

determining a quality of the media information based on one or more quality control criteria;

presenting the media information when the quality of the media information meets a quality control threshold; and

generating a warning when the quality of the media information does not meet the quality control threshold.

32. The computer-implemented method of claim 31, comprising:

determining whether the quality of the media information meets the quality control threshold.

33. The computer-implemented method of claim 31, comprising:

determining whether the media information is a three dimensional video.

34. The computer-implemented method of claim 31, comprising:

determining a payment status associated with a user of the media information.

35. The computer-implemented method of claim 31, comprising:

determining whether a user associated with the media information has a subscription to a media quality control application.

36. The computer-implemented method of claim 31, comprising:

streaming the media information from a server.

37. The computer-implemented method of claim 31, comprising:

receiving a login associated with a user; and

determining a subscription type for the user.

38. The computer-implemented method of claim 31, comprising:

receiving a second media information; and

uploading the second media information when quality of the second media information meets the quality control threshold.

39. The computer-implemented method of claim 31, comprising:

determining that the media information comprises a video game; and

downloading the media information without determining the quality of the media information.

40. At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device cause the computing device to:

determine a quality of media information based on one or more quality control criteria;

present the media information when the quality of the media information meets a quality control threshold; and

generate a warning when the quality of the media information does not meet the quality control threshold.

41. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 40 comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device cause the computing device to determine whether a user associated with the media information has a subscription to a media quality control application.

42. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 40 comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device cause the computing device to:

receive a login associated with a user; and

determine a subscription type for the user.

43. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 40 comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device cause the computing device to:

receive a second media information; and

upload the second media information when quality of the second media information meets the quality control threshold.

44. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 40 comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device cause the computing device to:

determine that the media information comprises a video game; and

download the media information without determining the quality of the media information.

45. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 40 comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device cause the computing device to determine whether the media information is a three dimensional video.

46. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 40 comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device cause the computing device to determine a payment status associated with a user of the media information.

47. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 40 comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device cause the computing device to determine whether a user associated with the media information has a subscription to a media quality control application.

48. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 40 comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device cause the computing device to stream the media information from a server.
