Abstract

An example method for sharing a personal data channel in accordance with the present disclosure includes collecting a selection of personal data associated with a user, synthesizing a personal data channel using the selected personal data, and delivering the personal data channel to at least one multimedia device.

Claims

1. A method for sharing a personal data channel, comprising:

collecting a selection of personal data associated with a user;

synthesizing, at a user device, a personal data channel using the selected personal data; and

delivering the personal data channel to at least one multimedia device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one multimedia device is associated with at least one user eligible to receive the personal data channel.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a list of users eligible to receive the personal data channel;

identifying multimedia devices associated with the list of users; and

offering the personal data channel to the identified multimedia devices associated with the list of users.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the selection of personal data has a plurality of data types.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the plurality of data types comprises at least one or combination of photo, video, audio, and text.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein collecting the selection of personal data associated with the user further comprises collecting the selection of personal data from at least one of local data sources and a cloud data source.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein delivering the personal channel to the at least one multimedia device further comprises delivering the personal channel through a device-to-device connection, or delivering the personal channel remotely through a cloud data source.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein synthesizing the personal data channel, at the user device, using the selected personal data further comprises:

receiving a channel organization specification; and

creating the personal data channel based on the channel organization specification.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

capturing feedback at the at least one multimedia device in response to the delivery of the personal data channel; and

prioritizing delivery of personal data channels to the at least one multimedia device based on the feedback.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

capturing feedback at the at least one multimedia device in response to the delivery of the personal data channel; and

modifying the personal data channel based on the feedback.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising inserting advertisements into the personal data channel based on the selected personal data.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising managing digital rights related to personal data to be delivered over the personal data channel.

13. A system for generating a personal data channel comprising:

a content module to collect a selection of personal data associated with a user; and

a channel module to synthesize, at a multimedia device, a personal data channel using the collected personal data.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the content module collects the selected personal data from at least one of a user device and a cloud data source.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the personal data associated with the user has a plurality of data types.

16. The system of claim 13, further comprising a sharing module to share the personal data channel with at least one other multimedia device.

17. The system of claim 13, further comprising:

a data manager to capture feedback related to the personal data channel from at least one viewer at the multimedia device; and

a prioritization manager to prioritize delivery of personal data channels to the multimedia device based on the feedback from the viewer.

18. The system of claim 13, further comprising an advertisements module to insert commercials into the personal data channel based on the selected personal data.

19. The system of claim 13, further comprising a licensing manager to manage digital rights related to personal data to be delivered over the personal data channel.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a system to:

collect a selection of personal data associated with a user;

synthesize, at a user device, a personal data channel using the selected personal data; and

deliver the personal data channel to at least one multimedia device.
