METHOD FOR PROVIDING A VIDEO, TRANSMITTING DEVICE, AND RECEIVING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method, executed by a computer, for providing a video to a user, the method comprising:
- (a) acquiring (i) a first main video captured of a first capture space which is a portion of a capture space, and (ii) a second main video captured of a second capture space including a space other than the first capture space, the second capture space being a partial space of the capture space;
(b) generating a wide-angle video by combining the first main video and the second main video acquired in step (a);
(c) acquiring user preference information of the user via a network;
(d) calculating a cropping region, based on the user preference information acquired in step (c), the cropping region being a partial area of the wide-angle video and smaller than an area captured in the wide-angle video;
(e) cropping the wide-angle video generated in step (b) into the cropping region calculated in step (d); and
(f) providing the user with a cropped video generated by cropping the wide-angle video in step (e).

Abstract
A method for providing a video includes: (a) acquiring a first main video captured of a first capture space, and a second main video captured of a second capture space including a space other than the first capture space; (b) generating a wide-angle video by combining the plurality of main videos acquired in step (a); (c) acquiring user preference information via a network; (d) calculating a region to be cropped which is a region of the wide-angle video and smaller than the area captured in the wide-angle video, based on the user preference information acquired in step (c); (e) cropping the wide-angle video into the cropping region; and (f) providing, to a user, a cropped video generated by cropping the wide-angle video.

18. A transmitting device for transmitting to a user a video edited based on user preference information of the user, the transmitting device comprising:
-
a video acquisition unit configured to acquire (i) a first main video captured of a first capture space which is a portion of a capture space, and (ii) a second main video captured of a second capture space including a space other than the first capture space, the second capture space being a partial space of the capture space; a video generation unit configured to generate a wide-angle video by combining the first main video and the second main video acquired by the video acquisition unit; an information acquisition unit configured to acquire user preference information via a network; a region calculating unit configured to calculate a cropping region, based on the user preference information acquired by the information acquisition unit, the cropping region being an area of a portion of the wide-angle video and smaller than an area captured in the wide-angle video; a cropping unit configured to crop the wide-angle video generated by the video generation unit to the cropping region calculated by the region calculating unit; and a video providing unit configured to provide the user with a cropped video generated by the cropping unit cropping the wide-angle video. - View Dependent Claims (19)
