Abstract

A method of operation of a composite broadcast system includes: receiving a client AV stream from a user station and a user profile associated with the client AV stream; receiving a user interaction from the user station; approving the client AV stream for airing based on the user interaction and the user profile; receiving a program AV stream; generating a visualization based on the user interaction and the user profile; and mixing the client AV stream, the program AV stream, and the visualization for broadcasting to multiple devices.

Claims

1. A method of operation of a composite broadcast system comprising:

receiving a client AV stream remotely over a network channel from a user station and a user profile associated with the client AV stream, the user profile associated with a social networking system connecting the user profile to other user profiles;

receiving a user interaction from the user station;

approving the client AV stream for airing based on the user interaction and the user profile;

receiving a program AV stream;

generating a visualization based on the user interaction and the user profile; and

mixing the client AV stream, the program AV stream, and the visualization into an output video feed for broadcasting to multiple devices.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein mixing the client AV stream, the program AV stream, and the visualization includes generating two video streams for broadcasting a 3D video.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein mixing the client AV stream, the program AV stream, and the visualization is customized for broadcasting to a specific type of devices.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining a geographical location of the user station; and

wherein generating the visualization includes generating the visualization based on the geographical location.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein approving the client AV stream for airing includes approving from a director terminal.

6. A machine-readable storage medium containing executable instructions capable of being executed by a processor, comprising:

instructions for receiving a client AV stream remotely over a network channel from a user station and a user profile associated with the client AV stream, the user profile associated with a social networking system connecting the user profile to other user profiles;

instructions for approving the client AV stream for airing based on the user profile;

instructions for receiving a program AV stream;

instructions for receiving an application input from an API module;

instructions for generating a visualization based on the application input; and

instructions for mixing the client AV stream, the program AV stream, and the visualization into an output video feed for broadcasting to multiple devices.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein receiving the application input from the API module includes receiving the application input from a mobile application.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein receiving the application input from the API module includes receiving the application input from a social network site.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein generating the visualization includes generating the visualization specific to a geographical area of viewers;

and

wherein mixing the client AV stream, the program AV stream, and the visualization for broadcasting to multiple devices with the geographical area.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein receiving the client AV stream from the user station includes receiving the client AV stream when the user station has been determined to not be on an exclusion list.

11. A composite broadcast system comprising:

a user input module, coupled to a mix module, for receiving a client AV stream remotely over a network channel from a user station and a user profile associated with the client AV stream, the user profile associated with a social networking system connecting the user profile to other user profiles;

a user interaction module, coupled to a visualization module, for receiving a user interaction from the user station;

a selection module, coupled to the user input module and the user interaction module, for approving the client AV stream for airing based on the user interaction and the user profile;

a program AV module, coupled to the mix module, for receiving a program AV stream;

the visualization module for generating a visualization based the user interaction and the user profile; and

the mix module for mixing the client AV stream, the program AV stream, and the visualization into an output video feed for broadcasting to multiple devices.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the mix module is for generating two video streams for broadcasting a 3D video.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the mix module is customized for broadcasting to a specific type of devices.

14. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

a location analytics module for determining a geographical location of the user station; and

wherein the visualization module is for generating the visualization based on the geographical location.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the selection module is for approving the user feed from a director terminal.

16. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

an application interface module, coupled to the visualization module, for receiving an application input; and

wherein the visualization module is for generating a visualization based on the application input.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the application interface module is for receiving the application input from a mobile application.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the application interface module is for receiving the application input from a social network site.

19. The system of claim 16, wherein the visualization module is for generating the visualization specific to a geographical area of viewers;

and wherein the mix module is for mixing the client AV stream, the program AV stream, and the visualization for broadcasting to multiple devices with the geographical area.

20. The system of claim 16, wherein the user input module is for receiving the client AV stream when the user station has been determined to not be on an exclusion list.
