Abstract

A machine includes a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to receive a message with audio content and video content. Audio fingerprints within the audio content are evaluated. The audio fingerprints are matched to known audio fingerprints to establish matched audio fingerprints. A determination is made whether the matched audio fingerprints correspond to a designated gallery constructed to receive a sequence of videos set to an audio time line. The matched audio fingerprints and corresponding video content are added to the audio time line. The operations are repealed until the audio time line is populated with corresponding video content to form a completed gallery with video segments set to audio segments that constitute a complete audio time line. The completed gallery is supplied in response to a request.

Claims

1-15. -15. (canceled)

16. A method comprising:

receiving, at a computing device, a selection from a first user of a selectable song;

receiving a message from the first user including video content taken by the first user to be incorporated into an audio timeline of the selectable song;

adding the video content to the audio timeline; and

causing the video content and audio timeline to be supplied to a second user in response to a request from the second user, wherein supplying the video content and audio timeline in response to the request from the second user comprises;

determining that the video content and audio timeline correspond to a designated gallery; and

including the video content and audio timeline in the designated gallery.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the video content and audio timeline are supplied to the second user via the designated gallery.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein the designated gallery is associated with a band.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein the designated gallery is associated with the selectable song and wherein after receiving the selection from the first user of the selectable song, the user is registered with the designated gallery associated with the selectable song.

20. The method of claim 16, wherein the video content included in the message from the first user includes up to six seconds of video content.

21. The method of claim 16, wherein the designated gallery comprises a collection of messages.

22. The method of claim 16, wherein the designated gallery is available specified transitory period of time.

23. A computing device comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled with the processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the computing device to;

receive a selection from a first user of a selectable song;

receive a message from the first user including video content taken by the first user to be incorporated into an audio timeline of the selectable song;

add the video content to the audio timeline; and

cause the video content and audio timeline to be supplied to a second user in response to a request from the second user, wherein supplying the video content and audio timeline in response to the request from the second user comprises;

determining that the video content and audio timeline correspond to a designated gallery; and

including the video content and audio timeline in the designated gallery.

24. The computing device of claim 23, wherein the video content and audio timeline are supplied to the second user via the designated gallery.

25. The computing device of claim 23, wherein the designated gallery is associated with a band.

26. The computing device of claim 23, wherein the designated gallery is associated with the selectable song and wherein after receiving the selection from the first user of the selectable song, the user is registered with the designated gallery associated with the selectable song.

27. The computing device of claim 23, wherein the video content included in the message from the first user includes up to six seconds of video content.

28. The computing device of claim 23, wherein the designated gallery comprises a collection of messages.

29. The computing device of claim 23, wherein the designated gallery is available for a specified transitory period of time.

30. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computing device to:

receive a selection from a first user of a selectable song;

receive a message from the first user including video content taken by the first user to be incorporated into an audio timeline of the selectable song;

add the video content to the audio timeline; and

cause the video content and audio timeline to be supplied to a second user in response to a request from the second user, wherein supplying the video content and audio timeline in response to the request from the second user comprises;

determining that the video content and audio timeline correspond to a designated gallery; and

including the video content and audio timeline in the designated gallery.

31. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 30, wherein the video content and audio timeline are supplied to the second user via the designated gallery.

32. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 30, wherein the designated gallery is associated with the selectable song and wherein after receiving the selection from the first user of the selectable song, the user is registered with the designated gallery associated with the selectable song.

33. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 30, wherein the video content included in the message from the first user includes up to six seconds of video content.

34. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 30, wherein the designated gallery comprises a collection of messages.

35. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 30, wherein the designated gallery is available for a specified transitory period of time.
