Abstract

A Video Editing Apparatus with Participant Sharing is described. In one embodiment, the video editing system comprises a memory to store instructions and video data that captures an activity of a participant and one or more processing units coupled to the memory, the one or more processing units executing the instructions to determine existence of one or both of signal data and media of a co-participant in an activity and to implement editing processing logic to create a clip from the video data by processing signals and editing the video data, where the processing of the signals and the editing of the video data are based on one or more of signal data and media associated with the co-participant in the activity.

Claims

1. A video editing system comprising:

a memory to store instructions and video data that captures an activity of a participant; and

one or more processing units coupled to the memory, the one or more processing units executing the instructions to determine existence of one or both of signal data and media of a co-participant in an activity and to implement editing processing logic to create a clip from the video data by processing signals and editing the video data, wherein the processing of the signals and the editing of the video data are based on one or more of signal data and media associated with the co-participant in the activity.

2. The system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic creates the clip from the video data by extracting one or more portions from the media of the co-participant and including the one or more clips in the new video.

3. The system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic determines whether to include the one or more portions of the co-participant media based on signal data of the co-participant.

4. The system defined in claim 3 wherein at least one signal of the signal data of the co-participant indicates quality of the media, and wherein determining whether to include the one or more portions based on signal data of the co-participant includes determining whether the media is of sufficient quality to include in the new video based on the at least one signal.

5. The system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic creates the clip by creating highlights from the video data based on the signal data of the co-participant.

6. The system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic creates the clip by using the signal data of the co-participant to determine whether portions of the video data already identified for potential inclusion in the clip are included or not in the clip.

7. The system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic creates the clip by using the signal data of the co-participant to ensure one or both of quality and accuracy of portions of video data selected for inclusion in the clip.

8. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic comprises a plurality of stages.

9. The video editing system defined in claim 8 wherein at least one of the plurality of stages includes:

a signal processing stage to tag portions of video data in response to signal processing.

a highlight creation stage to create a highlight list in response to the portions identified in the signal processing stage;

a media extraction stage to extract media clip data from video data based on the highlight list from the highlight creation stage; and

a movie creation stage to create a final cut clip in response to extracted media clip data from the media extraction stage.

10. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic creates the final cut clip by tagging portions of video data capturing an activity, wherein the tagging occurs in response to processing of the signal data associated with the participant and the co-participant.

11. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic creates the final cut clip by tagging portions of video data capturing an activity, wherein the tagging occurs in response to processing of the signal data only associated with the co-participant.

12. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic creates the final cut clip by creating a highlight list used to create the final cut clip, wherein the highlight list is augmented based on highlight list data associated with the participant and the co-participant.

13. The video editing system defined in claim 12 wherein the highlight list data associated with the co-participant causes one or more additional highlights to be included in the highlight list.

14. The video editing system defined in claim 12 wherein the highlight list data associated with the co-participant impacts whether individual highlights are included in the final cut clip.

15. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic creates the final cut clip comprises extracting media clip data for inclusion in the final cut clip, the media clip data from the video data based on one or more highlights identified from signals and from the media associated with the co-participant.

16. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing processing logic automatically determines the co-participant based on one or more of an activity descriptor, location, time, and one or more sharing networks sharing the signal data and media associated with the co-participant.

17. The video editing system defined in claim 16 wherein the editing processing logic automatically determines the co-participant based on one or more sharing networks is based, at least in part, on degrees of separation between each sharing network and an originator of the video data.

18. A video editing system comprising:

a memory to store instructions and video data that captures an activity of a participant; and

one or more processing units coupled to the memory, the one or more processing units executing the instructions to determine existence of one or both of signal data and media of a co-participant in an activity and to implement editing processing logic to create a clip from the video data by processing signals and editing the video data, wherein the processing of the signals and the editing of the video data are based on one or more of signal data and media associated with the co-participant in the activity, and further

wherein the editing processing logic comprises a plurality of stages, including at least a signal processing stage to tag portions of video data in response to signal processing and a highlight creation stage to create a highlight list in response to the portions identified in the signal processing stage.

19. The system defined in claim 18 wherein the editing processing logic determines whether to include the one or more portions of the co-participant media based on signal data of the co-participant.

20. The video editing system defined in claim 18 wherein the editing processing logic automatically determines the co-participant based on one or more of an activity descriptor, location, time, and one or more sharing networks sharing the signal data and media associated with the co-participant.
