Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for receiving, at a server computer, a plurality of content messages from a plurality of content sources, each content message comprising media content and associated with a predetermined media collection, for each of the plurality of content messages received, analyzing each of the plurality of content messages to determine a quality score for each of the plurality of content messages, and storing each of the plurality of content messages in a database along with the quality score for each of the plurality of content messages. The systems and methods further provided for receiving, from an operator device, a threshold percentage for the media collection, determining a subset of the plurality of content messages associated with the media collection to be made available to the operator device based on the threshold percentage received from the operator device and the quality score for each of the plurality of content messages, and causing only the subset of the plurality of content messages associated with media collection to be displayed on the operator device for the media collection.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at a server computer, a plurality of content messages from a plurality of content sources, each content message comprising media content and associated with a predetermined media collection;

for each of the plurality of content messages received;

analyzing each of the plurality of content messages to determine a quality score for each of the plurality of content messages; and

storing each of the plurality of content messages in a database along with the quality score for each of the plurality of content messages;

receiving, from an operator device, a threshold percentage for the media collection;

determining a subset of the plurality of content messages associated with the media collection to be made available to the operator device based on the threshold percentage received from the operator device and the quality score for each of the plurality of content messages; and

causing only the subset of the plurality of content messages associated with the media collection to be displayed on the operator device for the media collection.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein analyzing each of the plurality of content messages to determine a quality score for each of the plurality of content messages is based on at least one factor from a group comprising:

explicit content likelihood, underexposure, overexposure, noise level, shakiness, blurriness, low quality compression, audio quality, areas within and event, and content messages that are all black and white.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the quality score for each of the plurality of content messages is stored as metadata associated with each of the plurality of content messages.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

sorting the plurality of content messages associated with the predetermined media collection by quality score.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the threshold percentage is a percentage by which to filter the plurality of content messages associated with the media collection.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the threshold percentage is a first value, and the method further comprising:

receiving a threshold percentage that is a second value; and

using the second value to determine a subset of newly received content messages.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined media collection is associated with a geolocation, event, topic, or common user interest.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the media collection comprises media content from a plurality of individual users.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the media content comprises at least one of a group comprising:

a photograph, a video, and audio.

10. A server computer comprising:

a processor; and

a computer readable medium coupled with the processor, the computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause a computing device to;

receive a plurality of content messages from a plurality of content sources, each content message comprising media content and associated with a predetermined media collection;

for each of the plurality of content messages received;

analyze each of the plurality of content messages to determine a quality score for each of the plurality of content messages; and

store each of the plurality of content messages in a database along with the quality score for each of the plurality of content messages;

receive, from an operator device, a threshold percentage for the media collection;

determine a subset of the plurality of content messages associated with the media collection to be made available to the operator device based on the threshold percentage received from the operator device and the quality score for each of the plurality of content messages; and

cause only the subset of the plurality of content messages associated with media collection to be displayed on the operator device for the media collection.

11. The server computer of claim 10, wherein analyzing each of the plurality of content messages to determine a quality score for each of the plurality of content messages is based on at least one factor from a group comprising:

explicit content likelihood, underexposure, overexposure, noise level, shakiness, blurriness, low quality compression, audio quality, areas within an event, and content messages that are all black and white.

12. The server computer of claim 10, wherein the quality score for each of the plurality of content messages is stored as metadata associated with the content message.

13. The server computer of claim 10, the computer readable medium further comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause a computing device to:

sort the plurality of content messages associated with the predetermined media collection by quality score.

14. The server computer of claim 10, wherein the threshold percentage is a percentage by which to filter the plurality of content messages associated with the media collection.

15. The server computer of claim 10, wherein the threshold percentage is a first value, and the computer readable medium further comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause a computing device to:

receive a threshold percentage that is a second value; and

use the second value to determine a subset of newly received content messages.

16. The server computer of claim 10, wherein the predetermined media collection is associated with a geolocation, event, topic, or common user interest.

17. The server computer of claim 10, wherein the media collection comprises media content from a plurality of individual users.

18. The server computer of claim 10, wherein the media content comprises at least one of a group comprising:

a photograph, a video, and audio.

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by at least one processor to cause a computing device to:

receive a plurality of content messages from a plurality of content sources, each content message comprising media content and associated with a predetermined media collection;

for each of the plurality of content messages received;

analyze each of the plurality of content messages to determine a quality score for each of the plurality of content messages; and

store each of the plurality of content messages in a database along with the quality score for each of the plurality of content messages;

receive, from an operator device, a threshold percentage for the media collection;

determine a subset of the plurality of content messages associated with the media collection to be made available to the operator device based on the threshold percentage received from the operator device and the quality score for each of the plurality of content messages; and

cause only the subset of the plurality of content messages associated with media collection to be displayed on the operator device for the media collection.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium 19 further comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause the computing device to:

sort the plurality of content messages associated with the predetermined media collection by quality score.
