Abstract

Systems and methods are described for receiving, at a computing device, a plurality of video sources related to an event. For each video source of the plurality of video sources, the systems and methods further provide for analyzing, by the computing device, the video source of the plurality of video sources to determine a device orientation to associate with the video source, associating, by the computing device, the device orientation with the video source, and storing, by the computing device, the video source and the associated device orientation.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving from a plurality of computing devices, at a server system, a plurality of video sources related to an event, wherein each of the plurality of video sources are captured using at least one device orientation;

for each video source of the plurality of video sources received from the plurality of computing devices;

analyzing, by the server system, the video source of the plurality of video sources to determine a device orientation to associate with the video source;

associating, by the server system, the device orientation with the video source; and

storing, by the server system, the video source and the associated device orientation.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

detecting, at a server system, a device orientation;

determining, by the server system, a video source associated with the device orientation; and

providing, by the server system, the video source associated with the device orientation;

wherein the video source associated with the device orientation is displayed to the user.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein analyzing the video source of the plurality of video sources to determine a device orientation to associate with the video source comprises determining whether the video source is a landscape view or a portrait view.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

determining that the device orientation is a landscape orientation based on determining the video source is a landscape view.

5. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

determining that the device orientation is a portrait orientation based on determining the video source is a portrait view.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein analyzing the video source of the plurality of video sources to determine a device orientation to associate with the video source comprises determining an angle of a subject of the video.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

determining that the device orientation is a tilt angle based on the angle of the subject of the video.

8. The method of claim 2, wherein detecting the device orientation is based off of receiving a device orientation of a client device, from the client device.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the server system provides the video source associated with the device orientation to the client device and the client device displays the video source to the user.

10. The method of claim 2, wherein determining a video source associated with the device orientation includes accessing a database to look up the video source and associated device orientation.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein for each video source of the plurality of video sources, the method further comprising:

analyzing the video source of the plurality of video sources to determine at least one region or object to associate with the video source;

associating the at least one region or object with the video source;

storing the association of the at least one region or object.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

detecting a user input indicating a selection of a region or object of a video;

determining a video source associated with the selected region or object of the video;

providing the video source associated with the selected region or object;

wherein the video source associated with the selected region or object is displayed to the user.

13. 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 perform operations comprising;

receiving from a plurality of computing devices, a plurality of video sources related to an event, wherein each of the plurality of video sources are captured using at least one device orientation;

for each video source of the plurality of video sources received from the plurality of computing devices;

analyzing the video source of the plurality of video sources to determine a device orientation to associate with the video source;

associating the device orientation with the video source; and

storing the video source and the associated device orientation.

14. The server computer of claim 13, further comprising:

detecting a device orientation;

determining a video source associated with the device orientation; and

providing the video source associated with the device orientation;

wherein the video source associated with the device orientation is displayed to the user.

15. The server computer of claim 13, wherein analyzing the video source of the plurality of video sources to determine a device orientation to associate with the video source comprises determining whether the video source is a landscape view or a portrait view.

16. The server computer of claim 13, wherein analyzing the video source of the plurality of video sources to determine a device orientation to associate with the video source comprises determining an angle of a subject of the video and wherein the operations further comprise:

determining that the device orientation is a tilt angle based on the angle of the subject of the video.

17. The server computer of claim 13, wherein detecting a device orientation is based off of receiving a device orientation of a client device, from the client device and wherein the video source associated with the device orientation is provided to the client device and the client device displays the video source to the user.

18. The server computer of claim 13, wherein for each video source of the plurality of video sources, the operations further comprising:

analyzing the video source of the plurality of video sources to determine at least one region or object to associate with the video source;

associating the at least one region or object with the video source;

storing the association of the at least one region or object.

19. The server computer of claim 13, the operations further comprising:

detecting a user input indicating a selection of a region or object of a video;

determining a video source associated with the selected region or object of the video;

providing the video source associated with the selected region or object;

wherein the video source associated with the selected region or object is displayed to the user.

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

receiving from a plurality of computing devices, a plurality of video sources related to an event, wherein each of the plurality of video sources are captured using at least one device orientation;

for each video source of the plurality of video sources received from the plurality of computing devices;

analyzing the video source of the plurality of video sources to determine a device orientation to associate with the video source;

associating the device orientation with the video source; and

storing the video source and the associated device orientation.
