Event-based content collection for network-based distribution
First Claim
1. A method for event-based content collection, the method comprising:
- receiving an audiovisual data file from a beacon device at a location within a venue, the audiovisual data file recorded by a combination of cameras, microphones, and environmental sensors around the beacon device, wherein a plurality of other beacon devices are each situated in another location within the venue, and wherein audiovisual data files from each beacon device include a unique identification number associated with the respective beacon device;
incorporating into the received audiovisual data file;
a geographical location of the beacon device,time data identifying a time associated with the recording of the audiovisual data file, andenvironmental sensor data from the one or more environmental sensors at the beacon device, wherein the environmental sensor data includes at least one of temperature, humidity, air pollution, allergens, wind, and altitude;
generating a database entry in an event beacon database, wherein the database entry includes at least the audiovisual data file into which the unique identification number, location data, the time data, and the environmental sensor data has been incorporated; and
supplying access to at least a subset of the database entries from the event beacon database to a viewer device, wherein the subset of database entries includes the generated database entry and at least one other database entry associated with another audiovisual data file, and wherein the subset is edited to be viewable via a social media platform prior to transmission to the viewer device.

Abstract
An event, such as a sports game, may include numerous individual event occurrences, some in a performance area (e.g., a sports field or a concert stage) and some out of the performance area (e.g., in a gym or locker room). Beacons with audiovisual capture capabilities may be set up at key points within the performance area and at important areas outside the performance area in order to capture audiovisual data from various event occurrences that might be difficult to capture otherwise. The audiovisual data may be organized into an event beacon database, which may then be supplied to various other entities, such as media providers or advertisers, to provide to their constituencies, or to sports players or event performers to provide to social media followers, or to event fans to directly access via an API or web interface.
