Methods and apparatus for creating an individualized record of an event
First Claim
1. A method, comprising acts of:
- (A) receiving a plurality of transmissions over a period of time, from a device adapted to be worn by a user, by one or more of a plurality of receiver components each deployed at a location at which an event occurs, one or more of the plurality of transmissions comprising an instruction from a user of the device to capture content, the location comprising a plurality of physically separate zones in which distinct event proceedings occur;
(B) determining, based at least in part on a time at which each one of the plurality of transmissions was received by one or more of the plurality of receiver components and a location of each of the one or more receiver components when the one transmission was received, a particular zone of the plurality of zones that was viewable by the user at the time of the one transmission and a vantage point from which the event proceedings in the particular zone were then viewable by the user, wherein determining the particular zone and vantage point viewable by the user at the time of a first transmission of the plurality of transmissions comprises processing information, provided by the first transmission, that is received by more than one of the plurality of receiver components;
(C) causing content relating to the event proceedings to be captured by a plurality of content capture components each deployed at the location;
(D) identifying a plurality of portions of the captured content as having each been captured from a vantage point and at a time when the event proceedings in the zone represented in the portion of captured content were viewable by the user, wherein the identified plurality of portions comprises a first portion captured from a first vantage point of a first event proceeding in a first zone as the first zone was viewable by the user, and a second portion captured from a second vantage point of a second event proceeding in a second zone as the second zone was viewable by the user; and
(E) enabling the user to access and edit the identified plurality of portions of captured content.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to capturing a record of an event which is individualized to a specific event attendee. Event attendees carry a wearable device configured to periodically transmit a payload that may, for example, include an identifier for the wearable device. The device'"'"'s transmissions may be received by one or more receiver components located at the event venue. Each receiver component may have one or more associated content capture components configured to capture content (e.g., video, audio, text, etc.) relating to the event as it is ongoing. The location of each receiver component over time is known, and so receipt of transmissions from the wearable device by different receiver components over time indicates an approximate location of the attendee over time, and thus the vantage point(s) from which the attendee witnessed the event. The attendee'"'"'s location over time may be correlated with content captured from different locations during the same time period to create a record of the event which is individualized to the attendee.

16. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon which, when executed in a system comprising at least one computer, cause the at least one computer to perform a method comprising acts of:
-
(A) accessing data on a plurality of transmissions received over a period of time, from a device adapted to be worn by a user, by one or more of a plurality of receiver components each deployed at a location at which an event occurs, one or more of the plurality of transmissions comprising an instruction from a user of the device to capture content, the location comprising a plurality of physically separate zones in which distinct event proceedings occur; (B) determining, based at least in part on data indicating a time at which each one of the plurality of transmissions was received by one or more of the plurality of receiver components and a location of each of the one or more receiver components when the one transmission was received, a particular zone of the plurality of zones that was viewable by the user at the time of the one transmission and a vantage point from which the event proceedings in the particular zone were then viewable by the user, wherein determining the particular zone and vantage point viewable by the user at the time of a first transmission of the plurality of transmissions comprises processing information, provided by the first transmission, that is received by more than one of the plurality of receiver components; (C) causing content relating to the event proceedings to be captured by a plurality of content capture components each deployed at the location; (D) identifying a plurality of portions of the captured content as having each been captured from a vantage point and at a time when the event proceedings in the zone represented in the portion of captured content were viewable by the user, wherein the identified plurality of portions comprises a first portion captured from a first vantage point of a first event proceeding in a first zone as the first zone was viewable by the user, and a second portion captured from a second vantage point of a second event proceeding in a second zone as the second zone was viewable by the user; and (E) enabling the user to access and edit the identified plurality of portions of captured content.

17. Apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having instructions encoded thereon; and at least one computer processor, programmed via the instructions to; access data on a plurality of transmissions received over a period of time, from a device adapted to be worn by a user, by one or more of a plurality of receiver components each deployed at a location at which an event occurs, one or more of the plurality of transmissions comprising an instruction from a user to capture content, the location comprising a plurality of physically separate zones in which distinct event proceedings occur; determine, based at least in part on data indicating a time at which each one of the plurality of transmissions was received by one or more of the plurality of receiver components and a location of each of the one or more receiver components when the one transmission was received, a particular zone of the plurality of zones that was viewable by the user at the time of the one transmission and a vantage point from which the event proceedings in the particular zone were then viewable by the user, wherein determining the particular zone and vantage point viewable by the user at the time of a first transmission of the plurality of transmissions comprises processing information, provided by the first transmission, that is received by more than one of the plurality of receiver components; cause content relating to the event proceedings to be captured by a plurality of content capture components each deployed at the location; identify a plurality of portions of the captured content as having each been captured from a vantage point and at a time when the event proceedings in the zone represented in the portion of captured content were viewable by the user, wherein the identified plurality of portions comprises a first portion captured from a first vantage point of a first event proceeding in a first zone as the first zone was viewable by the user, and a second portion captured from a second vantage point of a second event proceeding in a second zone as the second zone was viewable by the user; and enable the user to access and edit the identified plurality of portions of captured content. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
