Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- accessing, by a computing system, data associated with a program schedule for a media program;
based on the accessed data, selecting, by the computing system, a social media (SM) content item, wherein the SM content item was published by a SM user, and wherein the SM user is associated with a first SM account; and
responsive to selecting the SM content item, causing, by the computing system, a SM platform to request the SM user to authorize a link between the first SM account and a second SM account,wherein the accessed data relates to a person, place, event, or topic,wherein the SM content item includes data relating to a person, place, event, or topic, andwherein selecting the SM content item comprises selecting the SM content item based on the accessed data having a threshold extent of similarity with the data of the SM content item.

-
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the computing system is a component of a media production system.
-
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the accessed data comprises data included in the program schedule.
-
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the accessed data comprises data selected from the group consisting of:
-
(i) text that is a description element of a record of the program schedule; (ii) text scheduled to be provided to a teleprompter; (iii) text that is scheduled to be used by a digital-video effect (DVE) system in connection with executing a DVE; (iv) data identifying a location where a video content item was recorded; and (v) data identifying a time when a video content item was recorded.
-
-
5. The method of claim 1, wherein causing the SM platform to request the SM user to authorize the link between the first SM account and the second SM account comprises transmitting an instruction to a server of the SM platform, wherein the server is configured for (i) receiving the instruction, and (ii) responsive to receiving the instruction, requesting the SM user to authorize the link between the first SM account and the second SM account.
-
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving, by the computing system, an indication that the SM user authorized the link between the first SM account and the second SM account.
-
7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:
responsive to receiving the indication that the SM user authorized the link between the first SM account and the second SM account, performing, by the computing system, an action.
-
8. The method of claim 7, wherein performing the action comprises:
-
accessing, by the computing system, an additional SM content item published through the first SM account; and integrating, by the computing system, the additional SM content item into the media program.
-
-
9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that upon execution by a processor, cause performance of a set of acts comprising:
-
accessing, by a computing system, data associated with a program schedule for a media program; based on the accessed data, selecting, by the computing system, a social media (SM) content item, wherein the SM content item was published by a SM user, and wherein the SM user is associated with a first SM account; and responsive to selecting the SM content item, causing, by the computing system, a SM platform to request the SM user to authorize a link between the first SM account and a second SM account, wherein the accessed data relates to a person, place, event, or topic, wherein the SM content item includes data relating to a person, place, event, or topic, and wherein selecting the SM content item comprises selecting the SM content item based on the accessed data having a threshold extent of similarity with the data of the SM content item.
-
-
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the computing system is a component of a media production system.
-
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the accessed data comprises data included in the program schedule.
-
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the accessed data comprises data selected from the group consisting of:
-
(i) text that is a description element of a record of the program schedule; (ii) text scheduled to be provided to a teleprompter; (iii) text that is scheduled to be used by a digital-video effect (DVE) system in connection with executing a DVE; (iv) data identifying a location where a video content item was recorded; and (v) data identifying a time when a video content item was recorded.
-
-
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein causing the SM platform to request the SM user to authorize the link between the first SM account and the second SM account comprises transmitting an instruction to a server of the SM platform, wherein the server is configured for (i) receiving the instruction, and (ii) responsive to receiving the instruction, requesting the SM user to authorize the link between the first SM account and the second SM account.
-
