SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING A SELECTIVE DISTRIBUTION OF MEDIA CONTENT FEEDS
First Claim
1. A method of identifying content for delivery to a mobile device, comprising:
- identifying a set of media sources available in a network; and
identifying at least a subset of the set of media sources for delivery to the mobile device based on a set of access criteria, the set of access criteria comprising at least one of;
(a) position, speed, and direction data for the mobile device,(b) compass orientation data for a video sensor of the mobile device, or(c) a set of static data associated with the set of media sources.

Abstract
Aspects relate to systems and methods for generating a selective distribution of media content feeds. A content server can identify a set of mobile video cameras or other sources for delivery to a mobile device, based on a state of motion or orientation of the mobile device. Media content can be collected from video-equipped cellular devices capable of reporting their position, bearing, speed, and other sensor data. In one aspect, the position, bearing, and speed of the mobile device along with similar data for the media sources can be taken into account to generate a media envelope, or included set of media devices, to make available to the user. In one aspect, the selected content can be based on the compass orientation of a sensor in the mobile device. In one implementation, user preferences along with other access criteria can be used to further select content feeds.
