Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to media player and media content management, and in particular to capturing and sharing media content among users, distributing shared media content with advertisements, and financial arrangements among distributors, advertisers, and content owners.
  • Background of the Invention [0002] Television and other video content, as well as a myriad of other multimedia, are increasingly finding a home on new devices. For example, television programming is no longer found solely on the television. Through computer networks, as well as other delivery mechanisms, television and other media content are increasingly becoming available on other devices, such as personal computers, mobile phones, PDAs, and other portable computing devices. The increasing availability of the media content also enables viewers to record and share them with others.
  • TiVo connected their living room television may see something that catches his interest. Furthermore, he may have a desire to share what he just saw with a friend or a community of individuals. If so, he must engage in a multistep process, which likely involves multiple applications using multiple devices to accomplish the task of capture, edit, and upload.
  • the user must connect the DVR to another device, such as a PC, in order to capture in a format for upload. This likely involves connecting the DVR via analog cables to a PC with a video capture card.
  • the user would use an application such as Windows Media Encoder to digitize the content to create compressed digital file. Once that file is created, the user can then visit a community web site, which may have its own tools for allowing the consumer to upload the video. As part of this process, the video may need to be transcoded into a format compatible with the Web site, which would add additional time to the process. This process is both user unfriendly and inefficient.
  • P2P computer network is a network that relies primarily on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating them in a relatively low number of servers. Users of the P2P computer network can share media content stored in computers on the network. However, because much of the media content shared includes copies of copyrighted popular multimedia content (e.g., music and movies), sharing of the media content without copyright owners' permissions is illegal in most jurisdictions. Copyright owners (also known as content owners) tend not to grant such permissions because they do not receive any benefit in return. Also, P2P computer network does not provide content owners with the ability to control the distribution of their media content.
  • copyright owners also known as content owners
  • Another conventional approach to share media content is for the content owners to provide mechanisms for users to share their media content.
  • the content owners can provide their media content in their websites. People who want to access the media content can visit these websites to access them.
  • this approach is inconvenient for the users because there is no central place to access media content.
  • not all content owners have the financial capacity to provide mechanisms for users to access their media content.
  • Embodiments of one disclosed invention allow users to capture media content from a media source or stream while playing it and then share the captured media content with other users through an integrated user interface in a media device.
  • the media device receives a media stream, plays the media stream, and caches a portion of the media stream as it is being played.
  • a user provides a user interface with a command to capture a segment of the media stream being played on the device.
  • the captured segment may comprise, for example, a video clip.
  • the user can use the user interface to define the clip by selecting start and end boundaries in the cached portion of the media stream and to input meta data describing the clip.
  • the media device creates the media clip based on the user's input and transmits the clip to another system, such as a community website for sharing the clip with other users.
  • Another embodiment enables users of a community website to share media content with other users of the website while grant rights to owners of the shared media content to control the use of their content.
  • Embodiments of the invention also enable the operator of the website to generate advertising revenue and share the revenue with the content owners for the sharing of their content.
  • the community website receives media content from users and combines the media content with advertisements. Upon users' request for the media content, the community website provides the combined media content and advertisements to the users. The community website receives advertisement fees from advertisers in exchange for providing the combined media content and advertisements to the users. The community website provides a portion of the advertisement fees to owners of the media content in exchange for permission to provide the combined media content and advertisements to the users.
  • owners of media content can set restrictions on their media content to control the use of their media content. In exchange for the website's enforcement of the restrictions the content owners may give permission to distribute the content items.
  • advertisers can set restrictions on their advertisements to control the combination of the advertisements with the media content.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an architecture of a media device, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a process for recording and sharing media clips, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGs. 3(a)-(c) illustrate examples of user interfaces for recording and sharing media clips, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an architecture of a media content management system, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is an interaction diagram of a process for sharing media content, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating the interactions among the website, users, advertisers, and content owners in a business model using the media content management system, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • Embodiments of the invention provide an integrated user interface to users of a media device to view media content, record media clips, edit the clips, associate the clips with relevant meta data, and share the processed media clips with others.
  • media content and media clips may include any type of media content, including audio or video content, or both. Users can view a media stream, record a portion of the media stream they deemed interesting into a media clip, and send the media clip to others using the integrated user interface.
  • Embodiments of the invention allow users of a media content management system to share media content with other users of the system.
  • Users of the media content management system can upload media content (e.g., media clips) to the system to share the uploaded media content to others, who can download that media content from the system.
  • the media may ultimately be distributed to viewers via a peer to peer distributed system. That is, the content may be alternatively stored on the computers and other devices of the end users of the system.
  • the clip is sourced from one or more of the other users, or peers.
  • Embodiments of the invention allow owners of the shared media content
  • the media device 100 receives 220 a command from a user to clip or otherwise capture a portion of the media.
  • the user may submit the command by interacting with the integrated user interface.
  • the user can trigger a designated control (e.g., the record button 314) using a pointing device (e.g., a mouse or touch sensitive screen) or using a keypad.
  • the user may submit the command using devices such as a remote control (e.g., a remote control for a DVR, cable box, satellite receiver, or other media source).
  • a user can select the desired start point and end point through the media editing window. For example, in the user interface illustrated in Fig. 3(b), a user can make the selection by marking the start and end points on the slider 324.
  • the media device 100 checks and enforces restrictions contained in the metadata of the media stream or otherwise associated therewith. For example, if the restrictions limit the duration of a clip, the media device 100 will not allow the media clip to exceed that limit.
  • the user may also select a frame within the media clip as a representative thumbnail image for the media clip.
  • the media device 100 creates a media clip based on the user selection. [0040]
  • the media device 100 may also tag 240 information to the media clip, such as meta data that describes the clip.
  • the information may further include information expressly associated with the video clip, which may be delivered via the VBI, over an IP network, or by some other means. Other information, such as the closed captioning, may also be a source for automatic tagging.
  • the information tabbed to the media clip can be stored in its metadata.
  • the user can also change the format of the media clip and set other encoding parameters, such as bit rate.
  • the media device 100 can transmit 250 the media clip as the user instructs.
  • the media device 100 is a laptop computer.
  • the media device 100 receives a video stream from a placeshifting system (e.g., a SLINGBOXTM) and plays the video stream in an integrated user interface on the computer screen to a user.
