Abstract

An event as defined by a place and a time may be captured by multiple devices or individuals. Storing time information in association with the content item allows users to identify content associated with that event or any event. Time data may be provided in varying time bases depending on the network from which time information is determined. Accordingly, all content capturing the same event may be synchronized and aligned appropriately by adjusting the various timing information to a common time base. The synchronization and alignment is facilitated by capturing content using very fine time bases that provides accurate time stamping of content. In one or more arrangements, timing information may be adjusted using a time almanac that uses sample timing data. The content may further be assembled into a content item that provides multiple perspectives of the same event.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to the synchronization of content from multiple content sources. Background technique [0002] With the increasing popularity of handheld or other mobile devices capable of capturing different types of content, users are increasingly capturing video, audio, and still images of various events. However, timestamps associated with captured content are typically generated based on the device's internal clock, which may vary depending on user settings and, if the devices are interconnected, the type of network. Accordingly, synchronization problems may arise between content recorded using the first time reference and content recorded using the second time reference. The lack of synchronization and a common time reference can create difficulties in searching, accessing and assembling content items. Contents of the invention [0003] This Summary is provided to briefly introduce a selection of concepts that are further described b...
