Generate and update an event-based playback experience

Abstract

The present invention relates to generating and updating event-based playback experiences. Exemplary methods, devices, and systems for capturing, organizing, sharing, and / or displaying media are disclosed. For example, using embodiments of the disclosed technology, a unified playback and browsing experience for media collections can be automatically created. For example, heuristics and metadata can be used to assemble commentary and add it to media data. Furthermore, this representation of media can dynamically reorganize itself as more media is added to the collection. While a collection may use a single user's content, sometimes it is desirable that the media included in the collection be captured by friends and / or others at the same event. In some embodiments, event-related media content can be automatically collected and shared among selected groups. Additionally, in some embodiments, new media can be automatically included in the media collection associated with the event, and the playback experience updated dynamically.

Description

technical field [0001] Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for grouping, playback, and sharing of digital media among users of computing devices, such as mobile computing devices. Background technique [0002] Mobile computing devices, such as smart phones, handheld computers, and touch-screen tablets, are becoming increasingly popular and offer an ever-expanding array of functionality. For example, today's mobile devices often have the ability to remotely access the Internet, access a user's email and / or social networking accounts, use a built-in camera to capture images or video, use one or more built-in microphones to capture audio, and store a large number of user capacity for information. User information may include, for example, personal information such as photos, videos, messages, emails, and / or contact information of friends and acquaintances. Due to their compact design, mobile devices are often carried all day by users at home as well as when travelin...
