Abstract
In one aspect, a computer-implemented method for compressing content based on a social factor, an environmental factor, and a relational factor is described. The method may include monitoring access to the content, forming, by a processor, a contextual evaluation based on the monitored access and determining an importance of the content based on the contextual evaluation. The method may further include storing the content in a compressed form, where the compressed form is selected based on the importance.
Claims16
A computer-implemented method for compressing content comprising:
- monitoring access to the content, wherein the content is captured by a first user;
- forming, by a processor, a contextual evaluation based on the monitored access and determining a level of importance of the content based on the contextual evaluation;
- storing the content in a compressed form based on a selected compression level, wherein the compression level is selected based on the level of importance;
- wherein the contextual evaluation for determining the level of importance of the content comprises:
- a social media trend measuring popularity of the content on one or more social media websites;
- a location factor indicative of a online location of a first social media sharing of the content, wherein the online location is at least one of a private zone or a public zone;
- and
- an environmental factor, wherein the environmental factor comprises:
- a geographic location of the first user based on Global Positioning System (GPS) data at a time when the first user captured the content, wherein the content is a first content;
- a geographic location of a second user with respect to the first user based on GPS data at a time when the second user captured second content;
- and
- meteorological information associated with a meteorological event, wherein the compression level for compressing the first content is selected based, at least in part, on whether the meteorological event is recorded in both the first content captured by the first user at the geographic location of the first user and in the second content captured by the second user at the geographic location of the second user with respect to the first user.

A system for compressing content comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- monitor access to the content, wherein the content is captured by a first user;
- form a contextual evaluation based on the monitored access and determine a level of importance of the content based on the contextual evaluation;
- and
- store the content in a compressed form based on a selected compression level, wherein the compression level is selected based on the level of importance;
- wherein the contextual evaluation for determining the level of importance of the content comprises:
- a social media trend measuring popularity of the content on one or more social media websites;
- a location factor indicative of a online location of a first social media sharing of the content, wherein the online location is at least one of a private zone or a public zone;
- and
- an environmental factor, wherein the environmental factor comprises:
- a geographic location of the first user based on Global Positioning System (GPS) data at a time when the first user captured the content, wherein the content is a first content;
- a geographic location of a second user with respect to the first user based on GPS data at a time when the second user captured second content;
- and
- meteorological information associated with a meteorological event, wherein the compression level for compressing the first content is selected based, at least in part, on whether the meteorological event is recorded in both the first content captured by the first user at the geographic location of the first user and in the second content captured by the second user at the geographic location of the second user with respect to the first user.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, perform a method comprising:
- monitoring access to the content, wherein the content is captured by a first user;
- forming, by a processor, a contextual evaluation based on the monitored access and determining a level of importance of the content based on the contextual evaluation;
- and
- storing the content in a compressed form based on a selected compression level, wherein the compression level is selected based on the level of importance;
- wherein the contextual evaluation for determining the level of importance of the content comprises:
- a social media trend measuring popularity of the content on one or more social media websites;
- a location factor indicative of a online location of a first social media sharing of the content, wherein the online location is at least one of a private zone or a public zone;
- and
- an environmental factor, wherein the environmental factor comprises:
- a geographic location of the first user based on Global Positioning System (GPS) data at a time when the first user captured the content, wherein the content is a first content;
- a geographic location of a second user with respect to the first user based on GPS data at a time when the second user captured second content;
- and
- meteorological information associated with a meteorological event, wherein the compression level for compressing the first content is selected based, at least in part, on whether the meteorological event is recorded in both the first content captured by the first user at the geographic location of the first user and in the second content captured by the second user at the geographic location of the second user with respect to the first user.
