Abstract
A method includes receiving media data corresponding to a media content item. The method includes analyzing the media data to determine characteristics of the media content item based on first visual information of the media content item. The method includes analyzing the characteristics of the media content item based on a media popularity data structure to generate a prediction of whether the media content item is likely to exceed a popularity threshold within a particular period of time. The method further includes determining a location to store the media data based on the prediction.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, media data corresponding to a media content item;
- analyzing, at the computing device, the media data to determine characteristics of the media content item based on first visual information of the media content item;
- analyzing, at the computing device, the characteristics of the media content item based on a media popularity data structure to generate a prediction of whether the media content item is likely to exceed a popularity threshold within a particular period of time wherein the media popularity data structure includes a boundary condition based on:
- a first set of surfaces generated based on second visual information of a first set of media content items that have exceeded the popularity threshold;
- and
- a second set of surfaces generated based on third visual information of a second set of media content items that have not exceeded the popularity threshold;
- and
- determining a location to store the media data based on the prediction.
A computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving media data corresponding to a media content item;
- analyzing the media data to determine characteristics of the media content item based on first visual information of the media content item;
- analyzing the characteristics of the media content item based on a media popularity data structure to generate a prediction of whether the media content item is likely to exceed a popularity threshold within a particular period of time, wherein the media popularity data structure comprises a boundary condition based on:
- a first set of surfaces generated based on second visual information of a first set of media content items that have exceeded the popularity threshold;
- and
- a second set of surfaces generated based on third visual information of a second set of media content items that have not exceeded the popularity threshold;
- and
- determining a location to store the media data based on the prediction.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving media data corresponding to a media content item;
- generating a prediction of whether the media content item is likely to exceed a popularity threshold within a particular period of time,
- the prediction generated based on a comparison of characteristics of the media content item to a media popularity data structure, the characteristics identified based on visual information included in the media content item, wherein the media popularity data structure comprises a boundary condition based on:
- a first set of surfaces generated based on second visual information of a first set of media content items that have exceeded the popularity threshold;
- and
- a second set of surfaces generated based on third visual information of a second set of media content items that have not exceeded the popularity threshold;
- and
- determining a location to store the media data based on the prediction.
