Abstract
Systems and methods for media aggregation are disclosed herein. The system includes a media system that can transform media items into one aggregated media item. A synchronization component synchronizes media items with respect to time. The synchronized media items can be analyzed and transformed into an aggregated media item for storage and/or display. In one implementation, the aggregated media item is capable of being displayed in multiple ways to create an enhanced and customizable viewing and/or listening experience.
Claims17
A media system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor that executes computer-executable instructions stored in the memory that cause the processor to:
- receive first metadata associated with a first video item captured by a first user device and second metadata associated with a second video item captured by a second user device;
- determine, based at least on the first metadata and the second metadata, that the first video item and the second video item are associated with each other;
- determine a timeline such that a first time in the first video item is synchronized with a second time in the second video item;
- aggregate the first video item and the second video item into a composite video item that includes at least a first segment from the first video item and a second segment from the second video item, wherein the first segment and the second segment are arranged in the composite video in synchronization with the determined timeline;
- cause the composite video item to be presented on a third user device in which the first video item and the second video item are simultaneously played back based on the synchronization, wherein the composite video item is a mosaic in which the first video item and the second video item are concurrently displayed;
- and
- modify presentation of the composite video item at a third time on the third user device by modifying a visual characteristic with which the first video item is presented within the mosaic based on a user preference indicated by a user of the first user device.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a server, first metadata associated with a first video item captured by a first user device and second metadata associated with a second video item captured by a second user device;
- determining, by the server, based at least on the first metadata and the second metadata, that the first video item and the second video item are associated with each other;
- determining, by the server, a timeline such that a first time in the first video item is synchronized with a second time in the second video item;
- aggregating, by the server, the first video item and the second video item into a composite video item that includes at least a first segment from the first video item and a second segment from the second video item, wherein the first segment and the second segment are arranged in the composite video in synchronization with the determined timeline;
- causing, by the server, the composite video item to be presented on a third user device in which the first video item and the second video item are simultaneously played back based on the synchronization, wherein the composite video item is a mosaic in which the first video item and the second video item are concurrently displayed;
- and
- modifying presentation of the composite video item at a third time on the third user device by modifying a visual characteristic with which the first video item is presented within the mosaic based on a user preference indicated by a user of the first user device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving first metadata associated with a first video item captured by a first user device and second metadata associated with a second video item captured by a second user device;
- determining, based at least on the first metadata and the second metadata, that the first video item and the second video item are associated with each other;
- determining a timeline such that a first time in the first video item is synchronized with a second time in the second video item;
- aggregating the first video item and the second video item into a composite video item that includes at least a first segment from the first video item and a second segment from the second video item, wherein the first segment and the second segment are arranged in the composite video in synchronization with the determined timeline;
- causing the composite video item to be presented on a third user device in which the first video item and the second video item are simultaneously played back based on the synchronization, wherein the composite video item is a mosaic in which the first video item and the second video item are concurrently displayed;
- and
- modifying presentation of the composite video item at a third time on the third user device by modifying a visual characteristic with which the first video item is presented within the mosaic based on a user preference indicated by a user of the first user device.
