Abstract

Embodiments describe an approach for crowdsource recording and sharing of media files. Embodiments identify one or more extended audio sources, wherein the one or more extended audio sources are one or more internet of things (IOT) extended audio devices and pair a IOT video capture device with the one or more IOT extended audio devices. Further, embodiments, synchronize an audio recording on the one or more IOT extended audio devices with digital imagery capture on the IOT video capture device and save, the captured digital imagery as one or more media files and the recorded audio as one or more audio files. Additionally, embodiments, process the one or more media files and the one or more audio files by integrating the one or more audio files into the one or more media files and output the processed media file to the IOT video capture device.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method for crowdsource recording and sharing of media files, the method comprising:

identifying, by one or more processors, one or more extended audio sources that are enabled to be found within a predetermined maximum distance established by a user, wherein the one or more extended audio sources are one or more internet of things (JOT) extended audio devices;
enabling, by temporary pairing, a preview of audio quality of one or more IOT devices, wherein temporary pairing comprises:
pairing, by the one or more processors, for a predetermined amount of time before timing out and prompting the user to pair or cancel the pairing;
pairing, by the one or more processors, an IOT video capture device with the one or more IOT extended audio devices, wherein previously paired IOT device permission agreements are retrieved to re-pair the IOT video capture device to the one or more IOT extended audio devices;
synchronizing, by the one or more processors, an audio recording on the one or more IOT extended audio devices with digital imagery capture on the IOT video capture device;
saving, by the one or more processors, the captured digital imagery as one or more media files and the recorded audio as one or more audio files;
processing, by the one or more processors, the one or more media files and the one or more audio files by integrating the one or more audio files into the one or more media files to create assembled content;
and
outputting, by the one or more processors, the processed one or more media files to the IOT video capture device.

6 more elements

A computer program product for crowdsource recording and sharing of media files, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage devices and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage devices, the stored program instructions comprising:
program instructions to identify one or more extended audio sources that are enabled to be found within a predetermined maximum distance established by a user, wherein the one or more extended audio sources are one or more internet of things (JOT) extended audio devices;
program instructions to enable, by temporary pairing, a preview of audio quality of one or more IOT devices, wherein temporary pairing comprises:
program instructions to pair for a predetermined amount of time before timing out and prompting the user to pair or cancel the pairing;
program instructions to pair an IOT video capture device with the one or more IOT extended audio devices, wherein previously paired IOT device permission agreements are retrieved to re-pair the IOT video capture device to the one or more IOT extended audio devices;
program instructions to synchronize an audio recording on the one or more IOT extended audio devices with digital imagery capture on the IOT video capture device;
program instructions to save the captured digital imagery as one or more media files and the recorded audio as one or more audio files;
program instructions to process the one or more media files and the one or more audio files by integrating the one or more audio files into the one or more media files to create assembled content;
and
program instructions to output the processed one or more media files to the IOT video capture device.

7 more elements
