Abstract
A system and method to create original content by means of merging different content from multiple individual devices into at least one combined content set. The system includes multiple content capture devices, a database that stores media content from the multiple individual devices, a processor that merges the data content, and a server that distributes the merged content. Moreover, the merging processor applies a set of rules as to how the content is to be merged into the combined content set and the distribution server has a set of distribution rules related to how the combined content is distributed and the user(s) that can consume the combined content.
Claims20
A system configured to receive more than one content set, combining at least more than one sets of content into at least one combined set of content such that the combined set of content has a larger field of view than any individual set of content, the system comprising:
- at least more than one content capture devices configured to capture at least one set of content, the at least more than one of the content capture devices configured to transmit at least one set of content toward a database;
- at least one electronic database configured to receive and store at least more than one content set;
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one electronic database, the at least one processor configured to:
- (1) access information stored in at least one database that contains a collection of content combination rules related to the combination of the at least more than one content sets;
- (2) use, apply, and enforce the content combination rules and the at least more than one content sets to combine at least a portion of the content sets into at least one combined content set;
- (3) review the combined content and add additional content to ensure the combined content is complete;
- (4) access information stored in at least one database that contains a collection of combined content distribution rules related to the distribution of the at least one combined content set;
- and
- (5) cause at least one server to transmit the at least one combined content set toward a display device in accordance with the combined content distribution rules.
A method for combining more than one content set into at least one combined content set such that the combined content set has a larger field of view than any individual content set, the method comprising:
- utilizing at least more than one content capture devices configured to capture at least one set of content, the at least more than one content capture devices configured to transmit at least one set of content toward at least one database;
- utilizing the at least one database configured to receive and store at least more than one content set;
- accessing information stored in the at least one electronic database that is related to the at least one content combination rule set;
- combining the at least more than one content set into a combined content set in accordance with the at least one content combination rule set;
- (1) evaluating the resulting combined content set and adding any needed additional content to create a fully compliant combined content set;
- (2) accessing information stored in the at least one electronic database that is related to at least one distribution rule set;
- and
- (3) transmitting the combined content toward at least one display device in accordance with the at least one distribution rule set.
