Video customized to include person-of-interest

A processor-accessible memory system storing instructions configured to cause a data processing system to implement a method for generating a video, wherein the instructions comprise:

• instructions for receiving one or more input video sequences;
• instructions for receiving a set of person-of-interest (“POI”) information identifying at least one person-of-interest;
• instructions for identifying a particular video sequence that prominently or relatively prominently displays at least the person-of-interest, wherein the particular video sequence is identified from (a) the input video sequence(s), or (b) a portion of the input video sequence, if only one was received, or a portion of one of the input video sequences, if more than one was received;
• instructions for generating a customized output video from at least a portion or portions of the input video sequence(s), the customized output video being generated based at least upon the set of POI information to include at least the particular video sequence;
• and
• instructions for storing the customized output video in a processor-accessible memory system.

A system comprising:

• a data processing system;
• an input system communicatively connected to the data processing system;
• and
• a memory system communicatively connected to the data processing system and storing instructions configured to cause the data processing system to implement a method for generating a video, wherein the instructions comprise:
• instructions for receiving one or more input video sequences via the input system;
• instructions for receiving a set of person-of-interest (“POI”) information identifying at least one person-of-interest;
• instructions for identifying a particular video sequence that prominently or relatively prominently displays at least the person-of-interest, wherein the particular video sequence is identified from (a) the input video sequence(s), or (b) a portion of the input video sequence, if only one was received, or a portion of one of the input video sequences, if more than one was received;
• instructions for generating a customized output video from at least a portion or portions of the input video sequence(s), the customized output video being generated based at least upon the set of POI information to include at least the particular video sequence;
• and
• instructions for storing the customized output video in a processor-accessible memory system.
