Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a media processor having a controller to categorize media content of a subscriber according to one or more image features, and present at least a portion of the categorized media content in a personal television channel procured by the subscriber from a service provider of a media communication system. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer instructions, which when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
- obtaining media content;
- analyzing the media content to identify a plurality of unrecognized images in the media content;
- presenting, via a portal, the plurality of unrecognized images at a first window, wherein the first window enables scrolling between the plurality of unrecognized images;
- presenting, via the portal, a list of identities in selectable form at a second window, wherein the second window enables scrolling between the identities;
- receiving, by the portal, first user inputs to add new identities to the list of identities;
- receiving, by the portal, second user inputs to associate a plurality of identities of the list of identities with the plurality of unrecognized images to generate a plurality of recognized images;
- receiving, by the portal, third user inputs to add a plurality of highlights to plurality of recognized images;
- detecting, by pattern recognition, a plurality of first images in the media content, wherein the detecting is by the plurality of recognized images, the plurality of highlights, and the list of identities;
- presenting, via the portal, a third window for associating a subset of the list of identities with a grouping;
- categorizing, according to the grouping, the plurality of first images that are detected by pattern recognition to generate a categorized grouping of the plurality of first images;
- and
- presenting a portion of the categorized grouping in a personal television channel broadcast supplied by a television media communication system;
- receiving, from a subscriber, selections of a plurality of graphical user interface templates;
- arranging the categorized grouping in segments of the graphical user interface templates that are selected according to directives supplied to modules that are selected by the subscriber;
- receiving new media content from the subscriber;
- detecting, by the pattern recognition, a plurality of second images present in the new media content;
- and
- categorizing the plurality of second images of the new media content according to the grouping to generate a second categorized grouping.

- arranging the categorized grouping of the media content in segments of graphical user interface templates that are selected according to directives supplied to modules that are selected by the subscriber from a plurality of modules;
- receiving a first request for access to a personal television channel from a requesting device;
- receiving from the requesting device accessing the personal television channel a second request to modify the presentation of a portion of the categorized grouping of the media content;
- adapting the presentation of the portion of the categorized grouping of the media content according to the second request;
- and
- presenting the portion of the categorized grouping of the media content in the personal television channel that is broadcast from a service provider of a media communication system according to the graphical user interface templates that are selected and the directives that are supplied to the modules.
