Abstract
A video-based competition platform supports video-based competitions between possibly geographically distributed competitors. The video-based competition platform enables users of electronic communication devices to create, compete, view, and vote in video-based competitions. In at least some embodiments, a video-based competition is presented to a user with two or more video clips played in conjunction. The video clips may be synchronized to a time base and/or common audio clip.
Claims21
A method in a data processing system, the method comprising:
- a processor of the data processing system providing independent playback in a plurality of video players of a plurality of video clips concurrently presented within a display device, wherein the plurality of video clips belong to a video-based competition;
- and
- the processor, based on an input of a user, recording a vote of the user for one of the plurality of video clips in the video-based competition.
A data processing system, comprising:
- a processor;
- data storage coupled to the processor, the data storage including program code that is executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform:
- providing independent playback in a plurality of video players of a plurality of video clips concurrently presented within a display device communicatively coupled to the data processing system, wherein the plurality of video clips belong to a video-based competition;
- and
- based on an input of a user, recording a vote of the user for one of the plurality of video clips in the video-based competition.
A program product, comprising:
- a storage device;
- program code stored in the storage device and executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform:
- providing independent playback in a plurality of video players of a plurality of video clips concurrently presented within a display device communicatively coupled to the data processing system, wherein the plurality of video clips belong to a video-based competition;
- and
- based on an input of a user, recording a vote of the user for one of the plurality of video clips in the video-based competition.
