Claims20
A method of providing still images of live events, the method comprising:
- accessing, while a live event is occurring, a plurality of video signals associated with the live event, each video signal in the plurality of video signals corresponding to either a live view of a plurality of views of the live event, or a pre-recorded video;
- generating a plurality of still images, each still image in the plurality of still images corresponding to one of the plurality of video signals;
- availing, while the live event is occurring, each of the plurality of still images to a plurality of devices at a venue of the live event;
- receiving, from the plurality of devices, a communication that identifies a selection of one of the plurality of still images;
- and
- generating, for at least one of the plurality of video signals, a statistic for the video signal based on a quantity of the received communications that identify a selection of the still image of the plurality of still images that corresponds to the video signal.
A system, comprising:
- one or more data processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed on the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform actions including:
- accessing, while a live event is occurring, a plurality of video signals associated with the live event, each video signal in the plurality of video signals corresponding to either a live view of a plurality of views of the live event, or a pre-recorded video;
- generating a plurality of still images, each still image in the plurality of still images corresponding to one of the plurality of video signals;
- availing, while the live event is occurring, each of the plurality of still images to a plurality of devices at a venue of the live event;
- receiving, from the plurality of devices, a communication that identifies a selection of one of the plurality of still images;
- and
- generating, for each of at least one of the plurality of video signals, a statistic for the video signal based on a quantity of the received communications that identify a selection of the still image of the plurality of still images that corresponds to the video signal.
A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, the product including instructions configured to cause one or more data processors to perform actions including:
- accessing, while a live event is occurring, a plurality of video signals associated with the live event, each video signal in the plurality of video signals corresponding to either a live view of a plurality of views of the live event, or a pre-recorded video;
- generating a plurality of still images, each still image in the plurality of still images corresponding to one of the plurality of video signals;
- availing, while the live event is occurring, each of the plurality of still images to a plurality of devices at a venue of the live event;
- receiving, from the plurality of devices, a communication that identifies a selection of one of the plurality of still images;
- and
- generating, for at least one of the plurality of video signals, a statistic for the video signal based on a quantity of the received communications that identify a selection of the still image of the plurality of still images that corresponds to the video signal.
