Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, an approach is provided for dynamically generating a compilation of media items during playback of one or more media items. A plurality of media items is received from a plurality of mobile devices. Respective context vectors for the media items are determined. The context vectors include, at least in part, orientation information, geo-location information, timing information, or a combination thereof associated with the creation of the respective media items. A compilation of at least a portion of the media items is dynamically generated during playback of one or more of the media items based, at least in part, on the context vectors.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of media items and context vectors from a plurality of mobile devices, wherein respective context vectors are associated with the creation of respective media items from the plurality of media items based, at least in part, on at least one of a location or a position, an altitude, a tilt, an orientation, a zoom, a focal length, a field of view, a radius of interest, a range of interest, or a combination thereof associated with at least one of the plurality of mobile devices;
- determining at least one focal point with respect to the at least one of the plurality of mobile devices based on at least one or more of the received media items and context vectors;
- processing the respective context vectors for the plurality of media items, wherein the processed context vectors include, at least in part, orientation information, location information, timing information, or a combination thereof associated with the creation of respective media items;
- and
- generating a compilation of at least a portion of the media items based, at least in part, on the processed context vectors and the at least one focal point.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- receive a plurality of media items and context vectors from a plurality of mobile devices,
- wherein respective context vectors are associated with the creation of respective media items from the plurality of media items based, at least in part, on at least one of a location or a position, an altitude, a tilt, an orientation, a zoom, a focal length, a field of view, a radius of interest, a range of interest, or a combination thereof associated with at least one of the plurality of mobile devices,
- determine at least one focal point with respect to the at least one of the plurality of mobile devices based on at least one or more of the received media items and context vectors;
- process the respective context vectors for the plurality of media items, wherein the processed context vectors include, at least in part, orientation information, location information, timing information, or a combination thereof associated with the creation of respective media items, and
- generate a compilation of at least a portion of the media items based, at least in part, on the processed context vectors and the at least one focal point.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- capturing a plurality of media items and context vectors relating to an event with a plurality of mobile devices,
- wherein respective context vectors are associated with the creation of respective media items from the plurality of media items based, at least in part, on at least one of a location or a position, an altitude, a tilt, an orientation, a zoom, a focal length, a field of view, a radius of interest, a range of interest, or a combination thereof associated with the plurality of mobile devices;
- determining information about the occurrence of the event by evaluating one or more of the context vectors associated with the event;
- utilizing the context vectors to determine at least one focal point associated with at least one of the plurality of mobile devices associated with the event;
- and
- synthesizing, from the at least one focal point, a compilation of at least a portion of the media items based, at least in part, on the evaluated context vectors and the at least one focal point.
