Abstract
An event-related media management system contextualizes media content. The event-related media management system associates media content with contextual event-related data to associate the media content with the events and information about the events. The contextual event-related data can then be used to provide access to the media content, such as through relevant search results or by presenting the media content in organized displays for contextual browsing and navigation. In some embodiments the event-related media management system generates contextualized media content for contextual search, discovery, and advertising.
Claims20
A method of automatically generating tags for media content, the method comprising:
- storing event-related data associated with at least one event including a particular event in at least one computer readable storage device, wherein the event is a sports game, the event-related data including discrete action data identifying discrete actions that occur during the particular event including a particular discrete action;
- identifying contextual information associated with a particular media content item using the at least one computing device;
- determining that the particular media content item relates to the particular event of the at least one event based at least in part on the contextual information, using the at least one computing device;
- automatically generating a tag identifying the particular event for the particular media content item using the at least one computing device;
- comparing the contextual information to the discrete action data for the particular event to identify a relationship between the particular media content item and the particular discrete action;
- automatically generating a tag identifying the particular discrete action of the particular event as a result of the identified relationship between the particular media content item and the particular discrete action;
- and
- automatically tagging the particular media content item with a particular scored segment of the game and the particular discrete action that occurred during the scored segment.

At least one computing device comprising:
- at least one processing device;
- at least one data communication device configured to communicate across the at least one data communication network;
- and
- at least one computer readable storage device, the at least one computer readable storage device storing data instructions, which when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to:
- store event-related data associated with at least one event including a particular event in the at least one computer readable storage device, wherein the at least one event is a sports game, the event-related data including discrete action data identifying discrete actions that occur during at least the particular event including a particular discrete action;
- identify contextual information associated with a particular media content item using the at least one computing device;
- determine that the particular media content item relates to the particular event of the at least one event based at least in part on the contextual information, using the at least one computing device;
- automatically generate a tag identifying the particular event for the particular media content item using the at least one computing device;
- compare the contextual information to the discrete action data for the particular event to identify a relationship between the particular media content item and the particular discrete action;
- automatically generate a tag identifying the particular discrete action of the particular event as a result of the identified relationship between the particular media content item and the particular discrete action;
- and
- automatically tag the particular media content item with a particular scored segment of the game and the particular discrete action that occurred during the scored segment.

At least one computer readable storage device, storing data instructions that when executed by at least one computing device cause the at least one computing device to:
- store event-related data associated with at least one event including a particular event in the at least one computer readable storage device, wherein the at least one event is a sports game, the event-related data including discrete action data identifying discrete actions that occur during at least the particular event including a particular discrete action;
- identify contextual information associated with a particular media content item using the at least one computing device;
- determine that the particular media content item relates to the particular event of the at least one event based at least in part on the contextual information, using the at least one computing device;
- automatically generate a tag identifying the particular event for the particular media content item using the at least one computing device;
- compare the contextual information to the discrete action data for the particular event to identify a relationship between the particular media content item and the particular discrete action;
- automatically generate a tag identifying the particular discrete action of the particular event as a result of the identified relationship between the particular media content item and the particular discrete action;
- and
- automatically tag the particular media content item with a particular scored segment of the game and the particular discrete action that occurred during the scored segment.
