The collection of sensor information is acquired on a continuous basis during recording. For example, the GPS information may be continuously acquired from a corresponding sensor at every second during the recording of a video. Therefore, the acquisition apparatus generates a continuous stream of video frames and a continuous stream of sensor meta-data values. The two streams are correlated in that every video frame is associated with a set of sensor values. Note that the sampling frequency (i.e., the frequency at which sensor values can be measured) is dependent on the type of sensor. For example, a GPS sensor may be sampled at 1-second intervals while a compass sensor may be sampled at 50 millisecond intervals. Video is also sampled at a specific rate, such as 25 or 30 frames per second. Sensor data are associated with each frame. If sensor data has not changed from the previous frame (due to a low sampling rate) then the previously measured data values are used. The resulting combination of a video and a sensor stream is called a sensor-rich video. | 12-12-2013 |

20160005435 | AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF VIDEO AND DIRECTIONAL AUDIO FROM SPHERICAL CONTENT - A spherical content capture system captures spherical video and audio content. In one embodiment, captured metadata or video/audio processing is used to identify content relevant to a particular user based on time and location information. The platform can then generate an output video from one or more shared spherical content files relevant to the user. The output video may include a non-spherical reduced field of view such as those commonly associated with conventional camera systems. Particularly, relevant sub-frames having a reduced field of view may be extracted from each frame of spherical video to generate an output video that tracks a particular individual or object of interest. For each sub-frame, a corresponding portion of an audio track is generated that includes a directional audio signal having a directionality based on the selected sub-frame. | 01-07-2016 |

The system for providing a 4D content production service includes: a terminal device configured to transmit content source including at least one of a picture, text and video, synopsis information video time information and video time information, to receive content and special effect codes, to select a special effect code corresponding to each play interval of the content and to transmit special effect selection information indicating selected special effect codes; and a content production apparatus configured to produce content using the content source on the basis of the synopsis information and video time information received from the terminal device, to transmit the produced content and special effect codes to the terminal device, to receive the special effect selection information from the terminal device and to generate 4D content using the special effect selection information. According to the present invention, a business proprietor can promote business expansion and improve the image of business and a user can produce 4D content by directly participating in content selection and production. | 03-24-2016 |
20160112671 | RECEIVING DEVICE, RECEIVING METHOD, TRANSMITTING DEVICE, AND TRANSMITTING METHOD - Disclosed herein is a receiving device including: a first receiving section configured to receive audio visual contents capable of a download reservation and transmitted in non-real time; a recording section configured to record the audio visual contents that have been downloaded; an obtaining section configured to obtain an application program for executing a process related to the audio visual contents; and an executing section configured to execute the process related to the audio visual contents on a basis of control information included in the application program. | 04-21-2016 |
20160133295 | EDITING SYSTEMS - An automated video editing apparatus and software are presented. The apparatus is designed to modify automated video recording systems enabling them to collect data used in creating a library of markers observable within the collected data such that the markers may help to identify highlight moments in recorded videos and to create short video clips of the highlight moments. The apparatus and method as described free the user of the burden of reviewing many hours of video recordings of non-events, such as waiting for a sportsman's turn in a competition or waiting for an exciting wave while surfing in the sea. | 05-12-2016 |
20160133296 | MULTIMEDIA CONTENT DURATION MANIPULATION - Average pixel luminosity is calculated for each frame comprising a content item. For each pair of adjacent frames, an IFD is calculated. The IFD represents the difference between a baseline pixel luminosity associated with each of the two frames. An initial set of cut frames is selected based on IFD values that are less than a minimum value IFD | 05-12-2016 |
20160163355 | FILE GENERATION DEVICE AND METHOD, AND CONTENT PLAYBACK DEVICE AND METHOD - The present disclosure relates to a file generation device and method, and a content playback device, enabling efficient access to arbitrary subsamples within a sample. Information for acquiring arbitrary subsamples (tiles) is disposed not by extending the sidx and the ssix, but by defining a separate box, a general subsegment index box (gsix), after the sidx and the ssix at the beginning of the segment file. The present disclosure may be applied to a content playback system equipped with a content server and a content playback device, for example. | 06-09-2016 |
