Abstract

A media processing system including a media studio allows the user to bring the studio along to live events. The media studio allows for preview, e.g., simultaneous preview, of multiple media input items (referred to herein as an aggregated media item), generating a media output item based on the multiple media input items, sharing the media output item, and storing the media output item for future viewing, all via a remote operator console. The media studio may be programmed to generate recommendations for the media output item and/or generate the media output item directly based on predetermined rules.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system comprising a media studio including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the processor is programmed to:
receive one or more media input items from one or more respective media devices;
receive data representing a value respectively for one or more parameters of a respective operator operating each of one or more media devices to record the media input items, wherein the value is derived from sensor outputs for respective parameters of the respective operator, the value is for at least two parameters of a respective operator for each of one or more media devices, the value includes a sum of respective products of a correction coefficient and a sensor output for respective parameters, and the sum is multiplied by a coefficient selected for the respective operator, the coefficient representing responsiveness of the respective operator with respect to the parameter relative to a general population; and
generate a media output item for viewing by viewers based at least in part on the one or more received media input items, and further based at least in part on the data representing the respective value for the one or more parameters for the respective operators.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the parameters include at least one of a pulse rate, a blood pressure level, and a pupil dilation level of the respective operator.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor output is scaled.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the parameters include a pulse rate and a blood pressure of the respective operator.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to generate the media output item to include one of the one or more received media input items based on the data representing the respective value for the one or more parameters for the respective operators.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further programmed to generate the media output item to include one of the one or more received media input items that has the highest value for the one or more parameters for the respective operators.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to generate an aggregated media item that includes one or more of the media input items, the aggregated media item combining the one or more media input items for a common display.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the aggregated media item includes the values corresponding respectively to the one or more media input items.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further programmed to receive one or more commands identifying at least one of the media input items included in the aggregated media item to be included in the media output item.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more commands are received from one of the one or more media devices.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the media devices is mobile.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein two or more of the media input items are received substantially simultaneously.

13. A method comprising:
receiving one or more media input items from one or more respective media devices;
receiving data representing a value respectively for one or more parameters of a respective operator operating each of one or more media devices to record the media input items, wherein the value is derived from sensor outputs for respective parameters of the respective operator, the value is for at least two parameters of a respective operator for each of one or more media devices, the value includes a sum of respective products of a correction coefficient and a sensor output for respective parameters, and the sum is multiplied by a coefficient selected for the respective operator, the coefficient representing responsiveness of the respective operator with respect to the parameter relative to a general population; and
generating a media output item for viewing by viewers based at least in part on the one or more received media input items, and further based at least in part on the data representing the respective value for the one or more parameters for the respective operators.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the parameters include at least one of a pulse rate, a blood pressure level, and a pupil dilation level of the respective operator.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising generating the media output item to include one of the one or more received media input items based on the data representing the respective value for the one or more parameters for the respective operators.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising generating the media output item to include one of the one or more received media input items that has the highest value for the one or more parameters for the respective operators.

17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising generating an aggregated media item that includes one or more of the media input items, the aggregated media item combining the one or more media input items for a common display.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the aggregated media item includes the values corresponding respectively to the one or more media input items.

19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising receiving one or more commands identifying at least one of the media input items included in the aggregated media item to be included in the media output item.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the one or more commands are received from one of the one or more media devices.
