Abstract

In one aspect, an example method includes (i) receiving, by a first computing system, content captured by a second computing system via a camera of the second computing system; (ii) receiving, by the first computing system, metadata of the received content, wherein the metadata was generated by the second computing system proximate a time when the second computing system captured the content; (iii) executing, by the first computing system, a digital-video effect (DVE), wherein executing the DVE causes the first computing system to generate video content that includes the received content and content derived from the received metadata; and (iv) transmitting, by the first computing system, to a third computing system, the generated video content for presentation of the generated video content on the third computing system.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method performed by one or more processors of a first computing system, the method comprising:
receiving content captured by a second computing system via a camera of the second computing system;
receiving metadata of the received content, wherein the metadata was generated by the second computing system proximate a time when the second computing system captured the content;
deriving content from the received metadata, wherein the content derived from the received metadata is related to the received content;
executing a first digital-video effect (DVE), wherein executing the first DVE causes the generation of first video content that includes the received content and a graphical representation of the content derived from the received metadata, wherein the graphical representation comprises a combination of the content derived from the received metadata and added text or graphics;
receiving second video content;
executing a second DVE, wherein executing the second DVE causes the generation of third video content that includes both the first video content and the second video content; and
transmitting to a third computing system, the generated third video content for presentation of the generated third video content on the third computing system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first computing system is a video system comprising (i) a video-production system (VPS) and (ii) a video-broadcast system (VBS), wherein the second computing system is an end-user device, and wherein the third computing system is another end-user device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata represents a time at which the second computing system captured at least a portion of the content.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata represents a location of the second computing system proximate the time when the second computing system captured at least a portion of the content.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing the first DVE causes the generation of the first video content by overlaying the graphical representation of the content derived from the received metadata on the received content.

6. A method performed by one or more processors of a first computing system, the method comprising:
receiving content captured by a second computing system via a camera of the second computing system;
receiving metadata of the received content, wherein the metadata was generated by the second computing system proximate a time when the second computing system captured the content;
using the received metadata and predetermined data to determine data related to the received content;
executing a first digital-video effect (DVE), wherein executing the first DVE causes the generation of first video content that includes the received content and a graphical representation of the determined data, wherein the graphical representation comprises a combination of the determined data and added text or graphics;
receiving second video content;
executing a second DVE, wherein executing the second DVE causes the generation of third video content that includes both the first video content and the second video content; and
transmitting to a third computing system, the generated third video content for presentation of the generated video content on the third computing system.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first computing system is a video system comprising (i) a video-production system (VPS) and (ii) a video-broadcast system (VBS), wherein the second computing system is an end-user device, and wherein the third computing system is another end-user device.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the metadata represents a time at which the second computing system captured at least a portion of the content, and wherein the determined data represents a time period that has elapsed since the time at which the second computing system captured at least the portion of the content.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the metadata comprises data that represents a location of the second computing system proximate the time when the second computing system captured the content, and wherein the determined data is another representation of the location.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein executing the first DVE causes the generation of the first video content by overlaying the graphical representation of the determined data on the received content.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by one or more processors of a first computing system, cause the first computing system to perform of a set of acts comprising:
receiving content captured by a second computing system via a camera of the second computing system;
receiving metadata of the received content, wherein the metadata was generated by the second computing system proximate a time when the second computing system captured the content;
deriving content from the received metadata, wherein the content derived from the received metadata is related to the received content;
executing a first digital-video effect (DVE), wherein executing the first DVE causes the generation of first video content that includes the received content and a graphical representation of content derived from the received metadata, wherein the graphical representation comprises a combination of the content derived from the received metadata and added text or graphics;
receiving second video content;
executing a second DVE, wherein executing the second DVE causes the generation of third video content that includes both the first video content and the second video content; and
transmitting to a third computing system, the generated third video content for presentation of the generated video content on the third computing system.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first computing system is a video system comprising (i) a video-production system (VPS) and (ii) a video-broadcast system (VBS), wherein the second computing system is an end-user device, and wherein the third computing system is another end-user device.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the metadata represents a time at which the second computing system captured at least a portion of the content.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the metadata represents a location of the second computing system proximate the time when the second computing system captured at least a portion of the content.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein executing the first DVE causes the generation of the first video content by overlaying the graphical representation of the content derived from the received metadata on the received content.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by one or more processors of a first computing system, cause the first computing system to perform of a set of acts comprising:
receiving content captured by a second computing system via a camera of the second computing system;
receiving metadata of the received content, wherein the metadata was generated by the second computing system proximate a time when the second computing system captured the content;
using the received metadata and predetermined data to determine data related to the received content;
executing a first digital-video effect (DVE), wherein executing the first DVE causes the generation of first video content that includes the received content and a graphical repr
