Abstract

Systems and methods are described for determining a first media item related to an event, of a plurality of stored media items each comprising video content related to the event, that was captured in a device orientation corresponding to a first device orientation detected for the first computing device; providing, to the first computing device, the first media item to be displayed on the first computing device; in response to a detected change to a second device orientation for the first computing device, determining a second media item that was captured in a device orientation corresponding to the second device orientation detected for the first computing device; and providing, to the first computing device, the second media item to be displayed on the first computing device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, from a first computing device by a server system, a first device orientation detected for the first computing device;
determining a first media item related to an event, of a plurality of stored media items each comprising video content related to the event, that was captured in a device orientation corresponding to the first device orientation detected for the first computing device;
providing, by the server system to the first computing device, the first media item that was captured in the device orientation corresponding to the first device orientation detected for the first computing device to be displayed on the first computing device;
detecting, by the server system, a change from the first device orientation to a second device orientation for the first computing device;
in response to the detected change to the second device orientation for the first computing device, determining a second media item that was captured in a device orientation corresponding to the second device orientation detected for the first computing device; and
providing, by the server computer to the first computing device, the second media item that was captured in the device orientation corresponding to the second device orientation detected for the first computing device to be displayed on the first computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting, by the server system, a device orientation of a second computing device;
determining a stored media item that was captured in a device orientation corresponding to the device orientation detected for the second computing device; and
providing, by the server system to the second computing device, the stored media item that was captured in the device orientation corresponding to the device orientation of the second computing device to be displayed on the second computing device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein detecting the device orientation of the second computing device is based on receiving a device orientation from the second computing device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device orientation or the second device orientation is a landscape view or a portrait view.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device orientation or the second device orientation is a tilt angle orientation.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device orientation is determined based on an angle of a subject of the video content.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
analyzing the video content of each media item of the plurality of stored media items to determine at least one region or object to associate with the media item;
associating the at least one region or object with the media item; and
storing the association of the at least one region or object with the media item.

8. The method of claim 7 ; further comprising:
detecting an input via the first computing device indicating a selection of a region or object of the video content of the second media item;
determining a third media item associated with the selected region or object of the video; and
providing the third media item associated with the selected region or object, wherein the third media item associated with the selected region or object is displayed on the second computing device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the change from the first device orientation to the second device orientation is detected during display of the first media item on the first computing device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein each video content of the plurality of video content is captured by a respective one of a plurality of computing devices using at least one device orientation.

11. A server computer comprising:
a processor; and
a computer readable medium coupled with the processor, the computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause the server computer to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a first computing device, a first device orientation detected for the first computing device;
determining a first media item related to an event, of a plurality of stored media items each comprising video content related to the event, that was captured in a device orientation corresponding to the first device orientation detected for the first computing device;
providing, to the first computing device, the first media item that was captured in the device orientation corresponding to the first device orientation detected for the first computing device to be displayed on the first computing device;
detecting a change from the first device orientation to a second device orientation for the first computing device;
in response to the detected change to the second device orientation for the first computing device, determining a second media item that was captured in a device orientation corresponding to the second device orientation detected for the first computing device; and
providing, to the first computing device, the second media item that was captured in the device orientation corresponding to the second device orientation detected for the first computing device to be displayed on the first computing device.

12. The server computer of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:
detecting a device orientation of a second computing device;
determining a stored media item that was captured in a device orientation corresponding to the device orientation detected for the second computing device; and
providing, to the second computing device, the stored media item that was captured in the device orientation corresponding to the device orientation of the second computing device to be displayed on the second computing device.

13. The server computer of claim 12 , wherein detecting the device orientation of the second computing device is based on receiving a device orientation from the second computing device.

14. The server computer of claim 11 , wherein the first device orientation or the second device orientation is a landscape view or a portrait view.

15. The server computer of claim 11 , wherein the first device orientation or the second device orientation is a tilt anile orientation.

16. The server computer of claim 11 , wherein the first device orientation is determined based on an angle of a subject of the video content.

17. The server computer of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:
analyzing the video content of each media item of the plurality of stored media items to determine at least one region or object to associate with the media item;
associating the at least one region or object with the media item; and
storing the association of the at least one region or object with the media item.

18. The server computer of claim 17 , the operations further comprising:
detecting an input via the first computing device indicating a selection of a region or object of the video content of the second media item;
determining a third media item associated with the selected region or object of the video; and
providing the third media item associated with the selected region or object, wherein the third media item associated with the selected region or object is displayed on the second computing device.

19. The server computer of claim 1 , wherein the change from the first device orientation to the second device orientation is detected during display of the first media item on the first computing device.

20. A non-transitory computer readable me
