Abstract

According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for editing at least one media file on a device is provided. The method may include receiving the at least one media file. The method may also include determining a content of interest region within the at least one media file. The method may then include generating an at least one edited media file based on the content of interest region and the at least one media file. The method may further include transmitting the at least one edited media file to a target destination.

First claim

1 . A method for editing at least one media file on a device, the method comprising:
receiving the at least one media file; determining a content of interest region within the at least one media file, wherein determining the content of interest region within the received at least one media file comprises identifying a region within the received at least one media file based on tracking at least one eye of a user viewing the received at least one media file; generating an at least one edited media file based on the content of interest region and the at least one media file, wherein generating the at least one edited media file based on the determined content of interest region comprises removing excess data not related to the determined content of interest region from the at least one media file; and transmitting the at least one edited media file to a target destination.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying the received at least one media file to the user.

3 . (canceled)

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the at least one edited media file to the target destination comprises detecting the at least one media file is selected for transmission and transmitting the at least one edited media file to the target destination in place of the at least one media file.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein editing the at least one media file based on the determined content of interest region comprises at least one of retargeting, cropping, and resizing.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the at least one edited media file to the target destination comprises automatically generating a video file containing the at least one edited media file and transmitting the video file to the target destination.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a second at least one edited media file based on the determined content of interest region and a second at least one media file.

8 . A computer system for editing at least one media file on a device, comprising:
one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising: receiving the at least one media file; determining a content of interest region within the at least one media file, wherein determining the content of interest region within the received at least one media file comprises identifying a region within the received at least one media file based on tracking at least one eye of a user viewing the received at least one media file; generating an at least one edited media file based on the content of interest region and the at least one media file, wherein generating the at least one edited media file based on the determined content of interest region comprises removing excess data not related to the determined content of interest region from the at least one media file; and transmitting the at least one edited media file to a target destination.

9 . The computer system of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying the received at least one media file to the user.

10 . (canceled)

11 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein transmitting the at least one edited media file to the target destination comprises detecting the at least one media file is selected for transmission and transmitting the at least one edited media file to the target destination in place of the at least one media file.

12 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein editing the at least one media file based on the determined content of interest region comprises at least one of retargeting, cropping, and resizing.

13 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein transmitting the at least one edited media file to the target destination comprises automatically generating a video file containing the at least one edited media file and transmitting the video file to the target destination.

14 . The computer system of claim 8 , further comprising:
generating a second at least one edited media file based on the determined content of interest region and a second at least one media file.

15 . A computer program product for editing at least one media file on a device, comprising:
one or more computer-readable storage medium and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium, the program instructions executable by a processor, the program instructions comprising: program instructions to receiving the at least one media file; program instructions to determine a content of interest region within the at least one media file, wherein determining the content of interest region within the received at least one media file comprises identifying a region within the received at least one media file based on tracking at least one eye of a user viewing the received at least one media file; program instructions to generate an at least one edited media file based on the content of interest region and the at least one media file, wherein generating the at least one edited media file based on the determined content of interest region comprises removing excess data not related to the determined content of interest region from the at least one media file; and program instructions to transmit the at least one edited media file to a target destination.

16 . The computer program product of claim 15 , further comprising:
program instructions to display the received at least one media file to the user.

17 . (canceled)

18 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the at least one edited media file to the target destination comprises detecting the at least one media file is selected for transmission and transmitting the at least one edited media file to the target destination in place of the at least one media file.

19 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein editing the at least one media file based on the determined content of interest region comprises at least one of retargeting, cropping, and resizing.

20 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the at least one edited media file to the target destination comprises automatically generating a video file containing the at least one edited media file and transmitting the video file to the target destination.
