Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
This document describes techniques and apparatuses for determining a future portion of a currently presented media program. The techniques and apparatuses can receive current media reactions of one or many people to a currently presented media program and determine later portions to present in the media program based on the media reactions. In some embodiments, for example, a program can be presented live, reactions can be received during the live presentation, and the program altered on-the-fly and in real time based on those reactions. Further, the alterations can be general or tailored to a group or a particular person.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method implemented by a computing device comprising: receiving, by the computing device and during a presentation of a first portion of a media program, a media reaction to the first portion of the media program, the media reation determined based on sensor data passively sensed during the first portion of the media program; determining, by the computing device and based on the media reaction to the first portion of the media program being congruent with…
