Abstract:
A system includes a media device including a processor programmed to receive sensor data indicating a field of view of a user and adjust a field of view of a video capture device in the media device to correspond to the field of view of the user. The processor receives media data from the video capture device and stores the media data, together with metadata including time indicia for each segment in the media data. The processor further receives user input to generate a media content item based on the media data. The user input specifies a start time of the media content item. The processor generates the media content item from the media data, starting with the segment of the media data having a time stamp corresponding to the start time; and stores the media content item.
Abstract:
Various embodiments facilitate the creation and presentation of a virtual entertainment world. In one embodiment, the virtual entertainment world is created to help a user find and watch content. The virtual entertainment world includes various environments, including a virtual program guide, a virtual viewing environment, and a concession environment. The virtual program guide provides a starting point for users to easily and efficiently find content. The virtual viewing environment provides an immersive environment for users to watch content. The concession environment provides a convenient location where users may make purchases.
Abstract:
A computing device includes a processor is programmed to determine that communications from users relate to the same subject included in a stored list of subjects. Each of the communications includes an audio portion. The computing device is further programmed to determine a score for each of the communications based at least in part on one or more of tone data, speed data, duration data, and volume data extracted from the respective audio portion, and allow one of the users, based on a respective user score, to assign the subject to a group.

Abstract:
Systems, devices and methods are described to provide a personalized soundtrack by a set top box, media player or other media receiver device. The device obtains viewer preference data that describes the viewer's musical preference. The media program received by the receiver device is associated with metadata describing at least some of the songs in the program soundtrack. The media receiver device compares the viewer preference data and the metadata about the songs already in the soundtrack to select replacement songs that are rendered to the viewer during playback of the media program instead the songs in the audio soundtrack of the media program.

Abstract:
A segment is defined in an item of media content. A first file is received that includes content to be added to the segment. A second file is received that includes depth information related to the first file. The depth information is used to extract, from the first file, the content to be added to the segment. The extracted content is added to the media segment.

Abstract:
A media device is configured to identify an indicia of user interest in at least one media content attribute. At least one segment of an item of media content that is associated with the indicia of interest is identified. An item of derivative content that includes the at least one segment is generated.
