    摘要: A portable communication device implements a position indication method to determine and convey the relative locations of other portable communication devices in a group. In one embodiment, the portable communication devices are equipped with a GPS sensor and the position indication method determines relative locations of devices using GPS location data. In another embodiment, the portable communication devices determine relative locations of devices using the strength of the received signal as a proxy for distance. In some embodiments, the relative location information is conveyed to each portable communication device by modifying the audio signal playback. For example, a 3D audio playback may be used to convey the relative location information. In other embodiments, other non-audible location indication may be provided on each portable communication device.

    摘要: A method to automate media stream curation implements verbal and non-verbal audio cue analysis of an audio track recorded contemporaneously with a media stream. The media stream may be a video stream or an audio stream. The audio track is recorded contemporaneously with the media stream using a recording device separate from the media recording device used to record the media stream. Audio cue analysis of the audio track is performed to detect for audio cues which indicate the locations or timestamps associated with elements of interest. The identified elements of interest are then used to extract segments of the media stream to form a curated media stream containing clips associated with the elements of interest.
