    Abstract: One or more systems and/or methods for determining a query date range and/or searching a content corpus are provided. A set of content items (e.g., digital images, videos, etc.), associated with an event, may be identified from a content corpus. The set of content items may be evaluated to identify temporal features (e.g., digital time stamps) for the set of content items. A query date range for the event may be determined based upon the temporal features (e.g., users may capture photos that are related to Christmas from December 4th to December 27th). In an example, responsive to receiving a search query, associated with the event, the search query may be adjusted based upon the query date range to create an adjusted search query. The content corpus may be searched using the adjusted search query to create search query results for the search query.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种或多种用于确定查询日期范围和/或搜索内容语料库的系统和/或方法。 可以从内容语料库识别与事件相关联的一组内容项目(例如,数字图像,视频等)。 可以评估该组内容项目以识别该组内容项目的时间特征(例如,数字时间戳)。 可以基于时间特征来确定事件的查询日期范围(例如,用户可以从12月4日至12月27日捕获与圣诞节相关的照片)。 在一个示例中,响应于接收到与事件相关联的搜索查询,可以基于查询日期范围来调整搜索查询以创建经调整的搜索查询。 可以使用经调整的搜索查询来搜索内容语料库以创建搜索查询的搜索查询结果。

    Abstract: Geo-referenced and oriented media items may be used to determine a location of one or more points of interest depicted by the media items. A difference between an actual capture location and orientation and a reported location and orientation may be modeled according to one or more distributions, which distribution(s) may be used to assign one or more weights to each location in the world where such weight(s) may be considered to be a likelihood that a point of interest might have been seen by a capturing device. A density map may be acquired by superimposing the derived likelihoods, and a maximum, e.g., local maximum, may be determined to represent a location of a point of interest.

    Abstract translation: 可以使用地理参考和定向的媒体项目来确定由媒体项目描绘的一个或多个兴趣点的位置。 可以根据一个或多个分布来对实际捕获位置和方向与报告的位置和方位之间的差异进行建模,该分布可以用于将世界上每个位置的一个或多个权重分配给这样的权重 )可能被认为是捕获设备可能看到兴趣点的可能性。 可以通过叠加导出的似然性来获得密度图,并且可以确定最大值,例如局部最大值,以表示兴趣点的位置。

    Abstract: Software authenticates a first user of a first mobile device and a second user of a second mobile device. Each user agrees or has previously agreed to share video data captured by the user with other authenticated users. The software determines whether the first mobile device is located proximate to the second mobile device. Then the software receives video data captured by the second mobile device and transmits the video data to the first mobile device for display along with an annotation, if the first mobile device is proximate to the second mobile device. The annotation indicates the location of the second mobile device relative to the first mobile device and includes data as to camera angle of the second mobile device received from the second mobile device. The software persistently stores the video data upon receipt of a command from the user of the first mobile device.

    Abstract translation: 软件验证第一移动设备的第一用户和第二移动设备的第二用户。 每个用户同意或已经同意将用户捕获的视频数据与其他经过身份验证的用户共享。 软件确定第一移动设备是否位于第二移动设备附近。 然后,如果第一移动设备靠近第二移动设备,则软件接收由第二移动设备捕获的视频数据,并将视频数据发送到第一移动设备以便与注释一起显示。 注释表示第二移动设备相对于第一移动设备的位置,并且包括关于从第二移动设备接收的第二移动设备的摄像机角度的数据。 当从第一移动设备的用户接收到命令时,软件持续地存储视频数据。

    Abstract: The present disclosure is descriptive of discovering structure, content, and context of a media event, e.g., a live media event, using real-time discussions that unfold through short messaging services. Generally, a sampling of short messages of a plurality of users is obtained. The sampling of short messages corresponds to a media event. A segment in the media event is identified using the sampling of short messages, and at least one term taken from the sampling of short messages is identified. The at least one term is indicative of a context of the identified segment.
