BACKGROUND
This descriptive report is about creating various forms of content on social media networking sites and publishing that content on the same social media networking site, other social media or general networking sites or on television distribution platforms.
Network technologies enable various types of remote human interaction. For example, people can use text or audio or video content for conversation, reporting, remote conferencing, etc. In some instances, such communication may have a central host, such as a virtual chat room, a show supported by reality, etc. Participants can use phone calls, e-mail, SMS messages, or informal online audio or video conversation to provide input or feedback to the central host. Participants can also communicate through social networking sites. In some cases, communications may relate to television programs that participants can view, for example, on conventional television. Such television programs may have their own web pages.
2/74 social network that provide information about the program, provide additional content related to the program and / or that facilitate feedback and communications between viewers.
Viewers typically watch professionally produced television programs (programs) and motion pictures (films) using traditional television services. Programs, such as various types of games, are typically distributed to traditional television service providers by so-called television networks, which have the necessary legal rights to distribute the programs, and which are sometimes also involved in producing the programs . Those providing television broadcasting services, and providing television service to viewers, may include carriers or Multiple Service Operators (MSO), direct broadcast satellite providers (DBS) and / or telecommunication providers (Telco).
Television transmission or distribution systems used by traditional television program carriers include terrestrial broadcast stations, satellite television and cable television systems, as well as telecommunication delivery network services such as VDSL and FiOS offered in broadcast telecommunication or data networks, whose operators provide television services similar to those offered by cable and satellite television service providers. Standards have also been formulated, or are in the process of being formulated, for using Internet protocols and the public Internet to distribute television programs using
3/74 live IP multicast or IP unicast streams that can be received by anyone with any type of broadband data connection to the
Internet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Implementations of the present disclosure concern systems and methods to allow users to record videos on a social network page. Using a software development kit and / or programming interface
12/74 of applications provided by the social network provider, for example, an external entity can embed a link on a social network page. When a user selects the link, a frame can be opened on the page on which a media recorder hosted by an external entity server can be displayed. The media recorder can be implemented in software (for example, as described in US patent application 13 / 185,471, entitled Content Creation and Distribution System, whose content is incorporated into this document in its entirety), which can be used to record videos on the external entity server using a camera installed on or connected to a user's computer in another way, for example, a smart phone, laptop, desktop computer or other computing device. For example, video content can be captured on a user's device and formatted according to predetermined restrictions using a network application or an installed application. Video content, for example, can be submitted for potential inclusion in a television program. When formatting the video content according to predetermined restrictions, the video content can be transcoded into an appropriate format for inclusion in a linear television scheduling schedule using an automated transcoding workflow corresponding to the predetermined format to ensure that the file transcoded video complies with the requirements of a television diffuser or private television uplink link structure. The video can also be automatically transcoded to one or more
13/74 formats suitable for alternative distribution media (for example, distribution via the Internet or inclusion in a film production). The video file can go through an automated review process to check for inappropriate content and / or to confirm compliance with formatting requirements. The video file can also undergo a manual review for content marked as potentially inappropriate and / or to select among videos available for inclusion in a television production. Transcoding and review can be performed according to attributes associated with the video content (for example, identifying a particular television program to which the video content is potentially intended to be included) and / or user credentials for a user who has submitted the content (for example, user credentials indicating whether the user is authorized to submit content for distribution via the Internet and / or television).
media recorder and / or a separate media player may include built-in functionality to allow the recording user to edit the video (for example, retouch video, add photos, add audio, introduce special effects, etc.).
A media player can also be used to view videos once they are captured and stored on the external entity's server. For example, a video captured by a particular user can be stored on the external server system and can be made available for viewing via an i frame embedded in a social network page associated with the particular user (for example,
14/74 example, the user's wall on Facebook®) and / or through other network pages or online access techniques (for example, YouTube®, Twitter®, or a private label network page). When a user selects the video for viewing, the media player is called, and the video is played (for example, streamed) to the requesting user's device. If the viewing user is authorized to share personal information with the external entity providing the media player (for example, when calling the media player to record a video or in another previous interaction with the external entity server), information regarding the user (eg demographic information) can be provided to the external entity server in response to the user selecting the video for viewing.
Private videos can be selected for inclusion on a social network page associated with an entity that can collect videos from numerous users (for example, a television show or television network). For example, videos can be selected based on viewing activities for the videos, such as a number of access requests, favorable indications (ie, number of Like button clicks by other viewers), viewer comments or feedback, etc. . Thus, viewing activities for videos on the social networking site can be used as an initial selection of video content to determine whether the video is potentially desirable for inclusion on an entity's own social networking site or social media page. Videos, once selected, can be included on a page
15/74 social network or on another network page for a television show or other entity and can be used, for example, to additionally select videos for potential inclusion in a television program or other distribution. An administrative editing and selection server (for example, as described in US patent application 13 / 185,477, entitled Administration of Content Creation and Distribution System, the content of which is incorporated into this document in its entirety) can also be used to separate videos (for example, for inappropriate content) and / or edit videos before posting the videos to a network page or including the videos on a television show.
Figure IA is a functional block diagram of an architecture 100 for embedding a media recorder on a social networking site. Architecture 100 includes a user device 110, a social networking system 120, a video management server system 130 and a private label server system 170. Architecture 100 can be provided as a set of interconnected server and software systems . Communications between user device 110, social network system 120, video management server system 130 and private label server system can be performed via or via network 140. In general, architecture 100 can provide a system for record and publish video content on a social networking platform or other network-based or television-based platforms. Video content can also include audio content and can include, for example, 24-30 frames per second video of motion
16/74 complete with constant or variable bit rate audio. Video content can be viewed or displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) 150 displayed on a display device 152. Display device 152 can be physically connected to user device 110, and GUI 150 can display received information both the social network system 120 and the video management server system 130, or both the private label server system 170 and the video management server system 130.
At a high level, a network server 121 of social network system 120 provides one or more social network pages 155 (1), 155 (2), 155 (3) for user device 110. Users can interact with content on each social network page 155, for example, when selecting hyperlinks, icons and / or images or when entering information in available fields. The social network page 155 can include a link that starts the media recording software 137 stored on the server system 130. The media recording software 137 provides functionality enabling users to record a video using a video recording interface that provides recording controls such that the recorded video is stored on the server system 130 (for example, the video is streamed to the server system 130 as described in US patent application 13 / 185,471). Media recorder software 137 can use scripts or other software instructions, for example, that enable connection via an interface with a camera 115 and microphone 117 integrated with user device 110, and users can further edit videos recorded using
17/74 a video editing interface provided by the editing software 139 on the server system 130.
Recorded videos can be made available for viewing by other users (for example, after the video has been approved through an administrative review or after the user who is submitting to authorize distribution) on other pages of the social network system (for example, the page personal social network of the user you are submitting) or on other network sites. Viewing may require use of the media player software 138 and / or retrieve videos from a video hosting server 135 of the video management server system 130. The video management server system 130 can monitor viewer activities related to the videos accessed from the video hosting server 135. For example, the video hosting server 135 can track the number of times a video is viewed and can, in some cases, track demographic information by relating to individual viewers. In addition, viewers can indicate whether they like the video by registering a pass approval indication, providing comments or ratings, or by other methods. Such referrals can be provided to the social network system 120 and / or stored on it or on the video management server system 130. For example, viewer feedback can be provided to the social network system 120 and stored on it, and the system video management server 130 can access feedback via an application programming interface 125 of the social network system 120. The system
18/74 video management server 130 can determine if parts of the videos meet certain publication criteria and select those that meet the criteria for inclusion in the displayed instances 153 (see figure 1B) of social network page 155, in other associated media with the video management server system 130 or a private label server system 170. Additional details of the components are described below.
User device 110 includes a processor 111, memory 113, camera 115, microphone 117 and interface 119, and may include other input and output devices. Camera 115 and microphone 117 can enable user device 110 to capture videos. The web browser 116 can be any web browser capable of running in the operating system on user device 110 and enabling user device 110 to display social network pages 155 and other network pages. Interface 119 can enable user device 110 to connect to remote servers to receive and transmit data (for example, video data, user data, web page content, etc.). Network page content and other data can be stored in memory 113.
The social networking system 120 includes a network hosting server 121, an application server 123, an application programming interface 125 and memory 127. In general, the social networking system 120 can allow registered users to enter the system (for example, using a user name and password) to access social networking services. For example, social networking services can
19/74 include Facebook®, Twitter®, Myspace®, Googlet®, Renren®, and / or other available social networking services. In some implementations, the social networking system 120 empowers users to create an account based on their social identities and provides various social networking services to the registered user through the account. For example, social networking services may include searching for other members of similar social identities and connecting with those members, interacting with connected members via text messages, blogs, information sharing, making recommendations and other communications.
network hosting server 121 can provide one or more social network pages 155 (1), 155 (2), 155 (3) through which users can access services provided by the social network system 120. For example, the server network hosting 121 can host a registration network page that allows users to register with social network system 120. Social network system 120 can also provide a first social network page 155 (1) to the user device 110. For example, the first social network page 155 (1) can be associated with an entity, such as a television program, and can include network content associated with the entity. In some instances, the first social network page 155 (1) can be associated with the registered user and can include network content. The network content hosted on the social network services can be provided directly by the social network system 120 and can include links embedded in the first social network page 155 (1) that can be used to retrieve content hosted by external entities.
20/74
User information and other content from the social network page 155 can be stored in memory 127 and provided to user devices by the network hosting server 121, while multimedia connections, games and other external entity applications can be provided by the server. application 123 and / or accessed from an external server (for example, the video management server system 130) through an application programming interface 125. Social network system 120 may include one or more such programming interfaces 125 applications (and / or software development kits) through which external entities can define applications or services that can be hosted on servers of external entities.
In some implementations, social network pages 155 can provide users with access to a thin client application (or network application) that displays information and allows users to interact with available social network services. In some embodiments, application server 123 can support network hosting server 121 to run the thin client application. The application server 123 can also provide applications created and disseminated by external entities, as well as local applications within the social network system 120.
The application programming interface 125 can provide access to applications hosted on external servers. For example, external entities can develop applications for users registered on the social networking system 120 to submit information (for example, audio / visual content), interact with other users and conduct
21/74 other activities. The application programming interface 125 can provide access to video players, recorders, games, calendars, blogs, messages and other applications to the social network page 155. For example, the application programming interface 125 and / or a kit software development tools can be used to define, within memory 127 of the social network system 120, an external form (for example, text, icons or images) of an embedded link that appears on the social network page 155 and an address of network from which a network application can be retrieved when the link is selected. The application programming interface 125 can provide access via the link embedded in the social network page 155 for network applications stored in the video management server system 130, including the media recorder software 137, the media player software 138 and the 139 editing software. When a network application is called upon selecting the embedded link, the network application can be run on the video management server system 130, resulting in the display of a corresponding application interface within a frame of the page social network 155. Thus, application programming interface 125 may allow external entities to incorporate links to external applications or services hosted on an external entity server. The application programming interface 125 can facilitate the delivery of content (for example, a video recording user interface, a video playback user interface or an editing user interface) that is displayed on social network pages 155 and the exchange of
22/74 information (for example, user demographics, video viewing data, feedback data, link or image data for display on social network pages 155) between social network system 120 and server system 130 The application programming interface 125 can include specifications for routines, data structures, object classes, variables and other objects. The application programming interface specification 125 can take several forms, including an International Standard such as POSIX, or vendor documentation such as the Microsoft Windows API, or the libraries of a programming language, for example,
Standard Template Library in C + t or Java API.
Social network system memory 127 stores data and program instructions for social network page 155. In some instances, network hosting server 121 or application server 123 may include its own memory or may use memory 127. Memory 127 may include any type of memory or database module and may take the form of volatile or non-volatile memory including, without limitation, magnetic media, optical media, random access memory (RAM), memory only. (ROM), removable media, or any other suitable local or remote memory component. Memory 127 can store various objects, object models and data, including classes, structures, applications, retrieval data, business objects, tasks, network pages, network page models, database tables, process contexts , repositories storing local services for the social network system 120 and any other
23/74 appropriate information including any parameters, variables, algorithms, instructions, rules, restrictions or references thereto associated with the purposes of the social network system 120 and its functionality. In some implementations, including on a cloud-based system, some or all of the memory 127 may be stored away from the social networking system 120 and communicably connected to the social networking system 120 for use. As previously described, memory 127 may include one or more metamodels associated with various objects included or associated with the underlying platform. Specifically, memory 127 can store items and data related to the social network page 155 and / or other related entities or components for collaboration.
video management server system 130 includes a video management network server 131, an activity tracking server 132, an administration curator server 133, a video hosting server 135 and a video transcoding server 136. The video management network server 131 can enable user device 110 to capture and transmit video data to the video management server system 130. For example, video management network server 131 can provide access to video management software recording media 137 to enable user device 110 to be used for video creation. The video management network server 131 can also provide access to media player software 138 to enable video playback on user device 110 and editing software 139 to provide
24/74 editing tools for users to edit the created videos. Media recording software 137 can be accessed on user device 110 as a thin client application in such a way that a recording interface is displayed via the web browser 116 of user device 110 and used to capture audio data / video which are temporarily stored in memory 113 of user device 110 and sent to the video management server system 130 as a video stream as audio / video data is captured (as described in the US patent application) 13 / 185,471). For example, during recording, and as the video camera generates video data, the video data can be cached and transmitted to one or more backup servers. The network-based recorder can capture and cache enough video data to retain broadcast quality requirements and transmit video data to one or more rear servers in near real time. More specifically, as video data is generated, the video data is cached and a predetermined amount of video data is transmitted intermittently by the client computing device to one or more rear servers. The predetermined amount of video data that is transmitted can be determined based on the available transmission bandwidth instead of, for example, adapting image quality to satisfy limited bandwidth availability. The video stream can be received by the video management server system 130, and the video hosting server
25/74 video 135, for example, can generate and store a video file that corresponds to the received video stream. In general, media recording software 137, media player software 138 and editing software 139 can be called up via the application programming interface 125 of the social network system 120 and displayed in a one-page frame. social network 155. Similarly, media recording software 137, media player software 138 and editing software 139 can be called via application programming interfaces on other network pages (for example, hosted by a private label server system 170 as further described below).
In general, as described in US patent application 13 / 185,471, system 100 can provide users with video file recording and editing capabilities that provide an easy-to-use interface, not requiring users to have knowledge of video formatting or computer file systems, and facilitate automatic transfer of video files or other content to a server. Such a transfer may use a thin client application based on a network server capable of displaying a user interface through a browser on a user device or a specialized application capable of running on a user device (for example, on a mobile device or a tabular computer). In any case, the application can connect via the user device's native recording capabilities to capture high definition (HD) or definition format video files
6/74 standard (SD). The video file recording and editing software can guide the user through a process of creating and submitting a video file that captures video through an embedded video camera or connected to the user's device to create a video file that satisfy requirements for submission to a content distribution subsystem, and submit the video file to the content distribution subsystem.
The system can thus facilitate convenient creation and uninterrupted transfer of compressed video files (for example, audiovisual content created for inclusion on a social network page and / or in response to a broadcast request for videos relating to a particular topic) or other user-generated content. The system can ensure that the submitted video files meet certain parameters, so that the files have an appropriate quality level for inclusion in linear television programming and in such a way that the files can be automatically and automatically transcoded to one or more video file formats (according to relevant frame rates, bit rates, etc., which may be dependent on the intended destination for the content) according to the intended destination.
After video files are created and stored on the video management server system 130, media player software 138 can be called upon to play the video on user device 110 used to capture the video or on a different user device 110. In some implementations, media player software 138
27/74 can be played on the video management network server 131 in such a way that the video is displayed on user device 110 in a thin client application environment (for example, the video file is played by the video player software media 138 on the video management network server 131 and is sent to user device 110 as a video stream). The video can be displayed in a frame (for example, a Frame i) on a social network page 155. For example, a still image from the video and / or a link to the video can be displayed on a social network page 155 When a user selects the image or other link, a video playback frame can be displayed on the social network page 155, although the contents of the frame (that is, the video) can be provided by the media player software 138 running on video management network server 131. In other implementations, media player software 138 can be stored locally in the memory 113 of user device 110 and used to play a video file sent by the video management server system 130 to the user device 110. Editing software 139 can also be called up on a user device 110 to display an editing interface that includes editing tools for editing video file contents. As with media player software 138, editing software 139 can run on the video management network server 131 in such a way that the video is displayed on user device 110 in a thin client application environment or can be stored locally in the 113 memory of the
28/74 user device 110 and used to edit a video file sent by the server management system
video 130 for the device user 110. Both O media player software 138 how much the software in edition 139 can be provided for one device in user 110 within a frame of a network page Social 155 hosted on the system network social 120 or
within a frame of a network page hosted on the private label server system 170.
As users access video files stored on the video management server system 130, the server system 130 can receive and monitor viewer activities related to the videos. For example, because the videos are stored on the server system 130, the server system 130 can monitor requests for access to the videos (submitted via the social network system 120 or other host sites) and make operational decisions based on viewer activities. For example, viewer activities may include indicating that the viewer likes the video, leaving text comments for the video, attaching response media to the video, sharing the video, posting the video again on other network sites and other activities. Activity tracking module 132 can monitor such access requests and other viewer activities related to the video being played, and viewer information and viewing activity data can be used to make decisions regarding additional publications video (for example, on other network sites
29/74 or network pages within the same network site or network server system).
In some implementations, activity tracking module 132 monitors activities related to media player software 138 to determine whether certain video clips meet predetermined criteria for publication in other displayed instances. For example, the activity tracking module 132 can monitor whether a certain video appealed to a predetermined number of viewers (for example, a thousand viewers), or at a particular rate (for example, a thousand views in two weeks). The condition of monitored viewer may be a result of its own popularity among viewers (eg funniest home video), its relevance to current news topics (eg, the latest news), its correspondence to certain media (eg example, correct answers to a TV competition), or other reasons.
administration curator server 133 can perform automatic separation of video content (for example, for inappropriate content) and can allow a television administrator or producer to make personal decisions regarding publication on the Internet, inclusion in a television program, or editing . For example, administration curator 133 can be used to implement the techniques and systems described in US patent application 13 / 185,477. In some implementations, the administration curator server 133 can be used to separate video content into a video file before the video file is available for viewing by the server system.
30/74 video management 130 (for example, by anyone other than the user who recorded the video). Such a review can ensure, for example, that the operator of the video management server system 130 or a producer of a television program avoids distributing content that does not meet the operator's or producer's standards for quality or decency. In addition, the approval process may allow an administrator or producer to control video content posted to a social network page or another network page. In some implementations, the approval process can also take place in phases. For example, an administrative operator of the video management server system 130 can review and approve the video before the video is posted even on the selected distribution channel (s) of the user they are submitting (for example, social network pages associated with the user's respective social network accounts), and an administrator or producer associated with an advertising entity can review and approve the video before the video is posted on the network site (s) entity's social network and / or on private label network sites (for example, after attracting the entity's attention through tracking activity). The previous initial review may allow the operating entity of the video management server system 130 to ensure, for example, that the video management server system 130 is not associated with inappropriate content (for example, to avoid damaging the reputation of the server system video management 130 and / or advertisers on system 130). The latest minor revision may allow the entity that is disclosing
31/74 control content on their social networking sites and / or other private label networking sites.
video hosting server 135 in the video management server system 130 can provide storage, organization and connection tools for the video management network server 131. What's more, a video transcoding server 136 can provide conversion to convert incoming video streams received from user devices to a video file. For example, when users create audio / video content using media recording software 137, the video transcoding server 136 can receive the incoming video stream and automatically convert the video stream to a video file having one or more formats. The video stream can be automatically converted to one or more appropriate formats for further distribution as described in US patent application 13 / 185,471. The video file can be transcoded into a format that is suitable for use in a designated downstream. In addition, an image file can be generated and can be provided in JPEG format or another appropriate image file format. The image file is used as a reduced image representing the video file. In some implementations, the video hosting server 135 receives a multimedia video stream from the media recording software 137 in real time as the content is created. In some other implementations, multimedia content can first be created locally on user device 110 and transferred to the server
32/74 video hosting 135 after creation. The video hosting server 135 stores the video files for subsequent editing using the editing software 139, reviewing and approving through the administration curator server 133, and viewing through the media player software 138. The hosting server video 135 can empower users to create search terms as well as other tag information along with the video for organization. For example, the video hosting server 135 may include databases that categorize videos based on common resources, as well as common searchable terms or keywords. The video hosting server 135 can insert pre-list, post-list, tracks, recorders or other content to be served to viewers for viewing with a video hosted on the video hosting server 135 (for example, in the direction of curators or administrators). Content may also include tools that allow users to distribute a video to other users (for example, when sending a message linked to the video via email or via a social media service or posting a link to the video on a page network). Such content can be included in the video when it is recorded or viewed through a social network page 155 or another network page. For example, video hosting service 135 can interface through network server 121 through application programming interface 125 to provide video and other content to be displayed in an i frame or another frame embedded in a 155 social networking page.
33/74 distribution displayed in the frame of the social network page 155 can be used to have the video hosting server 135 automatically distribute a video to other users using user profile data stored on the video hosting server 135. For For example, user profile data can define user account and / or login information for other social media services or e-mail services that enable the video hosting server 135 to distribute the video in response to a user selection distribution tools. Distribution tools can allow a user to recommend a video to others via the external video management server system 130, which in turn distributes the recommended video (or links to it) using one or more network systems social or other network server systems. Such capabilities can also be provided on other network pages (for example, hosted on a private label server system 170) other than those hosted on the social network system 120. When hosting videos on the external video management server system 130, the video hosting service 135 can also track the number, frequency and destination of video plays and can track publication impressions (for example, pre-lists, post-lists, etc.) associated with such video plays to receive credit for advertiser serving impressions. The external video management server system 130 and any entities on whose behalf the system 130 hosts content can thus obtain better information regarding video viewing.
34/74 videos than if the videos were hosted on the social network system. Similarly, the video management server system 130 can obtain information regarding the recommendations that are provided via the video management server system 130, such as the number and destination of such recommendations.
The private label server system 170 may include a network hosting server 172 and an application programming interface 174. In some implementations, media hosted and / or recorded via the video management server system 130 may be distributed via from the private label server system 170. For example, videos can be selected, after meeting certain criteria associated with the activity tracking server 132, for further distribution through a private label network site hosted on the network hosting server 172. In some implementations, such videos can be stored on the private label server system 170 and distributed using a media player hosted on the private label server system 170 or transferred to user devices 110. In other implementations, videos can be accessed through a private label network site through the application programming interface. s 174, which may be similar to the application programming interface 125 of the social networking system 120.
Features of each of the social network system
120, the video management server system 130 and the private label server system 170 can be segmented in other modes across multiple servers
35/74 or can be combined in modes other than those described above (for example, some of the functions described as being performed by different servers can be combined on a single server), and the various server systems may also include functionality other than those described above .
Figure 1B illustrates a social network page displayed on the user device of figure IA. Typically, user device 110 accesses the social networking services provided on social network system 120 through a social network page 155 displayed on GUI 150. Social network page 155 can be displayed on a particular user device 110 as a displayed instance 153 that currently displays the requested content. Generally speaking, a displayed instance 153 of the social network page 155 includes social media content 157 hosted by the social network system 120. The displayed instance 153 can also include one or more embedded links 161, where each is defined using a software development kit, application programming interface 125 and / or other programming tools supported by the social networking system 120. An embedded link can be used to call the media recorder software 137, the media player software 138 and / or editing software 139. For example, when the social network hosting server 121 receives a request from user device 110 to call media recording software 137 within the displayed instance 153, a video management frame 159 is displayed in the displayed instance 153. Users can request to call the media recording software 137 by clicking on an icon or
36/74 in a link that includes a URL for the media recording software 137. In response, a video recording interface is instantiated within the video management framework 159 through the application programming interface 125 that enables integration with the displayed instance 153 of the social network page 155. The application programming interface 125 allows the video recording interface to appear on the displayed instance 153 as an integral part of the social network page 155. For example, in some implementations, the video management board 159 can be displayed using a Board i on the social network page 155 or on another network page. Other formats can also be used. The video recorder interface allows a user to record video on the server system 130 using the media recorder software 137 that runs on the server system 130. The media player software 138 can play videos stored on the video management server system 130 via of a media player interface within the video management framework 159 of the displayed instance 153. In some implementations, media player software 138 can also be accessed through other video-enabled sites or services. The editing software 139 can be used to edit videos stored on the video management server system 130 via an editing interface within the video management frame 159 of the displayed instance 153.
The editing user interface can provide editing tools for users to edit video content. Editing tools can include adapting,
37/74 cut, overlap, combine, interconnect multiple and / or different multimedia content. For example, users can combine photos, videos, audios, animations, computer graphics, captions, texts and other content to form a video clip. The edited videos can be saved on the video hosting server 135 and provided to user devices as the video is released.
Although the contents of the video management board 159 and the social network page 155 are supported by two different server systems (that is, the video management server system 130 and the social network system 120, respectively), they can be seamlessly integrated into the displayed instances 153 of the social network page 155. For example, users or viewers may perceive the content of the video management board 159 as part of the social network page 155. In some implementations, in response to a user select a link or an icon on the social network page 155 to call an initiation of the media recording software 137 (for example, at least if this operation has never been performed by the private user), the social network page 155 may provide a message to the user explaining terms and conditions for using the 137 media recording software. The user may be required to accept the terms and conditions before being able to proceed with the operation. The user can grant the media recording software 137, as well as the video management server system 130, limited rights to access user account information. The video management server system 130 can then, based on profile information as well as
38/74 online activity provided by the user, associate received video and access requests for stored video with user information profile and / or automatically adapt the media recording software 137, media player software 138 or editing software 139 for the user. For example, media player software 138 may offer advertising that is likely to be of interest to the user. The advertisement can be provided by the server system 130 or by some other source. The operator of the server system 130 can thus track publication impressions and can receive credit for publication impressions.
Social network page 155 and video management board 159 can be displayed on a GUI 150 displayed on a display device 152 of user device 110. GUI 150 can be operable, for example, to allow the device to user 110 interacts with at least part of the social network page 155. Generally speaking, GUI 150 can provide an efficient and favorable presentation to the user of social network information provided by or communicated within the social network system 120. The GUI 150 can include multiple frames or customizable views with interactive fields, drop-down lists and user-operated keys. For example, GUI 150 can provide interactive elements that allow a user to interact with a particular component within the social network page 155 and / or external to it, such as media player software 138, for example. Different parts of the functionality of the corresponding component can be displayed and
39/74 accessible to the user through the GUI 150, such as through the social network page 155 (for example, in a network browser). Generally speaking, GUI 150 can also provide general interactive elements that allow a user to access and use various services and functions of a particular component.
In some instances, social media page 155 can be used to access various parts of social media system 120. GUI 150 can display information from social media page 155 for viewing and interaction. In general, the GUI 150 is typically configurable, supports a combination of multimedia content (photos, videos, audios, computer graphics and other network content), and is capable of building portals in real time, where tabs are outlined through key features (for example, site or microsite). Therefore, GUI 150 can include any suitable graphical user interface, such as a combination of a generic web browser, intelligent engine and command line interface (CLI) that processes information about the platform and presents the results efficiently. to the user visually.
Although illustrated as a single user device 110 in architecture 100, architecture 100 generally includes multiple user devices 110 that provide GUIs 150 for interacting with social network system 120 using instances of social network page 155. The user device 110 can be any computing device operable to connect or communicate with social network system 120 and server system
40/74 video management 130 using a cable or wireless line connection over network 140, or another suitable device or communication channel. As used in this description, user device 110 is intended to encompass a personal computer, touch screen terminal, workstation, network computer, kiosk, wireless data port, smart phone, personal data assistant ( PDA), one or more processors within these or other devices, or any other suitable computer. For example, user device 110 may include a computer that includes an input device, such as a mini keyboard, touchscreen, mouse, or other device that can accept user information, and an output device that carries associated information. with the social network page 155, including digital data, visual information, or the GUI 150.
Figures 2Ά and 2B illustrate a flowchart of a process 200 for recording and presenting content on a social network site on an external server system. Flowchart 200 represents operations that can be performed by the social network system 120 and the video management server system 130 as shown in Figure 1A. Although process 200 is generally described in the context of capturing a single video file from a single user, process 200 can be used in connection with receiving video streams and generating video files for a plurality of users. At 202, a social network page is provided for a user. For example, the social media page can include a number of related network content
41/74 with the user's social network, such as, for example, a list of friends, indication of relationship for these friends, their status, multimedia content shared by them or theirs, etc. The social network page can also be a network page associated with an entity (for example, a business, a television program, etc.). The social network page is hosted on a social network system. In 204, a link to media recording software is provided within a displayed instance of the social network page. For example, the link can be an icon, a text link with a URL, or another representation that is embedded in the displayed instance of the social network page and that can be selected by the user (for example, by clicking on the link using a mouse ) to cause an application to run (for example, a video recording application).
In response to the user selecting the link, a request to call media recording software within the displayed instance of the social network page is received at 206. The media recording software is provided by a server system external to the social network system that provides the social network page. On the social network page, a message or window can be presented to the user, informing the user about the authorization conditions. In 208, the user confirms authorization and user information is received on the server system that provides the media recording software. For example, information associated with the user's social media user account, such as demographic information, user identifier, username, etc., is received
42/74 on the server system that provides the media recording software. The information can be stored for subsequent use when identifying the user or user attributes (for example, to associate video received with the user or to identify the user when the user subsequently accesses content stored on the server system). In this way, the user's account with the social networking system can be leveraged to provide information to the video management server system 130 without requiring the user to have a separate account with the video management server system 130, which can reduce behavioral friction for submitting videos for potential inclusion, for example, in a television program or IPTV program, or for submission in a competition. In some situations, the server system provides a video recording interface using the 210 media recording software. The video recording interface is provided through an application programming interface on the social network system and is adapted to allow the user to record video on the external server system through recording controls of the included video recording interface (for example, as a frame) on the displayed instance of the social network page.
At 212, the user records a video using the video recording interface and a corresponding video stream is received on the external server system. For example, the user can record or transfer a video using the integrated hardware (eg, built-in camera, microphone, etc.), or using a dedicated device (eg, portable camcorder, camera, etc.) connected to the
43/74 user device, or other appropriate devices. In 214, the video stream is converted to a video file and stored on the server system. The video stream can be transmitted to the server system and converted to a real-time video file (that is, as the video is being recorded). In some implementations, video editing tools are provided by the server system at 216. Video editing tools can enable users to modify the video file using various methods such as cutting, adapting, overlapping, combining different media, etc. The video editing tools can be displayed to the user within the social networking site.
In 217, in some instances, the video file is approved for distribution (for example, through a manual or automated review process). The approval process may result in the selection of the video file for distribution on one or more networks. In 218, access to the stored video file is provided for viewers. Access can be provided through social networking sites and networking sites hosted outside the social networking system on other social networking server platforms or private label networks. For example, the stored video file is provided over the Internet or over one or more local and global networks. The number of access requests can be tracked on the server system by hosting the video file at 220 (for example, based on accessing the video file stored by the server system and / or retrieving the media player software needed to play the video ). For example,
44/74 the server system can monitor and record the number, frequency and other related information associated with requests for the stored video file. The server system can also monitor user / viewer ratings, as well as comments, responses and other forms of replies in 222. In many instances, the user / viewer rating may include the number of Preferences provided in social networking services, such as like on Facebook ®, +1 on Google + ®, star ratings on YouTube®, for example. In some implementations, the server system can monitor viewer responses including text comments, republication, sharing on other network sites or platforms and other user response activities. In some implementations, additional information such as information associated with the social network user accounts of users viewing the video can also be collected by the external server system. Based on the monitoring data in 220 and 222, if the video file meets certain criteria, the video file can be selected for further distribution in 224. For example, since a video that appears on one or more social network pages individual or non-commercial has been viewed a threshold number of times or given a threshold rating, the video can be selected to be included on a commercial social network page (for example, associated with an entity that has requested video content relating to a particular topic). The video can also be selected for further distribution via private label network sites.
45/74
In some implementations, the social network page or other network page selected for further distribution of the video file selected in 224 is associated with a television program, such as a competition show, a reality-backed show, or other form of public entertainment. The selected video file is made available for viewing on the social network page or on another network page at 226. Additional viewer response to the selected video file through the additional distribution can be used to determine whether it is to additionally include the video file in a linear television program or broadcast via the Internet (for example, IPTV) and / or to select from a plurality of video files submitted for inclusion in a linear television program or broadcast via
Internet.
Figure 3 is a displayed instance of example 300 from a social network page to present content from a video management server system. The displayed instance of example 300 can be viewed by viewers in the GUI of their electronic devices. The displayed instance 300 includes a video recording start button 305, a media player software frame 317, a view counter 310, a preference counter 320, the various sharing options 330, a recommendation list 340, 350 viewer comments and other resources. The video recording initiation key 305 can be activated to cause software on the external video management server system to display a video recording interface for
46/74 users create a video clip. In some implementations, the video recording start button 305 allows users to choose an existing video file to be transferred.
As illustrated in figure 3, the 317 media player software framework includes playback controls, as well as sharing and rating options. The media player software frame 317 includes content provided by the external video management server system for display on the social network page instance 300. The sharing and rating options enable viewers to respond to the video, for example, when republishing the video on other network sites, rate the video with a star rating (for example, 1 to 5), and other response methods. The media player software window 317 includes a playback screen 315, which can be used to display selected videos, as well as videos captured when the video recording start key 305 is activated. Statistics of the current video stream can be displayed
at the counter of views 310 and on the counter Preferences 320. videos what satisfy certain criteria in classification or of return can to be recommended in list recommendation 340, . Viewers can select these videos for reproduction inside of software framework
media player 317. Viewer comments 350 allow viewers to leave their comments when responding to displayed videos. Viewers can provide comments and respond to comments after creating
47/74 a system profile and marked when using the system profile. Viewer comments 350 can also be used for comparison with certain criteria for determining whether to view or publish the video stream on the social network site.
Figure 4 is a flowchart for recording and viewing content on a social network site on a user device. In 410, a user can access a social network page on a user's device. The user device can be a laptop, a desktop computer, a netbook, a tablet PC, a PDA, a smart phone, or another mobile or non-mobile computer or other electronic device that enables basic computing and access to an accessible network to the social network page. The user can call media recording software that enables a recording interface at 420. For example, the user can click on a link or an icon that points to media recording software hosted on a server system away from the network system Social. The video recording interface allows the user to record a video clip at 430 and store the video clip on a server at 440. The video clip can be recorded using various devices including built-in cameras, dedicated cameras, portable camcorders or other equipment. The transferred video is shared at 450 by one or more networks. The user can choose which network to post the video to and can include searchable resources to promote the video clip. If the video is well received and earns a certain rating that meets predetermined criteria associated with the social networking site, the user receives a
48/74 notification in 460. The notification may include information regarding participation in programs related to a TV show associated with the social network site. The user can then choose to participate in the TV show at 470.
