Abstract

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising receiving one or more media content items; creating one or more leveraged content items from the media content item(s) by extracting one or more leverage points from the media content item(s); obtaining user information, such as user preferences and user context; selecting a selected content item from the leveraged content item(s) based on the user information; creating a custom content item by further extracting a subset of the leverage points from the selected content item based on the user information; and presenting the custom content item to the user's equipment. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 obtaining, by a processing system having a processor, user context information, wherein the user context information includes a location of a user;   creating, by the processing system, a plurality of leveraged content items by extracting a plurality of leverage points from a plurality of media content items, wherein the plurality of leverage points are identified by metadata representing at least one behavior of at least one past viewer of the plurality of media content items;   creating, by the processing system, a custom content item by combining a subset of the plurality of leveraged content items based on the user context information; and   presenting, by the processing system, the custom content item to a communication device corresponding to the user context information.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the metadata represents points of excitement within each media content item of the plurality of media content items based on previous use of at least portions of the media content items. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 monitoring, by the processing system, a consumption of the user of the custom content item; and   revising, by the processing system, the plurality of leveraged content items based on the consumption of the user of the custom content item.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of media content items comprise sporting events and wherein the plurality of leverage points are further identified as points within each sporting event that impacts an outcome of the sporting event. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the creating the custom content item by combining the subset of the plurality of leveraged content items based on the user context information comprises creating the custom content item using a first subset of the leveraged content items when the user is at home, and creating the custom content item using a second subset of the leveraged content items when the user is away from home. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the first subset is larger than the second subset, such that the custom content item is longer when the user is at home versus when the user is away from home. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the user context information comprises the communication device. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the creating the custom content item by combining the subset of the plurality of leveraged content items based on the user context information comprises creating the custom content item using a first subset of the leveraged content items when the communication device is mobile, and creating the custom content item using a second subset of the leveraged content items when the communication device is not mobile. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the user context information comprises an activity of the user. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the creating the custom content item by combining the subset of the plurality of leveraged content items based on the user context information comprises creating the custom content item using a first subset of the leveraged content items when the user is stationary, and creating the custom content item using a second subset of the leveraged content items when the user is not stationary. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of leverage points are further identified based on input from the user. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 providing, by the processing system to the communication device, a group of the plurality of leveraged content items, the group being chosen based on the user context information; and   receiving, by the processing system from the communication device, the input.   
     
     
         13 . A system comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory storing executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations comprising:   obtaining user context information, wherein the user context information includes a location of a user;   creating a plurality of leveraged content items by extracting a plurality of leverage points from a plurality of media content items, wherein the plurality of leverage points are identified by metadata representing at least one behavior of at least one past viewer of the plurality of media content items;   creating a custom content item by combining a subset of the plurality of leveraged content items based on the user context information; and   presenting the custom content item to a communication device corresponding to the user context information.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the metadata represents points of excitement within each media content item of the plurality of media content items based on previous use of at least portions of the media content items. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , the operations further comprising:
 monitoring a consumption of the user of the custom content item;   revising the user context information based on the consumption of the user of the custom content item; and   revising the plurality of leveraged content items based on the consumption of the user of the custom content item.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein each leveraged content item of the plurality of leveraged content items corresponds to one of the plurality of media content items and wherein the user context information comprises the communication device and an activity of the user. 
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, perform operations comprising:
 obtaining user context information, wherein the user context information includes a location of a user;   creating a plurality of leveraged content items by extracting a plurality of leverage points from a plurality of media content items, wherein the plurality of leverage points are identified by metadata representing at least one behavior of at least one past viewer of the plurality of media content items;   creating a custom content item by combining a subset of the plurality of leveraged content items based on the user context information; and   presenting the custom content item to a communication device corresponding to the user context information.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of  claim 17 , wherein the metadata represents points of excitement within each media content item of the plurality of media content items based on previous use of at least portions of the media content items. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 monitoring a consumption of the user of the custom content item;   revising the user context information based on the consumption of the user of the custom content item; and   revising the plurality of leveraged content items based on the consumption of the user of the custom content item.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of  claim 17 , wherein the user context information comprises the communication device, wherein the creating the custom content item by combining the subset of the plurality of leveraged content items based on the user context information comprises creating the custom content item using a first subset of the leveraged content items when the communication device is mobile, and creating the custom content item using a second subset of the leveraged content items when the communication device is not mobile, and wherein the first subset is smaller than the second subset, such that the custom content item is shorter when the communication device is mobile versus when the communication device is not mobile.
