Abstract

Enables integration of sensor data with other information on servers such as social media sites to detect, confirm and/or publish events. Sensors may measure values such as motion, temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, elevation, light, sound, or heart rate, etc. Sensor data and event tags may be utilized to curate text, images, video, sound and post the results to social networks, for example in a dedicated feed. Event tags generated by the system may represent for example activity types, players, performance levels, or scoring results. The system may analyze social media postings to confirm or augment event tags. Users may filter and analyze saved events based on the assigned tags. The system may create highlight and fail reels filtered by metrics and by tags. Recommendations may be provided to a user based on analysis of sensor data and other information; recommendations may include for example recommended friends, purchases, or activities.
