All content providers may be interested by the soccer event detection technology to manage efficiently their content database. When repurposing applications are targeted, these same providers will see an interest in having this module to help automatically detect events of interest.

The soccer event detection module may also be used by end users to manage their own content at home.

• Content structuring & browsing: Knowing where actions of interest are in a soccer match allows structuring of soccer matches. It also gives direct access to events, thus enabling a non linear browsing in the document.
• Content retrieval: By adding additional metadata to contents (ie. timecodes of events), the module finds a direct application in the context of content retrieval in video databases.
• Content repurposing: Knowing where the events are in a soccer match allows to repurpose this content for other broadcasting channels such as the internet or portable devices. In the later case, building summary from the detected events is of interest for sending this new repurposed content to mobile phones.
