Publication number: 20180130214Abstract: The mobile, wearable, automated target tracking system is designed to enable an image and/or sound recording device, such as a video camera or directional microphone, to automatically follow a subject (or target) in order to keep that subject within the image frame or sound range that is being recorded. The automated target tracking system makes it possible to capture both the action and subject simultaneously without requiring a cameraman to manually operate the equipment. The indoor/outdoor, automated tracking system is designed to be independent of the video/sound recording device and may utilize a smartphone for location sensing and control. Both the target (or subject) and the tracking device may be moving, so the tracking device is designed to adjust position on 3 axes, azimuth (pan), elevation (tilt) and horizon (roll).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Inventors: Frank DeMartin, Erik Walton, Ricardo Peregrino

Patent number: 8274611Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate the use and operation of a television (TV) with an integrated sound projection system. The sound projector preferably comprises an array of speakers configurable to project beams that reflect off the walls and ceiling to create surround sound. In one embodiment, the user can use a graphical user interface-base menu system to move the sound beams around the viewing room while being presented with a graphical representation of the same. In another embodiment, a TV remote control unit can be equipped with a embedded microphone and microprocessor control to measure the audio level and transmit the level back to the TV to be used to automatically setup audio levels and delays in surround systems. In another embodiment, individual audio settings could be saved per each activity for a preferred viewing experience for a given activity.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2009Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America, Inc.Inventors: Frank DeMartin, David Naranjo, Jeffrey Whitelaw, Peter Mortensen

Patent number: 7054921Abstract: Using a music oriented Web site, a “student” user requests a tutorial or tour of a musical artist or genre on the World Wide Web portion of the Internet. The “expert” user peruses the “student” personal music library and creates a playlist for that library to assist in further understanding of the music by the “student” user. The playlist is transferred to a server which generates a command file. This command file is sent to the “student” user to control various multimedia components according to the “expert” user's selection. This tutorial may be accompanied by the “expert” user's personal commentary on his/her selections.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2001Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.Inventors: Frank DeMartin, Peter Douma, Denise Miccoli

Patent number: 6370550Abstract: Multimedia components for reproducing/recording information in a data storage medium are controlled via a personal computer. By selecting graphical representations of the multimedia components and of their control switches, the user enters instructions on the personal computer to perform various operations by the components. The representative operations include turning the component on/off, setting its volume, adjusting its bass/treble, etc. Another operation may include finding a particular track/scene in the user library displayed on the screen and reproducing the track/scene on the corresponding multimedia component by selecting on the screen the graphical representation corresponding to the reproducing operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1998Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronic, Inc.Inventors: Peter Douma, Frank DeMartin, Denise Miccoli
