  • Patent number: 9215368
    Abstract: The virtual decals for precision alignment of motion graphics of the present invention provides a method by which a person using a mobile video capturing device may apply a special effect or motion graphic to the video being captured using a virtual decal present on the screen of the mobile device, providing a reference to the user allowing the user to compensate for camera movement and properly frame the video to which the motion graphic will be applied using post-processing. The present invention further provides a method for measuring the optic flow of a given video scene and applying that data in a predictive manner so as to stabilize a motion graphic against the scene. Post processing places such a motion graphic within the processed video in such a way that it appears to be part of the original scene.

  • Patent number: 8025572
    Abstract: Methods and systems for broadcasting game sessions to be viewable by spectators are disclosed. After receiving game information from game participant clients, the title server determines whether the broadcast the game session to spectators, analyzes and repackages the received telemetry data, optionally embedding additional data, and rebroadcasts the repackaged telemetry as a spectator feed to non-participant spectator client devices for viewing by users of the spectator client devices. Embedded data may include commentary data, a director's cut specifying camera information, instructional data, etc. Each spectator client device can analyze and manipulate the received telemetry data using a copy of the video game executing on the spectator client device, or may simply playback the feed when the feed includes a complete audiovisual file. Spectator clients may submit feedback to the participant clients through the title server.

  • Patent number: 7632186
    Abstract: Methods and systems for broadcasting game sessions to be viewable by spectators are disclosed. In addition to sending telemetry data to other game clients participating in a game session, one or more game clients in the game session also sends the game telemetry data to a title server for the video game being played. The title server analyzes and repackages the received telemetry data and rebroadcasts the repackaged telemetry as a spectator feed to non-participant spectator client devices for viewing by users of the spectator client devices. Each spectator client device can analyze and manipulate the received telemetry data using a copy of the video game executing on the spectator client device, or may simply playback the feed when the feed includes a complete audiovisual file.
