Patent number: 11363325Abstract: A live broadcast is depicted, in this case a golf tournament. The broadcast is depicted on a television screen of a user, substantially in real time. In a television studio, which may be close to the site of the live broadcast, or may be remote therefrom, a commentator or pundit records segments of video analysis. The video image is sent to a server. The video clip of the commentator is then downloadable by the user using a device such as a mobile phone or tablet. The user can then view the additional content—the video segment of the commentator—on his device. Using the techniques of positioning and anchoring as described herein, the user can enjoy the video segment as though the commentator were present in the room, by viewing the room through a camera of the device.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: 2MEE LTDInventors: Christopher George Knight, James Patrick Riley, David Soppelsa

Patent number: 11361542Abstract: An augmented reality experience is provided to a user of a hand held device, such as a mobile phone, which incorporates an electronic processor, a camera and a display. Images taken from video footage are displayed in a display of a hand held device together with a live camera view, to create the illusion that the subject of the video—i.e., the virtual moving image—is present in the field of view of the camera in real time. In this context the term “real world” image means an image taken from reality, such as a physical, real-world scenario using an electronic photo-capture technique, e.g. video recording. A camera of a hand held device is aimed at a well-known object, which is recognisable to the device. A moving virtual image of an actor playing the part of an historical figure, chosen because of its relevance to the object, is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: 2MEE LTDInventors: Christopher George Knight, James Patrick Riley

Patent number: 11094131Abstract: A method of providing an augmented reality image comprises recording a basic image including a subject and a first background using a recording device, extracting a subject image from the basic image, and providing the extracted subject image to a display device for combining with a second background. At A the sending person using the app to record a moving image of their own head—ie a video—which is separated from the background by the app (the background being automatically discarded). The image is then sent to a recipient who, at B, sees the head speak to them either on their desktop or in the camera view of the smart phone/tablet if they so choose.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: 2MEE LTDInventors: Christopher George Knight, James Riley, David Soppelsa

Patent number: 10683578Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for producing electrolyzed water. In exemplary embodiments, a fluid container capable of storing a brine solution therein is used. An electrolytic cell is disposed within the fluid container and in communication with the brine solution. A power source is in electrical communication with the electrolytic cell, a pump is disposed in the fluid container; as is a chlorometer. A fluid container head is in removable mechanical communication with the fluid container, the fluid container head including a nozzle in fluid communication with the pump, a trigger in electrical communication with the pump, and a power switch in communication with the power source. A controller is in communication with the chlorometer and the electrolytic cell, the controller operating the electrolytic cell to convert the brine solution to a cleaning solution.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: EcoLogic Solutions Inc.Inventors: Anselm Karl Doering, Joshua George Knight, Edward Amoako

Publication number: 20190222806Abstract: A messaging system comprises a plurality of devices wherein at least a first sending user device is arranged in use to transmit an image to at least a second receiving user device which image comprises an electronically captured image of at least a part of a head of the sender extracted from a background. FIG. 1, shows various images 100 on displays (110) as received by recipients. The method and apparatus described above allow something between a text message exchange and a video call. The message sender uses either the front camera or the rear camera in the device, typically a smart phone, to capture a short video of them speaking and the app software cuts out the sender's head 100 from any background before transmitting the video clip to appear on the recipient's screen (110). The cut-out head can appear on a recipient's desktop, conveniently as part of a messaging screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2016Publication date: July 18, 2019Inventors: David Soppelsa, Christopher George Knight, James Patrick Riley, Gerrard Allen
