Abstract: Disclosed herein are device, method, and computer program product embodiments for tracking the location of a device and corresponding tracked object and visually broadcasting their location. A device may transmit a signal via ultra-wideband, when moving, or Bluetooth low energy, when stationary, communication protocols to a mobile computing device. The signal can be used to triangulate the location of the device. The determined location information allows a device management system to track the location of devices and objects in a tracking environment. The device may receive instruction from the mobile computing device and/or device management system to illuminate and visually broadcast the location of the device and tracked object. The combination of the location and visual broadcast may allow a user to easily identify the device and tracked object in an environment with multiple tracked objects and location data alone may be insufficient for efficient identification.

Abstract: A computing system automatically detects, in a sequence of video frames, a video frame region that depicts a scoreboard. The video frames of the sequence depict image elements including (i) scoreboard image elements that are unchanging across the video frames of the sequence and (ii) other image elements that change across the video frames of the sequence. Given this, the computing system (a) receives the sequence, (b) engages in an edge-detection process to detect, in the video frames of the sequence, a set of edges of the depicted image elements, (c) identifies a subset of the detected set of edges based on each edge of the subset being unchanging across the video frames of the sequence, and (d) detects, based on the edges of the identified subset, the video frame region that depicts the scoreboard.
