  • Patent number: 8953054
    Abstract: According to an example, a computing device includes a memory on which is stored machine readable instructions that may cause a processor to access a video stream, generate geographical information associated with frames of the video stream, extract features of points of interest in the frames, transmit the extracted features of the points of interest and the geographical information to a server computer that is to use the extracted features of the points of interest and the geographical information to identify augment information, receive the augment information from the server computer, and augment the video stream with the augment information to generate an augmented video stream.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8488011
    Abstract: An mobile computing device includes a video capturing module to capture a video stream, a global positioning system (GPS) module to generate geographical information associated with frames of the video stream to be captured by the video capturing device, and a video processing module to analyze the frames of the video stream and extract features of points of interest included in the frames. The video processing is configured to transmit the features of the points of interest and the geographical information to a server and to receive augment information from the server computer using wireless communication. The video processing module uses the augment information to overlay the frames of the video stream to generate an augmented video stream.

  • Patent number: 8392450
    Abstract: User profile information for many users may be stored in a user profile database associated with a server computer connected to a network. Based on information received from a mobile computing device, the server computer selects augment information from an augment information database coupled with the user profile database. The information received from the mobile computing device is related to frames of a video stream being captured by the mobile computing device and geographical information associated with these frames. The augment information is also selected based on the user profile associated with the mobile computing device. The augment information is to be transmitted from the server computer to the mobile computing device using wireless communication and is used by the mobile computing device to overlay the frames of the video stream being captured by the mobile computing device.

  • Publication number: 20120201472
    Abstract: A system to provide augment information includes an object database configured to store characteristics and geographical information associated with known objects, and an object recognition engine configured to compare characteristics and geographical information of objects associated with a frame in a first set of frames of a video stream with the characteristics and geographical information stored in the object database to recognize a first known object. The system may include two or more server computers in a site. The two or more servers are configured with identical compositions of hardware and content with server computers at another geographically different site. The video stream is captured by a mobile computing device connected to a network using wireless communication.
