  • Publication number: 20240104793
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to add augmented reality to a sub-view of a high resolution central video feed. In various embodiments, a central video feed is received from a first camera on a first recurring basis and time-stamped position information is received from a tracking system on a second recurring basis. The central video feed is calibrated against a spatial region encompassed by the central video feed. The received time-stamped position information and a determined plurality of tiles associated with at least one frame of the central video feed are used to define a first sub-view of the central video feed. The first sub-view and a homography defining placement of augmented reality elements on the at least one frame of the central video feed are provided as output to a device configured to use the first sub-view and the homography display the first sub-view.

  • Publication number: 20240085513
    Abstract: A process to partition a video feed to segment live player activity includes receiving, on a first recurring basis, a transmission of a central video feed from a first camera. The central video feed is calibrated against a spatial region represented in at least two dimensions that is encompassed by the central video feed. The process includes receiving, on a second recurring basis, a respective time-stamped position information from each tracking device in a plurality of tracking devices. Each tracking device is worn by a corresponding subject on the spatial region and transmits positional information that describes a time-stamped position of the corresponding subject in the spatial region. The process uses the received information and the calibration to define a first sub-view of the central video feed associated with a first subject. The first sub-view comprises a corresponding sub-frame associated with the first subject.

  • Patent number: 11918912
    Abstract: A process to track and provide positional information for display on a remote device includes receiving, on a first recurring basis, time-stamped position information of participant(s) in a competition. The time-stamped position information is captured by a telemetry tracking system during the competition and describes a time-stamped position of each of one or more corresponding participants in a predetermined spatial region. The process includes communicating at least a subset of time-stamped position information to the remote device on a second recurring basis. The remote device uses the time-stamped position information to overlay a representation of one or more of said participants onto a first virtual reproduction of at least a relevant portion of the predetermined spatial region to produce and display an instance of a compiled virtual scene that shows a respective position of each of the participant(s) on the first virtual reproduction of the predetermined spatial region.

  • Patent number: 11191363
    Abstract: A dual-use support cushion includes a seat cushion side and a back cushion side, with the seat cushion side configured to provide seat support and the back cushion side configured to provide back support. The dual-use pillow is an all-in-one design that allows the owner to choose between using the dual-use support cushion as back support or as a seat support and the owner can manually flip the cushion depending on what side is more appropriate for the user at any given moment. The dual-use support cushion provides, in a single item, the option of sitting on the cushion, and the option for using the same cushion, after relocation of the cushion, for back support.

  • Publication number: 20210217516
    Abstract: A patient treatment system includes a method that is used to actively monitor and treat a patient based on response data received from the patient as a result of a plurality of micro-treatments, and the system performs an N-of-1 statistical analysis of the response data. The data is automatically collected and obtained from the patient by virtue of the patient wearing a wearable device. The system generates a graphical user interface that includes an effectiveness display of a response level to each micro-treatment, a trendline representing a trend of the data for each micro-treatment; data scores for each micro-treatment, a confidence display of a statistical confidence associated with each data score; graphical elements representing the statistical confidence associated with each data score.

  • Patent number: 8488517
    Abstract: There is provided a digital repeater module and method for relaying digital data. The digital repeater module comprises a data reception unit configured to receive digital data from several broadcast devices concurrently, a data transmission unit configured to transmit digital data using a multiple transmission protocols concurrently, and a routing application. The routing application can receive digital data through the data reception unit, identify available data paths for relaying the digital data to desired destinations, and determine transmission metrics for each of the available data paths for relaying the digital data to the desired destinations. The routing application can also select data paths for transmission based on the determined transmission metrics, and transmit the digital data using the selected data paths through the data transmission unit. There is also provided a method for resolving assignment of limited broadcast frequencies using the digital repeater module.
