Cross-Augmentation System for Live Event Viewing Perspectives
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Spectators at live events, such as sporting events, often have limited perspectives due to their seating arrangements, which can result in fluctuating quality of viewing experiences as actions unfold at different locations within the event area.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilizes data captured by multiple client devices to enhance the display on one device by incorporating data from other devices, allowing for cross-augmentation and crowdsourcing of content, thereby providing a more comprehensive and dynamic viewing experience by combining videos, images, or audio from various perspectives.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If spectators view the event from their assigned seat perspective, then each spectator can view the event from their designated location, but the viewing quality fluctuates and is limited by seating arrangement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges video feeds from multiple client devices located at different seating positions to create a composite enhanced view. By combining perspectives from devices 110-120, the system provides a stable, comprehensive view that maintains consistent quality regardless of any single spectator's seating location.
Solution Approach 2:
The enhancement server 130 provides a universal service that works for any spectator at any seating location. The system adapts to different users and their respective device perspectives, providing customized enhanced views while maintaining consistent quality across all users through the multi-functional architecture.
2Loss of information
If multiple client devices capture data from different perspectives, then more comprehensive viewing content is available, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The enhancement server 130 acts as an intermediary that receives data from multiple client devices 110-120, processes and integrates the information, then delivers enhanced views back to users. This mediator architecture manages the complexity of handling multiple perspectives while presenting a simplified, unified interface to end users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates enhanced copies of event views by synthesizing data from multiple original client device perspectives. Rather than requiring users to manually access multiple devices, the enhancement server creates composite video copies that incorporate information from all participating devices, making comprehensive viewing content easily accessible.
Data Source
AI summary
A device, system, and method generates augmentations for an enhanced display. The method performed at an enhancement server includes receiving device data from a plurality of client devices associated with respective users attending an event at a venue, the client devices configured to capture data associated with the event in the venue. The method includes determining a first client device of the client devices in which an augmentation is to be shown based on the device data. The method includes determining a second client device of the client devices that captured second data corresponding to the augmentation. The method includes facilitating an exchange of the second data with the first client device, the second data being used to augment the first data by generating an enhanced data based on the first and second data for presentation to a first user associated with the first client device.
