Remote POV Video Control via Server Intermediary
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices that record video for streaming or storage often require users to travel to a location, incurring expenses and reducing productivity, as they cannot remotely control or interact with the recording device in real-time.
Innovation Solution
An interactive point-of-view video service that allows users to select and control electronic devices equipped with POV streaming capabilities from a remote location, enabling live streaming and two-way audio communication, allowing users to experience events as if they were present and control streamers' actions through voice commands or digital cues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users travel to a location to participate in events, then they can experience events firsthand, but travel costs increase and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical event environment through POV video streaming. Users can remotely participate in events by viewing real-time video feeds from the event location, eliminating the need for physical travel while maintaining event participation quality. The system captures and transmits the streamer's point-of-view video, allowing remote users to experience the event as if they were present.
2Ease of operation
If electronic devices record video for later viewing, then video can be stored and watched at convenience, but real-time interaction and control are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous real-time video streaming instead of discrete recording and later playback. The POV video is captured and transmitted continuously, allowing users to interact with and control the streamer in real-time during the event. This eliminates the time delay between recording and viewing while maintaining the convenience of remote access.
3Productivity
If users remotely control electronic devices in real-time, then productivity increases and travel costs decrease, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that manages the complex interactions between multiple users and the streamer's electronic device. The server handles video streaming, user authentication, and control signal transmission, simplifying the overall system architecture. Users interact with the server through standardized interfaces, and the server translates these into appropriate control commands for the streamer's device, reducing the complexity burden on individual user devices.

AI summary
A system, an apparatus and a method for an interactive point-of-view video service are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method includes selecting, from a remote location, an electronic device to capture a point-of-view (POV) video of an event and controlling, from the remote location, the electronic device as the electronic device captures the POV video.
