## Abstract

Disclosed is a remote location directing system. The remote location directing system includes a control console device that generates performance data performed in a performance hall and control data for controlling to-be-controlled devices at a remote location based on performance directing data, a data processing device that provides the performance data to spectators at the remote location and process the control data synchronized with the performance data together with the performance data, and to-be-controlled devices that are controlled to correspond to the performance data based on the control data corresponding to a current playback section of the performance data, wherein the control data is configured by mapping time code information to the control data to be synchronized with the performance data using the time code information, and the to-be-controlled devices are possessed by the spectators at the remote location.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A remote location directing system comprising:
a control console device configured to generate performance data performed in a performance hall and control data for controlling to-be-controlled devices at a remote location based on performance directing data;
a data processing device configured to provide the performance data to spectators at the remote location and process the control data synchronized with the performance data together with the performance data; and
to-be-controlled devices controlled to correspond to the performance data based on the control data corresponding to a current playback section of the performance data,
wherein the control data is configured by mapping time code information to the control data to be synchronized with the performance data using the time code information, and
wherein the to-be-controlled devices are possessed by the spectators at the remote location,
wherein
the control data is included in a partial region of a pixel of a video included in the performance data, the partial region of the pixel corresponds to a non-recognized region of the video, and the non-recognized region corresponds to an outer portion of a video area of the video when the video is played.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The remote location directing system of claim 1, wherein the data processing device includes
a performance data processing device configured to receive and process the performance data; and
a control data processing device configured to receive and process the control data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The remote location directing system of claim 2, wherein the control data processing device is configured to extract control data mapped to time code information corresponding to the current playback section of the performance data from the control data, and providing the control data to the to-be-controlled devices.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The remote location directing system of claim 1, wherein the control data is included in a partial region of an empty channel region among multi-channel track information of the performance data, the control data is included in a partial region of a frame, or the control data is included in the partial region of the pixel among multi-channel track information of the performance data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The remote location directing system of claim 1, wherein the control data synchronized with the performance data is broadcast from a server, and
wherein the to-be-controlled devices at the remote location are controlled to implement a performance directing effect in response to the performance data by a control signal including the control data broadcast from the server when the performance data is played.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The remote location directing system of claim 1, the control console device is configured to convert the performance data into streaming data and transmitting the streaming data to the data processing device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The remote location directing system of claim 1, wherein the performance data includes at least one of video, audio, image and text.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The remote location directing system of claim 1, wherein the performance data and the control data are provided using a physical storage medium.
