Abstract
A viewing device may be utilized to facilitate viewing of a scene or event. The viewing device may continuously record a sequence of frames of predetermined duration. At periodic intervals, the sequence of frames overwrite previously stored sequence of frames. When the user wishes to watch a replay of a previous sequence of frames of predetermined duration, the user can continue looking through the device to see a stored sequence of frames rather than a real time display of an ongoing event.
Claims23
A device comprising:
- an optics element to facilitate viewing;
- an image sensor to capture frames;
- a storage to store a sequence of frames of predetermined duration, said storage coupled to said sensor;
- a display coupled to said storage to display the sequence of frames;
- and
- a controller to automatically store successive sequences of frames of predetermined duration including an earlier and later sequence, said controller to store a later sequence of frames in said storage, automatically overwriting an earlier sequence of frames.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- recording a sequence of frames of predetermined duration;
- overwriting said recorded sequence of frames with an ensuing sequence of frames of substantially the same duration;
- and
- in response to user selection, enabling the user to view a recorded sequence of frames.
1 more element
An article comprising a medium storing instructions that enable a processor-based system to:
- record a sequence of frames of predetermined duration;
- overwrite said recorded sequence of frames with an ensuing sequence of frames of substantially the same duration;
- and
- in response to user selection, enable the user to view a recorded sequence of frames.
