Camera-based device and method of augmenting data displayed on a display device using the camera-based device

A camera-based device for augmenting data that is displayed on a display device, the camera-based device comprising:

• a communication interface configured to establish communication between the camera-based device and the display device;
• a memory for storing instructions;
• and
• a processor that accesses the stored instructions,
• wherein the processor, in response to the accessing the stored instructions, is configured to
• establish a network setting to enable communication between the camera-based device and the display device;
• perform calibration in order to capture an initial boundary in the display device;
• capture data that is displayed on the display device;
• associate the captured data with additional data, and
• display the additional data on the display device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program, which when executed by a processor of a computer, causes the computer to use a camera-based device to perform a method of augmenting data that is displayed on a display device, the method comprising:

• configuring a network setting of the camera-based device to enable communication between the camera-based device and the display device;
• performing calibration to capture an initial boundary in the display device;
• capturing data that is displayed on the display device;
• associating the captured data with additional data;
• and
• displaying the additional data on the display device.

A camera-based device for augmenting data that is displayed on a display device, the camera-based device comprising:

• a communication interface configured to establish communication between the camera-based device and the display device;
• and
• a processor configured to access stored instructions and establish a network setting to enable communication between the camera-based device and the display device,
• wherein the processor is configured to perform calibration in order to capture an initial boundary in the display device;
• capture data that is displayed on the display device and associate the captured data with additional data, and
• wherein the processor is configured to calculate a gesture boundary that corresponds to a gesture associated with the camera-based device, according to the initial boundary, in response to accessing the stored instructions.
