Abstract
A computer-readable medium storing computer executable instructions for: (1) receiving video footage taken by a handheld device; (2) identifying one or more indicia associated with a point of interest within the video footage; (3) using the one or more indicia to retrieve information associated with the point of interest; (4) displaying the information on a display screen associated with the handheld device as the video footage is being displayed on the display screen; and (5) recording a screen capture of the display screen as the display screen is displaying the video footage and information.
Claims20
A computer-readable medium storing computer executable instructions for:
- receiving video footage taken by a handheld device;
- determining a substantially current location of said handheld device;
- identifying a point of interest based at least in part on said substantially current location;
- retrieving information associated with said identified point of interest;
- displaying said information on a display screen associated with said handheld device as said video footage is being displayed on said display screen;
- and
- recording a screen capture of said display screen as said display screen is displaying said video footage and said information.
A computer-implemented method of recording video footage, information, and annotation data comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by a processor, video footage taken by a handheld device;
- identifying, by a processor, one or more characters within said video footage, said one or more characters being associated with a point of interest within said video footage;
- using, by a processor, one or more OCR techniques to determine said one or more characters;
- retrieving, by a processor, based at least in part on said one or more determined characters, information associated with said associated point of interest;
- displaying, by a processor, said information on a display screen associated with said handheld device as said video footage is being displayed on said display screen;
- receiving, by a processor, annotations of said video footage by a user of said handheld device;
- and
- recording, by a processor, a screen capture of said display screen as said display screen is displaying said video footage, said user's annotations of said video footage, and said information.
A computer-readable medium storing computer executable instructions for:
- identifying a particular object of interest;
- capturing information regarding said particular point of interest using a handheld computing device;
- while capturing said information regarding said particular point of interest, creating an annotated version of said captured information by annotating said captured information with live data regarding said particular point of interest;
- and
- creating a recording of said annotated version of said captured information.
