Abstract
A method of multi-source video navigation, comprising: receiving (402) an image sequence, each image of said sequence comprising a plurality of image parts (121, 122, 123, 24, 125, 126), the image parts of said plurality comprising image data arising from synchronized images of respective video streams, each video stream arising from a corresponding source, receiving (414) a selection parameter value (video_ch) arising from a user interface, said value corresponding to one at least of said video streams, and instructing (408) the displaying of the at least one image part, from among the image parts of this plurality, corresponding to the value of the selection parameter received.

A method for navigating multisource video, comprising:
- receiving a sequence of images, each image of said sequence comprising a plurality of image portions, the image portions of said plurality comprising image data originating from synchronized images of respective video streams, each video stream originating from a corresponding source,
- receiving a choice parameter value originating from a user interface, said value corresponding to one at least of said video streams, and
- commanding the display of the at least one image portion, from the image portions of said plurality, corresponding to the received value of the choice parameter,
- wherein the method further comprises, for at least one received image,
- commanding the display of an additional image portion comprising a plurality of image data sets, each image data set originating from a respective video stream,
- and wherein the method further comprises, for at least one current image:
- (a) a step of capturing at least one image portion of said current image,
- (b) a step of commanding image display of an image originating from said at least one captured image portion,
- and wherein steps (a) and (b) are reiterated for at least one other image of the received sequence, so as to create the illusion of a video display.
A method for navigating multisource video, comprising:
- receiving a sequence of images, each image of said sequence comprising a plurality of image portions, the image portions of said plurality comprising image data originating from synchronized images of respective video streams, each video stream originating from a corresponding source,
- receiving a choice parameter value originating from a user interface, said value corresponding to one at least of said video streams, and
- commanding the display of the at least one image portion, from the image portions of said plurality, corresponding to the received value of the choice parameter,
- wherein
- the method further comprises, for at least one received image, commanding the display of an additional image portion comprising a plurality of image data sets, each image data set originating from a respective video stream, and
- display of the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value and of the additional image portion is commanded by means of a single media player.
A method for navigating multisource video, comprising:
- receiving a sequence of images, each image of said sequence comprising a plurality of image portions, the image portions of said plurality comprising image data originating from synchronized images of respective video streams, each video stream originating from a corresponding source,
- receiving a choice parameter value originating from a user interface, said value corresponding to one at least of said video streams, and
- commanding the display of the at least one image portion, from the image portions of said plurality, corresponding to the received value of the choice parameter,
- wherein the method further comprises, for at least one received image:
- (a) a step of capturing at least one image portion of said current image,
- (b) a step of commanding image display of an image originating from said at least one captured image portion,
- and wherein steps (a) and (b) are reiterated for at least one other image of the received sequence, so as to create the illusion of a video display.
A device for navigating multisource video, comprising:
- first receiving means for receiving a sequence of images, each image of said sequence comprising a plurality of image portions, the image portions of said plurality comprising image data originating from synchronized images of respective video streams, each video stream originating from a corresponding source,
- second receiving means for receiving a choice parameter value originating from a user interface, said value corresponding to one at least of said video streams, and
- means for displaying the at least one image portion, from the image portions of said plurality, corresponding to the received value of the choice parameter,
- wherein the device is arranged, so as to, for at least one received image, command the display of an additional image portion comprising a plurality of image data sets, each image data set originating from a respective video stream, and so as to, for at least one current image, capture at least one image portion of said current image, and command image display of an image originating from said at least one captured image portion, the capturing and the image display commanding being reiterated for at least one other image of the received sequence, so as to create the illusion of a video display.
A device for navigating multisource video, comprising:
- first receiving means for receiving a sequence of images, each image of said sequence comprising a plurality of image portions, the image portions of said plurality comprising image data originating from synchronized images of respective video streams, each video stream originating from a corresponding source,
- second receiving means for receiving a choice parameter value originating from a user interface, said value corresponding to one at least of said video streams, and
- means for displaying the at least one image portion, from the image portions of said plurality, corresponding to the received value of the choice parameter,
- wherein
- the device is arranged, so as to, command the display of an additional image portion comprising a plurality of image data sets, each image data set originating from a respective video stream, and
- display of the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value and of the additional image portion is commanded by means of a single media player.
