Abstract
A video player (100) including at least one sensor (112) for sensing coded data (202) on or in a substrate and for generating first data, a transmitter (188) for transmitting said first data or second data at least partially based on the first data to a computer system and a receiver (188) for receiving video data associated with an identity derived from the first data from the computer system and at least one display device (102) for outputting a visual display based at least partially on the video data.
Claims18
A video player including:
- a body;
- at least one sensor positioned in the body so that coded data printed on a substrate is sensed by positioning the video player body relative to the substrate, the sensor generating first data from the sensed coded data;
- a transmitter positioned in the body for transmitting, to a computer system, said first data or second data at least partially based on the first data;
- a receiver positioned in the body for receiving, from the computer system, video data associated with an identity derived from the first data;
- and
- at least one display device positioned in the body for outputting a visual display based at least partially on the video data.
3 more elements
A method of obtaining video data, the method including:
- providing a plurality of separately identifiable video data;
- associating each of the plurality of separately identifiable video data with one or more identities;
- providing at least one paper-like substrate having at least one selection data printed thereon, the at least one selection data associated with or encoding at least one identity;
- selecting at least one of the at least one selection data of the at least one paper-like substrate with a selection device locate in a video player body, the selection device being located in the video player body so as to perform said selecting by positioning the video player body relative to the paper-like substrate;
- determining the identity or identities associated with the selected selection data and identifying the file or files associated with the identity or identities determined from the selection data;
- and
- downloading the video data identified to the selection device to the video player.
