Abstract
An intelligent sensor assisted system that dynamically adapts to the video streaming needs of a network or sub networks of users in order to facilitate collaboration. This automated audio/video distribution system includes an RFID sensor system that allows the system to intelligently activate the cameras/audio devices located at a zone according to user's needs. The system detects an RFID tag that is associated with a user. The system identifies a group ID of the RFID tag. The system identifies all users in the cyberspace that belong to the group. The system activates the streaming of audio/video to capture the user's activities at the zone. The system then transmits the audio/video feed to remote users in the cyberspace who share the same Group ID.
Claims20
A system for transmitting audio/video data captured by an audio/video capture device over a network to a remote user by a computing device, the system comprising:
- an identifier device that identifies at least one user;
- a device ID associated with the identifier device, the remote user associated with the device ID;
- a first sensor detecting the identifier device (the detected identifier device) and the device ID associated with the detected identifier device, the sensor activating the audio/video capture device to capture the audio/video data after the first sensor detects the detected identifier device;
- and
- the computing device transmitting the audio/video data to the remote user associated with the device ID of the detected identifier device.
A system for transmitting audio/video data over a network to a remote user by a computing device, the system comprising:
- an identifier tag that identifies at least one user;
- a tag ID associated with the identifier tag, the remote user associated with the tag ID;
- a first zone identifying an area for which audio/video data is to be captured;
- a first tag detector detecting the identifier tag (the detected identifier tag) and the tag ID associated with the detected identifier tag, the first tag detector associated with the first zone;
- a first audio/video capture device capable of capturing audio or video occurring at the first zone wherein detection of the tag detector by the first tag detector activates the first audio/video capture device to capture the audio/video data occurring at the first zone;
- a second zone identifying an area for which audio/video data is to be captured;
- a second tag detector detecting the identifier tag (the detected identifier tag) and the tag ID associated with the detected identifier tag, the second tag detector associated with the second zone;
- a second audio/video capture device capable of capturing audio or video occurring at the second zone wherein detection of the tag detector by the second tag identifier activates the second audio/video capture device to capture the audio/video data occurring at the second zone;
- and
- the computing device transmitting the audio/video data of the zone in which the identifier tag is detected to the remote user associated with the tag ID of the detected identifier tag.
A system for transmitting audio/video data over a network to a first remote user and a second remote user by a computing device, the system comprising:
- a first identifier tag that identifies at least one user;
- a second identifier tag that identifies at least one user;
- a first tag ID associated with the first identifier tag, the first remote user associated with the first tag ID;
- a second tag ID associated with the second identifier tag, the second remote user associated with the second tag ID;
- a first zone identifying an area for which audio/video data is to be captured;
- a first tag detector detecting the identifier tag (the detected identifier tag) and the tag ID associated with the detected identifier tag, the first tag detector associated with the first zone;
- a first audio/video capture device capable of capturing audio or video occurring at the first zone wherein detection of the tag detector by the first tag detector activates the first audio/video capture device to capture the audio/video data occurring at the first zone;
- a second zone identifying an area for which audio/video data is to be captured;
- a second tag detector detecting the identifier tag (the detected identifier tag) and the tag ID associated with the detected identifier tag, the second tag detector associated with the second zone;
- a second audio/video capture device capable of capturing audio or video occurring at the second zone wherein detection of the tag detector by the second tag identifier activates the second audio/video capture device to capture the audio/video data occurring at the second zone;
- and
- the computing device transmitting the audio/video data of the zone in which the detected identifier tag is detected to the remote user associated with the tag ID of the detected identifier tag.
