Key Characteristics & Benefits
This patent lot discloses the following:
-- A system for combining positional data and video. With this invention,
positional data from navigation systems and other auxiliary sources can
be incorporated into video signals and subsequently displayed on a video
camera.
-- The technology links positional data with video signals in a single
video recording.
-- To achieve this level of synchronization, the system uses a mobile
object associated with both the video camera and positional data
receiver.
-- Information about the location of the mobile object (e.g., vehicles,
video cameras, handheld devices, trains, tanks, watercrafts, airplanes,
etc.) is sent from satellites to the positional data device.
-- The video camera creates a video signal, which it sends to an encoder.
Auxiliary sources can be used in the same way, obtaining data about the
mobile object and sending it to the encoder.
-- The encoder codes the data in the video signal, which is stored on the
video camera.
-- The decoder receives all the data from the video signal and the system
displays the data from the positional data receiver (along with the
auxiliary source if it is used) in the form of a video, which can be
stored and played back.
Market Potential
This lot should be of interest to manufacturers of cameras, mobile phones, navigation systems, and other entities looking to incorporate this technology into their products.
-- By 2014, the number of mobile handsets with GPS receivers will reach 960
million.(1) Worldwide, the mobile location technologies market is
expected to reach $70 billion by 2013.
-- Moreover, the global market for services specifically related to GPS
should see a significant increase in revenues as well, reaching $10
billion by 2013.(2)
-- An enormous variety of consumer electronic industries can benefit from
this invention. Analysts have seen tremendous growth in the market for
GPS-related products, as both personal and commercial users are
demanding more accurate navigation and timing capabilities in devices.
GPS receivers are now standard features in cars, phones, workout
watches, and other handheld devices.
-- Industries involving complex logistical operations rely on GPS systems
as well. For example, real-time knowledge of positional data is crucial
for the operations in agriculture, commercial airlines, federal
agencies, and emergency responders.(3)
