Patent Images
1. A method for navigating multisource video executed by a user terminal, comprising:
- receiving a sequence of images, each image of said sequence of images comprising a plurality of image portions, the plurality of image portions comprising image data originating from synchronized images of a plurality of respective video streams, each respective video stream of the plurality of respective video streams originating from a corresponding source,receiving a choice parameter value originating from a user interface, the value corresponding to at least one respective video stream of the plurality of respective video streams, andcommanding the display ofat least one image portion of the plurality of image portions, corresponding to the received choice parameter value, for each image of a plurality of images of the sequence of images and ofan additional image portion comprising a plurality of image data sets, each image data set originating from a respective video stream of the plurality of video streams, wherein the image data of the additional image portion correspond to a time of the image data of the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value, andwherein the display of at least one of the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value and the additional image portion is performed with the following, 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 repeatedly for subsequent images of the received sequence, so as to create the illusion of a video display of said at least one of the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value and the additional image portion.

Abstract
A method of multi-source video navigation, comprising: receiving an image sequence, each image of said sequence comprising a plurality of image parts, 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 a selection parameter value arising from a user interface, said value corresponding to one at least of said video streams, and instructing 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.

11. A method for navigating multisource video, comprising:
-
receiving by a user terminal a sequence of images, each image of said sequence of images comprising a plurality of image portions, the plurality of image portions comprising image data originating from synchronized images of a plurality of respective video streams, each respective video stream originating from a corresponding source, receiving by the user terminal a choice parameter value originating from a user interface, the value corresponding to one at least of respective video streams of the plurality of video streams, and commanding the display on the user terminal of at least one image portion of the plurality of image portions, that corresponds to the received choice parameter value, commanding the display on the user terminal of an additional image portion comprising a plurality of image data sets, each image data set originating from a respective video stream of the plurality of video streams, and being synchronized with the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value that is being displayed, wherein the 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, by performing, for at least one of the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value and the additional image portion, repeated captures from the sequence of images and image displays of a stationary image originating from the captured data, at a rate high enough to give the illusion of a video display of said at least one of the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value and the additional image portion. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A device for navigating multisource video, comprising at least one processing unit operating in conjunction with a memory to:
-
receive 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, receive a choice parameter value originating from a user interface, said value corresponding to one at least of said video streams, and display the at least one image portion, from the image portions of said plurality of image portions, corresponding to the received value of the choice parameter, and an additional image portion comprising a plurality of image data sets, each image data set originating from a respective video stream, wherein the image data of the additional image portion correspond to a time of the image data of the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value, wherein the device commands the display of at least one of the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value and the additional image portion by commanding capturing at least one image portion of a current image of the sequence of images, and commanding image display of a stationary image originating from the captured at least one image portion, and repeatedly and continuously updating, while and as long as the display occurs, the displayed stationary image with stationary images originating from captured portions of subsequent images of the received sequence at a refreshment rate high enough to create the illusion of a video display.

15. A device for navigating multisource video, comprising at least one processing unit operating in conjunction with a memory to:
-
receive 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, receive a choice parameter value originating from a user interface, said value corresponding to one at least of said video streams, and display at least one image portion, from the image portions of said plurality of image portions, corresponding to the received choice parameter value, and display an additional image portion comprising a plurality of image data sets, each image data set originating from a respective video stream, wherein the additional image portion corresponds, from the user perception, to a same time as the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value, the device is arranged, so as to, command the display of at least one of the at least one image portion corresponding to the received choice parameter value and the additional image portion by capturing an image portion of a current image of the received sequence of images, commanding image display of a stationary image originating from the captured at least one image portion, and regularly reiterating the capturing and stationary image display for subsequent images of the received sequence so as to create the illusion of a video display.
