Camera driven virtual workspace management
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method in a workspace management system comprising:
- capturing an input video stream comprising images of a surrounding environment limited by a field of view of a digital camera using the digital camera;
processing the input video stream at a handheld computer coupled to the camera; and
redefining parameters that define a partial view of a virtual workspace based upon motion analysis of the input video stream performed by the handheld computer during the processing.

Abstract
Camera driven virtual workspace management is disclosed. A digital camera captures an input video stream comprising images of a surrounding environment limited by a field of view of the camera. The input video stream is processed by a handheld computer coupled to the camera. Parameters that define a partial view of a virtual workspace are redefined based upon motion analysis of the input video stream performed by the handheld computer during the processing.

21. A system comprising:
-
a partial workspace view rendering device comprising a digital camera to capture an input video stream comprising images of a surrounding environment limited by a field of view of the digital camera and a handheld computer coupled to the digital camera;
a server communicatively coupled to the partial workspace rendering device; and
a client computer communicatively coupled to the server, wherein operations of processing the input video stream, performing motion analysis of the input video stream and a redefining parameters that define a partial view of a virtual workspace based upon the motion analysis of the input video stream are distributed between the partial workspace view rendering device, the server, and the client computer. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
