MULTIPLE MEANS OF FRAMING A SUBJECT
First Claim
1. A system for tracking a cinematography target, the system using multiple components to identify and track the target, the system comprising:
- an emitter configured to attach to a target and to emit a tracking signal, the emitter comprising;
an output module configured to emit the tracking signal, wherein the tracking signal comprises one or more identifiable signals;
a tracker configured to receive the tracking signal from the emitter and to track the emitter based upon the received tracking signal, the tracker comprising;
a receiver module configured to receive the tracking signal and to identify the one or more identifiable signals,a control module configured to identify a location of the target and to position an audiovisual device to align with a target, anda script execution processor configured to execute a user selected script, wherein the user selected script is selected from a set of respectively unique scripts and the user selected script determines one or more control module movements specific to tracking the emitter; and
a user interface device configured to receive commands from a user and communicate the commands to the tracker.

Abstract
A system for tracking a cinematography target can comprise an emitter configured to attach to a target and to emit a tracking signal. A tracker can be configured to receive the tracking signal from the emitter and to track the emitter based upon the received tracking signal. The tracker can comprise a control module configured to identify a location of the target and to position an audiovisual device to align with a target. Additionally, the tracker can comprise a script execution processor configured to execute a user selected script. The user selected script may be selected from a set of respectively unique scripts. The user selected script can determine one or more control module movements specific to tracking the emitter.

11. A computer-implemented method at a tracking device for tracking a cinematography target that has been associated with an emitter, the method comprising:
-
receiving at the tracking device an indication to track a particular identifier, wherein the particular identifier is associated with the cinematography target; identifying, using at least one tracker component, at least a direction associated with an origination point of an occurrence of the particular identifier; executing a user selected script, wherein; the user selected script is selected from a set of respectively unique scripts, and the user selected script determines one or more tracking movement attributes specific to tracking the emitter calculating, based upon the user selected script and the indication of at least a direction associated with an origination point of an occurrence of the particular tracking signal, a motor actuation sequence necessary to actuate a control component to track the object of interest in accordance with the user selected script; and actuating at least one motor to track the object of interest in accordance with the calculated motor actuation sequence. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product for use at a computer system, the computer program product comprising one or more computer storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed at a processor, cause the computer system to perform a method for tracking a cinematography target that has been associated with an emitter, the method comprising:
-
receiving at the tracking device an indication to track a particular identifier, wherein the particular identifier is associated with the cinematography target; identifying, using at least one tracker component, at least a direction associated with an origination point of an occurrence of the particular identifier; executing a user selected script, wherein; the user selected script is selected from a set of respectively unique scripts, and the user selected script determines one or more tracking movement attributes specific to tracking the emitter calculating, based upon the user selected script and the indication of at least a direction associated with an origination point of an occurrence of the particular tracking signal, a motor actuation sequence necessary to actuate a control component to track the object of interest in accordance with the user selected script; and actuating at least one motor to track the object of interest in accordance with the calculated motor actuation sequence.
