Automated dynamic video capturing
First Claim
1. A system comprisinga) a video capturing unit for capturing video data;
- b) a location sensing mechanism for sensing locations of a target within a space; and
c) a mechanism for automatically selecting a field of view of the video capturing unit to correspond to the locations of the target as the subject moves through the locations in the space while the video capturing unit is capturing the video data.

Abstract
A video system is disclosed that include a video robot. The video robot includes a video capturing device and a location sensing mechanism for sensing locations of a target within a space. The robot also include a mechanism for automatically selecting a field of view of the video capturing device to correspond to the locations of the subject as the subject moves through the locations in the space. In the method of the invention, locations of the target are monitored with a video capturing unit using location signals transmitted from a sensor on or near the target. Based on the locations of the target, the field of view of the video capturing unit to automatically adjusted to correspond to the locations of the subject as the subject moves through the space while the video unit simultaneously captures video data and displays representations of the video data on a screen.
