Method of playing and controlling video using handheld display device
First Claim
1. A method of controlling video playback using a handheld display device having an image sensor, a transceiver and an opaque touch-sensitive screen, said method comprising the steps of:
- overlaying said screen on part of a printed substrate containing printed content associated with a video;
imaging an area of the printed substrate and generating image data using an optical sensor;
determining interaction data using said image data, said interaction data identifying a page description corresponding to the printed substrate;
sending the interaction data to a computer system, thereby causing the computer system to identify the page description and retrieve display data corresponding to the printed content and video data associated with said printed content;
receiving the display data and video data from the computer system;
displaying, on said opaque screen, display information corresponding to said printed content underlying said screen together with at least one static element for controlling video playback, such that the opaque screen has real-time virtual transparency through the opaque screen to the printed content underlying said screen from a user'"'"'s perspective to provide a virtual window to the printed content underlying said screen; and
controlling video playback by interacting with said at least one static element via said touch-sensitive screen.

Abstract
A method of controlling video playback using a handheld display device having a touch-sensitive screen and a transceiver for sending and receiving digital information. The method comprises the steps of: imaging an area of a printed substrate and generating image data using an optical sensor, the printed substrate containing printed content associated with a video; determining interaction data using the image data, the interaction data identifying a substrate identity; retrieving video data associated with the printed content; displaying, on the touch-sensitive screen, the video or display information identifying the video together with a static element for controlling video playback; and controlling video playback by interacting with the static element via the touch-sensitive screen.
