Patent Images
1. A handheld video-playing device embedded in a mobile telephone, said device comprising:
- a body;
at least one image sensor positioned in the body for imaging an area of a printed substrate and generating image data;
at least one display device positioned in the body for outputting video data;
a processor coupled to the sensor, said processor being configured for;
monitoring an identity of the substrate and a position of the device relative to the substrate using the image data;
retrieving the video data based on the position of the device relative to the substrate; and
rendering video output to the display screen, said video output being at least partially based on the retrieved video data; and
a memory coupled to the processor, said memory being configured for storing the video data.

Abstract
A video player is provided. The video player comprises a body; a sensor positioned in the body for sensing coded data printed on a substrate when the video player body is operatively positioned relative to the substrate; a processor coupled to the sensor for determining an identity from the sensed coded data; a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing video data associated with the identity derived from the sensed coded data; and a display device positioned in the body for outputting a visual display based on the video data.
