Method of playing video using handheld display device
First Claim
1. A method of playing video 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 display device on part of a printed substate, said printed substrate containing a printed content associated with a videoimaging an area of the printed substrate and generating image data using the image 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 and video data associated with said printed content;
receiving said display data and said video data from the computer system;
displaying, on said opaque touch-sensitive screen, display information matching and aligning with said printed content underlying said screen such that the opaque screen has real-time virtual transparency through the 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;
displaying, on said opaque touch-sensitive screen, playback controls icons for controlling playback of said video; and
playing, on said opaque touch-sensitive screen, said video based on said video data when said user interacts with one of said playback control icons.

Abstract
A method of playing video 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; and playing, on the touch-sensitive screen, the video based on the retrieved video data.
