Interactive binocular video display
First Claim
1. A mobile computing device to provide a virtual binocular display, the mobile computing device comprising:
- a wireless networking transceiver to receive a selected stream of video data from a video streaming server via a wireless network;
a processor to process video content from the stream of the video data, wherein the selected stream of video data is selected based on a location of the mobile computing device in a viewing area located in proximity to a scene captured in the video data;
a display processor to output a select enhanced portion of the video content on a display screen of the mobile computing device, the select enhanced portion determined based on an orientation of the mobile computing device relative to the scene captured in the video data; and
a camera to capture a digital image of the scene;
wherein operations performed by the processor to process the video content from the stream of the video data include operations to;
perform image recognition of at least one object in the digital image of the scene; and
identify the select enhanced portion of the video content based on a location of the at least one object in the select enhanced portion of the high-definition video.

Abstract
Various systems and methods for providing a repositionable video display on a mobile device, to emulate the effect of user-controlled binoculars, are described herein. In one example, one or more high resolution video sources (such as UltraHD video cameras) obtain video that is wirelessly broadcasted to mobile devices. The mobile device processes the broadcast based on the approximate location of the spectator'"'"'s mobile device, relative to a scene within the field of view of the mobile device. The location of the mobile device may be derived from a combination of network monitoring, camera inputs, object recognition, and the like. Accordingly, the spectator can obtain a virtual magnification of a scene from an external video source displayed on the spectator'"'"'s mobile device.

8. A method of displaying streaming video at a mobile device, the method comprising operations executing with hardware components at the mobile device, the operations including:
-
capturing, with the mobile device, a digital image of a scene; performing an image recognition of at least one object in the digital image of the scene; accessing a selected high-definition video stream at the mobile device, the high-definition video stream providing high-definition video of the scene captured in a direction of view away from the mobile device and towards an area of interest of the scene; determining an orientation of the mobile device relative to the area of interest, based on the at least one object; selecting a particular zoomed portion of the high-definition video based on determining the orientation of the mobile device relative to the area of interest, the particular zoomed portion of the high-definition video providing a reduced area within the high-definition video; and displaying the particular zoomed portion of the high-definition video of the scene on the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. At least one machine-readable storage medium including instructions for outputting a video display on a mobile computing device, comprising instructions, that when executed, cause the mobile computing device to:
-
establish a connection with a wireless network; capture a digital image of an area of interest from a perspective of a first side of the mobile computing device, using a camera located on the first side of the mobile computing device; perform an image recognition of at least one object in the digital image; process a high-definition video stream of the area of interest, the high-definition video stream received via the connection with the wireless network; determine a perspective of the mobile computing device relative to an orientation of a video scene provided in the high-definition video stream based upon a correlation of the at least one object in the digital image with a representation of the at least one object in the high-definition video stream; select a portion of the video scene of the high-definition video stream based upon the determined perspective of the mobile computing device; and output digital video on a display screen located on a second side of the mobile computing device, wherein the second side is opposite of the first side, wherein the output of the digital video includes the portion of the video scene of the high-definition video stream, and wherein the portion of the video scene of the high-definition video stream is zoomed and panned to resemble the perspective of the mobile computing device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
