Systems and Methods for Controlling Cameras at Live Events
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a plurality of cameras at a live event comprising:
- on a user device having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors;
obtaining a wireless transmission of a camera view of a live event from each camera of the plurality of video cameras at the live event;
displaying at least a subset of views from the plurality of cameras on the user device;
obtaining a user instruction directing movement of a first video camera of the plurality of cameras;
converting the user instruction into one or more actuator commands; and
wirelessly transmitting the one or more actuator commands to the first video camera for changing the camera view of the live event of the first video camera.

Abstract
Provided is a computer-implemented method in which cameras at a live event can be remotely controlled by a user device having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processor. The user device obtains a wireless transmission of a camera view of a live event from each of a plurality of video cameras at the live event. At least a subset of views from the plurality of cameras is displayed on the user device. The user device obtains instructions from the user directing movement of a first video camera of the plurality of video cameras. The user instructions are converted into one or more actuator commands and are wirelessly transmitted to the first video camera for changing the camera view of the live event of the first video camera.
