- the exemplary embodiment of the apparatus for making the personal video is illustrated in Fig. 1, and is designated generally by reference numeral 9.
- the term video is used throughout this document, for convenience of expression; however, such term is also intended to include accompanying audio.
- System 9 of the present invention includes a registration subsystem 10 for inputting information relating to subscribers, weather selector 1 1 for inputting weather conditions, a master controller 20, a video collection subsystem 30, a storage subsystem 40, which includes a tag data storage unit 50, a personal video storage unit 60, and an environ storage unit 70.
- a text generator 80, an assembly and processing subsystem 90, and personal copy production apparatus 100 complete the system.
- Registration subsystem 10 includes well known components that activate subscriber, tags 130 (see Fig. 2) and associate the tag with the particular subscriber, and the date and times the tag is valid.
- the registration subsystem provides the system with special information, such as the content for a custom title and text, specific environ segments, and the inclusion of a custom credit section to complete the video.
- the environ video segments may include, for each weather condition, the arrival (or departure) of an airplane of a selected airline at a local airport, the parking lot of the amusement park, the hotel at which the users are staying, general views of the various attractions, typical travelogue type scenes or the general area, and anything else that would add interest and professionalism to a personal video.
- the registration subsystem 10 may also include billing information for the subscriber.
- Master controller 20 controls the behavior or the system 9 by appropriate hardware and software from registration through assembly and processing. It receives data from the registration subsystem 10 over line 12 and transmits and receives over line 25 tag or card data relating to the identity of the subscribers, the desired text over line 24, and any other special request which the system 9 is capable of implementing. Also, the controller 20 transmits data over line 22 to the video collection subsystem 30 to enable the collection of video in the proper time slots, and storing of the personal video segments. Any person video segments are deleted over lines 26 and 44. Additionally, the master controller transmits data over line 24 to text generator 80 for insertion of customized test in the video; and transmit data over line 26 to the assembly and processing unit 90 relating to the identity of the environ segments to be included in a particular video.
- Video collection subsystem 30 includes a plurality or video cameras 1 10, subscriber detectors 120 for detecting tags 130, and a collection network 140.
- the video cameras 1 10 are located throughout the amusement park at strategic locations. Some of the cameras may be stationary and oriented to photograph a defined area. Other cameras may be mounted to follow a certain path when triggered. For example, a video camera may be positioned to focus on a roller coaster as it approaches the camera or it may follow the roller coaster during one or more descents. There may be a camera mounted above each ferris wheel passenger compartment, a midget auto racetrack location, and at strategic locations to photograph a myriad of other activities and attractions one would expect to find at a large amusement park. Each of these cameras would preferably be installed and oriented to provide a field of view that would be out of reach of an individual standing at floor or ground level and provide a segment that could not be obtained by an amateur cameraman without extensive equipment and props.
- each one of the cameras 1 10 may run continuously over the network 140 with the central storage system 40 being triggered by the tag 130 and detector 120 to capture 1 the video delivered over the collection network 140.
- Subscriber detectors 120 may be of any well known type, such as the type used to validate credit cards, or dispense money, or gasoline, for example. Where a card or tag 130 with a magnetic stripe is swiped or inserted and removed as a subscriber gets on a ride or enters an attraction. This data then logically links the subscriber and the particular attraction or car together. As the car passes certain points in a cameras view, the car identity triggers the video collection which is correlated with the identity of the subscriber in the tag data storage 50. Also, passive or active RF tags may be used of the type generally used for tracking livestock or warehouse inventory. With this approach the proximity of a tag 130 and detector 120 would trigger the video event.
- Collection network 140 is the infrastructure used to transmit the data and audio/video signals to the central data storage subsystem 40.
- This network may use any number of well known technologies including fiber optics, coaxial cable, copper wire, or wireless, for example.
- the central storage subsystem 40 which is the repository for the various segments of audio/video necessary to complete the production of the personal video for an individual subscriber, may be a computer with sufficient video data storage to store the individual personal video stoiage segments over line 42 when captured by the video cameras as
- the tag data storage unit 50 of the central storage unit 40 receives the data from an individual tag 130 and the corresponding detector 120 via the collection network 140
- the data from the tag data storage unit is accurately aligned with each associated segment of the personal video transmitted by the different cameras 1 10 at diverse locations
- the separately recorded environ segments which include high production value shots of attractions and various views, as previously described, are stored in the environs segment storage unit 70 and transmitted when ready for final assembly and processing by component 90
- Assembly and processing module or subsystem 30 receives audio/video signals from the personal video storage 60 over line 44, environs segment storage 70 over line 46, and text generator 80 over line 47 at times and in a sequence as controlled by data signals from the master controller 20 over line 26 Typically, a custom title, which was entered into the system by the registration subsystem 10, is created by text generator 80, after which the environ segment of arrival from the environ segment storage unit 70 is added Then, depending on the instructions from the master controller 20, as determined by the behavior of the subscriber in the park, the personal video segments from storage unit 60 are interleaved with environ segments from storage unit 70 and text from text generator 80 which is followed by personalized credits at the end thereof
- the assembled and processed segments are transmitted to a personal production subsystem 100 over line 48 from which the subscribers copy of the personal video is delivered
- the duplication subsystem is typically a bank of VCRs and disc recorders that are used to produce the deliverable copy
- Each of the VCRs of disc recorders receive audio/video signals from the storage units 60 and 70, and text generator 80 in the sequence as controlled by the master controller 20
- the above described system produces a recording medium 150, which may be a tape or disc, for example, which is configured to have a personal video with a plurality of personal video segments 152
- Each of the personal video segments are recorded by a different video camera positioned at diverse geographic locations to record a different field or view
- Each of the personal video segments 152 were recorded one at a time in response to an input by the subscriber Additionally, in all of these different fields of view the subscriber is engaged in an activity or observing an attraction related to the particular field of view
- the recording medium has a plurality of environ video segments 154 interleaved between selected ones of the
- a method of producing a personal video which includes personal segments having fields of view that include individual subscribers, fields or view that lack any of the subscribers and recorded separately from the personal segments, and fields of view that include text, first include entering and storing in the registration unit 10 personal data as indicated at block 200, such as the particular flight number for arrival and depanure, the hotel at which the subscriber is staying, the dates involved, the name of the park or parks, the names of the subscriber and members of his party, the time period during which such registration is active, for determining, for example environ sequences for insertion between the personal sequences, and text including a desired personal title and personal credits
- the subscriber may select environ segments to follow the title, and other default environ segments to be interleaved among the personal segments, or may select certain stock segments related to the attraction being recorded when activating a particular camera.
- the fee for producing the personal video can be charged to the subscriber's credit card at the time of registration if there is a minimum fee or single fixed price, or both at the time of registration, and when activating a particular camera if the fee is increased. In accordance with the number of personal sequences in the production.
- the information entered in the register is then sent to the master controller as indicated at block 202.
- the subscriber and his party may now enjoy the park and its attractions at 204.
- the subscriber wishes to ride the ferris wheel, for example, at step 206.
- he or she inserts the previously activated card in the associated subscriber detector 120, at step 208 and the video is captured.
- Activation of the ferris wheel may start the camera, or if the camera is continually running, trigger the storage unit 60 to captures the sequence along with the identification.
- the time for each personal segment expires, or upon the occurrence of an event such as the stopping of the ferris wheel, the camera or storage of the event ceases operation.
- the master controller checks the time of day at 212.
- the system is ready to capture on video the next attraction selected by the subscriber as indicated by line 214. The above operation may be repeated for as many attractions as the subscriber wishes. If the answer is Yes, the master controller checks to determine whether or not it is the end of the last day at step 216. If the answer is no, the subscriber may continue to capture the various attraction on video over line 28 as indicated. If the system detects that the time is the end of the last day or time which was stored in the system on arrival, the system produces the tape as indicated at block 220. After which, the customer can pick up the completed video of the visit as indicated at block 222. During operation of the camera the recording is stored in real time in the storage unit 60.
- the master controller in response to the indication that the time has expired at block 216, the master controller initiates the creation of the video at block 224.
- the master controller 10 evaluates the tag data at block 226 to identify the rides and attractions selected for video by the subscriber, and in what order, including the actual day and time the camera was active for the particular attraction
- the master controller evaluates the registration data to determine the identity of the flights and hotel entered during registration
- the personal titles and credits are created and stored
- the performance of steps 226, 228, and 230 do not necessarily occur in the sequence described
- One of the important features of the present invention is the plurality or separately recorded environ segments that conform to the weather at any particular day, and time of that day in order to match the weather conditions of each person video segment with its a associated environ segment
- the master controller uses the time information to match up a particular personal video segment with an environ segment to provide an authentic environ to the video For example, if it were raining hard in the morning,
- the product format is selected, that is, whether the final product is to be a VHS tape, eight mm or disc, for example, as shown at block 234
- a particular recorder which has the appropriate blank medium is selected at step 230
- the video/audio segments under control of the playhst is then streamed or downloaded to the selected recorder as shown at block 238
- a personalized label is affixed to the recorder at 240
- the recording is assembled and packaged for delivery to the subscriber prior to leaving the theme park In preparation for the production of the personalized video, and referring to
- the system operator selects viewpoints for cameras at each attraction as indicated at block 244, and positions the camera to select a detection zone at 246 These detection zones correspond to the fields of view for each of the personal video segments
- the system operator records a high production value video associated with each attraction related to the camera position as indicated by block 248 to provide the environ segments
- These segments are created for various weather conditions, such as sunny, cloudy, or wet days as previously described.
- the operator records generic scenes or the park or general area, as shown at block 250, to create general environ segments, which also are repeated for various weather conditions.
- the operator records generic video segments of local airports, aircraft, and hotels under various weather conditions to create environ video segments that preface and follow the subscribers visits to the various attractions, as indicated at block 252.
- Each of the environ segments are identified and classified according to weather conditions.
- the operator can enter in the master controller, each change of weather condition, and the time of such change, so that the proper environ segments will be associated with the appropriate personal video segments.
- the operator need only input to the master controller the time of each change of weather, which will result in an authentic personal video segments that have associated therewith environ segments displaying similar weather conditions.
