SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DATA SYNCHRONIZATION RELATED TO TRANSMISSION OF VIDEO OVER A NETWORK

摘要

A computer system according to some embodiments is operable to facilitate synchronization between two or more data streams transmitted over an electronic network from a first computing system to a second computing system by inserting a visual code (e.g., a bar code) comprising encoded second data into a video data stream in order to allow the receiving computing system to synchronize scenes depicted by the video data with information represented in the visual code when displaying the scenes to a user.

主权项

1. A computer system for facilitating the synchronizing of video and related data being transmitted from a first computer system to a second computer system, the computer system comprising:
a memory storing a program comprising a data generation module, an encoding module and a video merge module, and a processor that is operable with the at least one program to: acquire video data representing a scene; generate second data that at least partly relates to the scene represented by the video data, encode the second data into a visual form to form a visual code; form a composite image by merging the visual code with at least one frame of the video data; and transmit, over an electronic network, the composite image to a second computer system.
