Time synchronization of video and data inside a mobile device

摘要

A video player tablet, or a mobile device includes a processor configured to receive live video and audio data from a communication network and format the video and audio data for display on the tablet. The processor is also configured to receive live meta-data from the communication network and format the meta-data for display on the same tablet. The processor is further configured to select the meta-data, and time synchronize the selected meta-data with the video and audio data for simultaneous display on the tablet, or mobile device.

1. A synchronization method for a mobile station, the method comprising:
requesting, by a processor in the mobile station, a first type of data from a mobile communication network, the first type of data obtained from a first source associated with a live event occurring remotely from the mobile station, and the first type of data having been published on the mobile communication network at a first time that is later than a live occurrence time of the live event; receiving, by the processor in the mobile station, the first type of data from the mobile communication network; configuring, by the processor, the first type of data for display by the mobile station, the first type of data having a first time stamp, wherein the first time stamp has a format defined by a first industry standard; requesting, by the processor, based on the first time stamp, the second type of data from the mobile communication network, wherein the second type of data:
is obtained from a second source at the live event, the second source being different from the first source;has a time stamp having a second format different from the format of the first time stamp; andprovides additional information related to the live event that changes during the occurrence of the live event; and receiving, by the processor, the second type of data, in which a second time stamp of the second type of data corresponds to the first time stamp of the first type of data; setting the first time stamp as a time of a master clock for display of the first type of data and second type of data; and configuring, by the processor, the second type of data for display with the first type of data; on the mobile station display in which the second time stamp of the second type of data corresponds to the master clock.
