DETAILED ACTION
Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Double Patenting
The nonstatutory double patenting rejection is based on a judicially created doctrine grounded in public policy (a policy reflected in the statute) so as to prevent the unjustified or improper timewise extension of the “right to exclude” granted by a patent and to prevent possible harassment by multiple assignees. A nonstatutory double patenting rejection is appropriate where the claims at issue are not identical, but at least one examined application claim is not patentably distinct from the reference claim(s) because the examined application claim is either anticipated by, or would have been obvious over, the reference claim(s). See, e.g., In re Berg, 140 F.3d 1428, 46 USPQ2d 1226 (Fed. Cir. 1998); In re Goodman, 11 F.3d 1046, 29 USPQ2d 2010 (Fed. Cir. 1993); In re Longi, 759 F.2d 887, 225 USPQ 645 (Fed. Cir. 1985); In re Van Ornum, 686 F.2d 937, 214 USPQ 761 (CCPA 1982); In re Vogel, 422 F.2d 438, 164 USPQ 619 (CCPA 1970); and In re Thorington, 418 F.2d 528, 163 USPQ 644 (CCPA 1969).
A timely filed terminal disclaimer in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(c) or 1.321(d) may be used to overcome an actual or provisional rejection based on a nonstatutory double patenting ground provided the reference application or patent either is shown to be commonly owned with this application, or claims an invention made as a result of activities undertaken within the scope of a joint research agreement. A terminal disclaimer must be signed in compliance with 37 CFR 1.321(b).
The USPTO internet Web site contains terminal disclaimer forms which may be used. Please visit http://www.uspto.gov/forms/. The filing date of the application will determine what form should be used. A web-based eTerminal Disclaimer may be filled out completely online using web-screens. An eTerminal Disclaimer that meets all requirements is auto-processed and approved immediately upon submission.

The tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the functions further comprise: comparing at least one camera's field of view against a corresponding reference field of view and adjusting the at least one camera's field of view to match the corresponding reference field of view; and after adjusting the at least one camera's field of view to match the reference field of view, for the at least one camera, displaying one or more of the camera's adjusted field of view and the reference field of view to a user for review.
14. The tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 wherein the functions further comprise displaying the one or more received live video feeds of the tracked event to a user for review.
15. The tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the functions further comprise: receiving, from the user, a selection of an image in one or more of the one or more displayed live video feeds; and saving the selected image in a displayed images folder in response to receiving the selection of the image in the one or more displayed live video feeds.
16. The tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the functions further comprise: selecting a set of images from one or more of the selected one or more segments of the received first live video feed and the second live video feed; and saving the set of images in a first collected images folder.
17. The tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein for each of the selected first and second live video feeds, modifying the selected video feed to improve performance of an automated video processing procedure further comprises: one or more of (i) compressing a received live video feed and (ii) selecting a portion of the received first and second live video feeds or the modified one or more segments for incorporation into the first video.
18. The tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the functions further comprise: in response to compiling the modified one or more segments into a first video of the tracked event, generating a graphical representation of one or more events that occurred during the tracked event, wherein the graphical representation is based on the tracking data received during the tracked event; and overlaying the graphical representation on a least a portion of the modified one or more segments, thereby causing the first video to simultaneously depict an a portion of the tracked event and the generated graphical representation.
19. The tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the functions further comprise: in response to compiling the modified one or more segments into a first video of the tracked event, generating a graphical representation of one or more events that occurred during the tracked event, wherein the graphical representation is based on the tracking data received during the tracked event; and interleaving the graphical representation with a least a portion of the modified one or more segments, thereby causing the first video to depict an ordered sequence of events representative of the tracked event.
20. A computing device comprising: at least one processor; and a tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform functions comprising: receiving tracking data associated with a tracked event; and in response to receiving the tracking data, executing an automated video processing procedure comprising: (i) initiating one or more live video feeds of the tracked event, wherein each live video feed is streamed during the tracked event; (ii) receiving a first live video feed of a first portion of the tracked event; (iii) selecting one or more segments of the received first live video feed for further processing, wherein the one or more segments of the received first live video feed are selected based on the received tracking data; (iv) receiving a second live video feed of a second portion of the tracked event; (v) selecting one or more segments of the received second live video feed for further processing, wherein the one or more segments of the received first live video feed are selected based on the received tracking data; (vi) for each of the selected one or more segments of the received first live video feed and the second live video feed, modifying the selected one or more segments to improve performance of the automated video processing procedure; and (vii) compiling the modified one or more segments into a first video of the tracked event.
