Specification

projected in the Screens of the movie theatre. They use smartphones, camcarders, hidden cameras, bug cameras, to make a Copy of the movies which is strictly not legal. They use to make a copy by recording the movie in the first day of projection, after which multiple copies are taken or making a Copy they and then upload it to the websites. Within fraction of seconds once it is released on the web, it becomes is free of access for the Common people. The movie which is uploaded in common platforms before being identified and blocked is downloaded by the people who are easily watching it at their homes. This in turn leads to a huge and unspeakable loss to the film Producer. People watching pirated movie in their homes seldom do come to the theatres. It will lead to the loss to the production house, to the theatre and to the entire crew of the movie industry. The film industry is the primary source of entertainment in India for the communities in small towns and rural areas due to the lack of urban developments. Thus, the entertainment market is dominated by regional films and foreign films only have a share of 3% in the legal market. However, in the pirated market the share of regional films and foreign films are uniformly balanced. Because of the high costs of prints, the theatrical release of major films is only available to Tier I and Tier II cities, denying access to such content for the consumers belonging from, other parts of the country. In such cases, the audiences get easy access to the contents through the purchase of pirated versions; illegal broadcasting and unauthorized screenings of movies in these remote areas.In India, there
are around 30,000 unauthorized video rental stores in India. Along with it, the local cable channels air pirated content about 60% of the time. These channels reach 65 million households, thus increasing the accessibility of the pirated content. Sometimes, the contents are available across cities and towns before the actual date of release. This happens because of three primary leakage points: The primary mode of piracy for films is attributed to theft of prints taking place in processing labs to theatres or sometimes from the theatres themselves prior to screening. “Tele-Cine” machines are used to convert the prints to digital formats. Another mode of piracy is Camera Print Piracy, where an amateur camera is used to film the movie in a theatre.Both the regional and foreign film industries are impacted because of the malpractice of illegal imports. Sometimes, different countries have different release dates for a particular movie, giving the pirates an opportunity to acquire such content from other countries and circulate across different countries.India’s film industry, said to be the largest globally with some 1,000 movies produced each year, earns around $2 billion (approximately □ 16000 crores) from different sources such as screening at theatres, home videos and TV rights. But with $2.7 billion (approximately 018000 crores), piracy earns 35 percent more, and a way out has proved elusive. There is also the recent prevalence of pirated versions of Indian films swarming the market and the internet a day or two before their actual release, since distributors opt for a simultaneous global screening, which requires the dispatch of prints some 10-12 days
in advance. “Some territories like in the UAE, they release films a day prior to the Indian release date. This is one of the reasons why a film is leaked before its actual release.

5. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

• The main object of the invention is to create a distraction/disturbance to the cameras of the pirates, which is used for making a copy of the movie. It is created by the IR lights which are inserted into the screens of the theatre.

• Another object of the invention is the motorized IR light which moves To and Fro motion in a linear manner.

• Another object of the invention is to link the total system to a single main server which will

• t

monitor’s the action of the total system; if any tapering occurs it will stop the total projection and give an alert to the main server.

8. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

In these present days, modem day movie projection has many problems in projecting it in theatre. In these problems one of the biggest issues which the movie production and the theatre owners are suffering is the movie piracy. The movie which is being projected in the theatre is used to make a copy of the movie and release it in the illegal sites. The pirates make money by pushing advertisements to the websites where they upload the copied movies. For this we have invented a new method to prevent this type of piracy. The modem theatre uses the white screen (100) for the projection of movies. The white screen (100) has a hole in it. These holes are used for the surround system in the theatre. These white screens (100) are used as an advantage in our invention. These holes are used for the placement of IR LED’s. Yes, this IR LED’s are used for the prevention of the piracy in our invention. The pirates use camera or video recorder for making a.copy of the movie which is projected in white screens (100) of theatre. The camera’s or video recorders we use today are very sensitive towards IR lights. These cameras or video recorders can capture the lights which are visible to human eyes and the lights which are invisible to human eyes. By placing this types of invisible lights produces a distraction/disturbance in the lenses of the camera’s or video recorder which is used by the pirates for coping the movie. The ER (infrared) light which is invisible to human eyes because, the visible spectrum of our human eyes lies between 380-700nm. But the IR light’s
spectrum lies between 700nm-lmm. This is an invisible spectrum to human eyes. The placing of IR in the screens (103) will give a solution for this type of piracy. The placing of ER in the screens (103) will create a disturbance/distraction in camera’s or video recorder and it will not allow the pirates to make a copy of the movie. The screens (100) in the theatre do not get affected by the placement of this IR (103). It does not create any disturbance for the people’s vision sitting in the seats (101) of the theatre. The projector (104) in the theatre projects the movie in IR placed screen (103) which will not affect the quality of the movie projected in the theatre. It creates a invisible lights to the camera’s or video recorder. It does affect the health of people sitting in the seats (101) of the movie theatre. For the rate of accuracy in the prevention of the piracy we have added additional method to this invention. By placing the IR in the walls of the theatre (102) like a disco or a moving light. This system work as the same as the IR in the screen (103) of the theatre. This IR in the walls (102) will be fully focused on the people sitting in the seats (101) of the movie theatre. It will move in To and Fro motion. The two sided walls of the theatre have used to place the ER (102). These IR in the walls (102) will place according to the seats of the theatre. The number of row of seats decides the number of the IR should be placed in the walls of the theatre (102). For example (when the IR 1 light in any one side of wall hits the first row of the seats and the IR 2 light hits the second row of the seats. Then the IR 1 which first used to cover the first row of seats, will be moved to
cover the second row of seats and the IR 2 which .first covers the second row of seats, will be moved to cover the third row of seats. Then the IR 1 which covers the second row of seats, will be moved to cover the third row of seats and the IR 2 which covers the third row of seats, will be moved to cover the fourth row of seats). From the above example we are trying to say that the need of the IR in the walls (103) of. theatre is not much required. For a two row a single IR light is required. The IR which is placed in the walls of the theatre (102) is not small as the IR placed in the screen (103). It is bigger in size comparatively. The movement of the IR in the walls can be done by a normal motor which can be programmed for the precise movement and the speed of movement. The speed of the IR to be noted for the better accuracy. The IR in the screen (103) and the IR in the walls will combined together and create a better distraction/disturbance to the pirates and does not allow them to make a copy of the movie. The IR system may not work if the theatre owners who are helping to the pirates for this type of piracy. Because if any one of the theatre owner does not turn on the IR system it may get totally collapsed and the movie may get copied by the pirates and it leaked in the websites. To avoid this we have another idea for this to integrate the entire IR system to the projector of the theatre. The modem day movies are get projected in a type of method. If a movie wanted to be projected in a theatre a special key should be given by the producer for allowing the theatre’s to project the movie. If we integrate it to projector of the theatreautomatically the IR system turn’s on.

Special software is developed to ensure the running of ER system. If any tapering acquires it will a sent a message to the main head of the production house. The warning message contains the detail of the theatre which does the malicious thing. The system also shut down the projector also and doesn’t allow projecting the movie in the screens of theatre (103).

Although the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications are possible and are apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are to be understood as included within the scope of the present invention unless they depart there from.
