Problems solved by technology

Some known video recorders operate in areas where downloading opportunities are limited and with large amounts of data to download, operator intervention to ensure data of interest is not overwritten and subsequently lost is common.
Such intervention is time consuming for an operator whose time may be better spent attending to more important tasks.
Additionally, large volumes of data and limited bandwidth may prevent complete downloading of data of interest at each download opportunity.
Simply pushing data in for example, a first in-first out scheme may not allow for the download of the data of interest in a time sufficient to prevent overrunning the memory buffer.
Furthermore, for mobile platforms, adequate download capability may not be available at sufficient frequency to download data efficiently.
However, additional data transfer requirements also will obviate the gains made in memory technology.

Embodiment Construction

[0010]Many specific details of certain embodiments of the invention are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of such embodiments. One skilled in the art, however, will understand that the present invention may have additional embodiments, or that the present invention may be practiced without several of the details described in the following description.

[0011]FIG. 1 is a partial cut away view of an exemplary locomotive 10. Locomotive 10 includes a platform 12 having a first end 14 and a second end 16. A propulsion system 18, or truck is coupled to platform 12 for supporting, and propelling platform 12 on a pair of rails 20. An equipment compartment 22 and an operator cab 24 are coupled to platform 12. An air and air brake system 26 provides compressed air to locomotive 10, which uses the compressed air to actuate a plurality of air brakes 28 on locomotive 10 and railcars (not shown) behind it. An auxiliary alternator system 30 supplies ...

Abstract

Methods and systems for preserving content in a data recorder are provided. The method includes acquiring at least one of image data and audio data relative to an environment in a vicinity of a camera, receiving a data preservation request, and stamping the at least one of image data and audio data for future download using the data preservation request.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to automated data management systems, and more particularly, to systems and methods for recording image, audio, and sensor data and managing the data for future use.[0002]At least some known video recorders acquire image data for extended periods of time and cyclically recycle the image data storage media for reuse in a loop configuration. More recently video recorders rely on digital storage to store images and compressed video files. Such data may be time stamped and retrieved at a later time using the timestamps as an indication of the location of the data of interest on the storage media. Some known video recorders operate in areas where downloading opportunities are limited and with large amounts of data to download, operator intervention to ensure data of interest is not overwritten and subsequently lost is common. Such intervention is time consuming for an operator whose time may be better spent attending to mo...
