Benefits of technology

The invention provides a way to create highlights for live videos with fewer steps and less human error. This method allows for easy adjustment of the start and end positions of the highlight segments, reducing the need for multiple viewpoints and decreasing the amount of manpower required.

Problems solved by technology

The traditional method which stores highlights independently does not have video data when the record is past the end point, and the blank screen appears when the end point of the record is not switched to other input signals This leads to a broadcast accident.
Furthermore, the recorded highlight of the traditional method can only adjust contents of the live broadcast backward from the start position of the highlight and forward from the end position thereof.
If there are errors in the record, the time point for playing cannot be adjusted freely and cannot satisfy the needs, and the flexibility may become worse.
In addition, it is not suitable for the operator responsible for recording the highlight to insert the in point and the out point for multiple game videos at the same time.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]The method of generating highlights for live videos of this invention comprises following steps:

[0015]Step 1 for setting a rule for inserting an out point by, for example, setting different time durations or a single time duration according to a real situation of a game.

[0016]Step 2 for collecting at least one channel of a game video.

[0017]Step 3 for inspecting the collected game video and inserting an in point when a highlight picture appears.

[0018]Step 4 for automatically finding out the rule whereby the out point is inserted and getting corresponding time duration data according to the chosen rule.

[0019]Step 5 for calculating a position where the out point is inserted according to the time duration data and a position of the in point in order to form a highlight segment record. The record at least includes a game video name and time position information of the in point and the out point in the game video.

[0020]Step 6 for setting a file name for the highlight segment record ...

Abstract

A method of generating highlights for live videos includes steps of setting a rule for inserting an out point, inserting an in point when a highlight picture appears, automatically finding out the rule whereby the out point is inserted, calculating a position where the out point is inserted to form a highlight segment record, loading the highlight segment record into a standby list, and searching the needed highlight segment record when the playback is in action to find the corresponding game video and a start position and an end position of a highlight segment. Therefore, steps for generating highlights can be reduced, and incorrect operations caused by human error can be effectively decreased.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates particularly to a method of generating highlights for live videos.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]When there is a live sport game, multiple cameras and video recorders are used to collect on-site videos at many viewpoints simultaneously, and the broadcasting site switches and replays highlights, i.e., highlight video chips or highlight reels, made by the above video sources. Editors inspect the collected video sources, make an insertion of an in point when a highlight picture appears and an insertion of an out point when the highlight picture finishes in order to store highlight video segments, and input an address and a name to be recorded in order to form a key word index. If the live broadcast needs the playback, the corresponding video is searched and found. If the editor forgets to insert the out point, the traditional device keeps recording until the device runs out of its resources. Further, the highlight video se...
