Digital Video Management Content Sharing Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Digital Video Management (DVM) systems lack effective methods for collaborative incident management, as they require a conducive verbal communication environment and do not efficiently facilitate the sharing of video data between operators in real-time.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for managing video data that provides a user interface across multiple client terminals, allowing operators to independently view and share live video data captured by cameras, enabling real-time content sharing between terminals through a signal delivery mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If operators work collaboratively in parallel at respective client terminals in known DVM systems, then collaboration capability is improved, but the system requires a conducive verbal communication environment which increases operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a content sharing mechanism as an intermediary that enables operators to share video content and information without requiring direct verbal communication. The system mediates collaboration by allowing operators to send and view content items (video clips, screenshots, maps) through the interface, replacing the need for conducive verbal communication environments while maintaining collaborative capability.
2Productivity
If operators share video content in real-time during high-activity incidents, then operational efficiency is improved, but the existing systems lack effective methods for content sharing which reduces productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring the content sharing framework and interface before incidents occur. Operators are provided with ready-to-use sharing capabilities that allow them to immediately share video content, screenshots, and other information during high-activity incidents without requiring complex setup or configuration at the moment of need.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements content sharing by creating and transmitting copies of video content and information between operators. When an operator shares a video clip or screenshot, the system creates a copy that can be viewed by other operators at their respective terminals, enabling real-time information dissemination without requiring operators to be in the same physical location or communicate verbally.
3Ease of operation
If operators independently view DVM content items at their own terminals, then individual viewing capability is improved, but the ability to share and collaborate on specific content items deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the viewing interface universal by enabling it to serve both independent viewing and content sharing functions. The same interface that operators use to independently view DVM content items is also used to receive and display shared content from other operators. This multi-functionality allows operators to maintain independent viewing capability while simultaneously enabling content sharing and collaboration without requiring separate systems or interfaces.

AI summary
Described herein are systems and methods for managing video data. Embodiments are described by reference to a Digital Video Management (DVM) system, for example methods for facilitating collaborative incident management. In overview, a DVM system provides a user interface, which is renderable at a plurality of client terminal. This allows an operator of each client to independently view DVM content items. In some cases the user interface is provided by components delivered to the clients via a web-server arrangement. The user interface is configured thereby to allow an operator of a first client terminal to provide a request to share a specified DVM content item with the operator of a second client terminal. In response to this request, the content item is delivered to the operator of the second client terminal.
