Video Clip Labeling With Rewind Capture for Networked Recordings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video recording systems require time-consuming post-processing to slice and label specific sections of a video, which is inefficient for users interested in only a portion of a long recording, especially over network bandwidth limitations.
Innovation Solution
A video recording system that allows real-time marking of slices from a main video stream, enabling networked sharing and labeling with event associations, using voice commands, and automatic reminder features for recording initiation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If video recording systems use post-processing software to slice and label specific sections of video, then users can access specific portions of recordings, but the process becomes time-consuming and requires additional technical software
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs video slicing during the recording process itself rather than as a separate post-processing step. The processor automatically divides the continuous video stream into discrete clips based on detected events or time intervals, making the slicing action preliminary and integrated into the recording workflow.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single integrated system: recording, slicing, labeling, and event association are all performed by the same video recording system without requiring separate editing software. This merging eliminates the need for additional technical software and reduces overall processing time.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the entire main video stream is shared over the network, then all users can access the complete recording, but network bandwidth is wasted when users only need specific portions
Solution Approach 1:
The video stream is segmented into multiple discrete clips during recording, each potentially representing a distinct event or time period. This segmentation allows the network sharing function to transmit only the specific clip portions that users need, rather than the entire continuous video stream, thereby reducing network bandwidth consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
Different portions of the video are organized into distinct clips with specific labels and event associations, allowing users to access only the locally relevant portions they need. This local organization enables targeted sharing and downloading of specific video segments rather than requiring transmission of the complete recording.
3Reliability
If video is recorded continuously without interruption, then complete event coverage is maintained, but users cannot easily identify or access specific events within the recording
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs event detection and clip segmentation during the recording process itself, preliminarily organizing the continuous video stream into event-based clips with associated metadata. This preliminary organization preserves complete event coverage while simultaneously making events easily identifiable and accessible through labels and event data.
Solution Approach 2:
Event data and labels serve as intermediary information that connects the continuous video recording with user search and access needs. This intermediary metadata layer allows users to identify and access specific events without compromising the completeness of the original continuous recording.

AI summary
A video recording system and method for labeling networked meetings and video/audio clips from a main stream of video/audio. The video recording system allows a system user to selectively view and label a main video stream. A rewind clip control sets a start pointer of a video clip to a frame of the main video stream that was already recorded some time before the activation of the rewind clip control, such as five seconds before. The video recording system also allows users to label portions of a recorded event for easy lookup in the future. For example, a child's solo performance during a music recital can easily be labeled for lookup. The system includes a user interface that displays a record control and a snap control simultaneously. An automatic record reminder alert is issued when the user interface is open for a predetermined non-record time without video recording being started.
