VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, VIDEO MANAGEMENT METHOD, READING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18514214 titled 'VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, VIDEO MANAGEMENT METHOD, READING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a video management system that integrates RFID technology to associate information with a video captured by a capturing apparatus.

  • The system includes a reading unit that communicates with RFID tags to read information stored on them.
  • A RFID tag stores identification information that can be read by the reading unit.
  • A data management unit stores the reading results in a database, linking them to specific timestamps in the video.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in various industries such as retail, security, and inventory management to track and monitor objects or individuals in real-time.

Problems Solved

1. Efficiently managing and organizing video data with associated information. 2. Streamlining the process of tracking and identifying objects within a video. 3. Enhancing security measures by integrating RFID technology with video surveillance.

Benefits

1. Improved accuracy and reliability in tracking objects or individuals. 2. Time-saving by automating the process of associating information with video footage. 3. Enhanced security and surveillance capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided a video management system for managing a video of a real space captured by a capturing apparatus, including: a first reading unit configured to emit an electromagnetic wave to a tag reading range and read information that is sent back from a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag utilizing energy of the electromagnetic wave; a first RFID tag that stores first tag identification information; and a data management unit configured to cause a database to store a reading result by the first reading unit in association with the video so that a portion in the video captured by the capturing apparatus corresponding to a time at which the first tag identification information has been read from the first RFID tag by the first reading unit is able to be extracted.
