Timeline-Video Relationship Presentation for Alert Events - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18585524 titled 'Timeline-Video Relationship Presentation for Alert Events

The abstract describes a method for an electronic device with a display that involves displaying a user interface with a live video stream in one region and a timeline in another region. Users can interact to move the timeline to different portions of the video duration, with the display transitioning to show corresponding video frames.

  • The method involves displaying a live video stream from a remote camera in one region of the user interface.
  • A timeline corresponding to a portion of the video duration is displayed in another region.
  • Users can interact to move the timeline to different portions of the video duration.
  • The display transitions to show video frames corresponding to the selected portion of the duration.

Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Video editing software - Virtual reality applications

Problems Solved: - Efficient navigation through video footage - Enhanced user interaction with video content

Benefits: - Improved user experience - Better organization of video content - Enhanced control over video playback

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Video Viewing Technology for Surveillance Systems" This technology can be used in security systems for monitoring and reviewing video footage efficiently. It can also be applied in video editing software to streamline the editing process.

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on interactive video interfaces and timeline navigation in video playback systems.

Frequently Updated Research: Research on user interaction with video content and advancements in video streaming technology may be relevant to this innovation.

Questions about Enhanced Video Viewing Technology for Surveillance Systems: 1. How does this technology improve user interaction with video content? 2. What are the potential applications of this method in virtual reality systems?

1. How does this technology improve user interaction with video content? This technology allows users to easily navigate through video footage by interacting with the timeline, providing a more intuitive and efficient way to access specific portions of the video.

2. What are the potential applications of this method in virtual reality systems? This method could be used in virtual reality systems to enhance the viewing experience by allowing users to interact with and explore different parts of a virtual environment captured in a live video stream.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method at an electronic device with a display includes: displaying a user interface having a first region and a second region; receiving, and displaying in the first region of the user interface, a live video stream of a physical environment captured by a remote video camera; displaying, in the second region, a timeline corresponding to a timespan for a first portion of a duration during which the live video stream may have been recorded; in response to receiving a user interaction to move the timespan to a second portion of the duration, transitioning the displayed timeline to a new timeline that corresponds to the timespan for the second portion, and while transitioning, displaying, in the first region, a subset of video frames representing the first and/or second portion of the duration.
