ACTIVITY ZONE FOR CAMERA VIDEO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161308 titled 'ACTIVITY ZONE FOR CAMERA VIDEO
Simplified Explanation
Methods and systems for establishing an activity zone within video captured by a camera are provided in this patent application. A user device can set up an activity zone or an exclusion zone within the video representing a physical view captured by the camera. An automatic monitoring system can analyze the video with respect to the activity zone or exclusion zone and trigger notifications associated with a zone to limit notifications transmitted to the user device to only those that are relevant to the user. By using activity or exclusion zones, video from a camera can be automatically monitored to reduce the volume of notifications sent to the user device.
- User device can establish an activity zone or exclusion zone within video captured by a camera.
- Automatic monitoring system analyzes the video with respect to the zones and triggers relevant notifications.
- Notifications are limited to those that are associated with the established zones to reduce unnecessary alerts to the user device.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in home security systems, retail stores for monitoring customer activity, and in industrial settings for safety monitoring.
Problems Solved
This technology helps reduce the volume of notifications sent to users, preventing them from being overwhelmed with irrelevant alerts. It also allows for more efficient monitoring of specific areas within video footage.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications, increased efficiency in monitoring specific areas of interest, and enhanced security through targeted alerts.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include security camera systems, retail analytics solutions, and industrial safety monitoring tools.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be motion detection systems in security cameras that trigger alerts based on movement within a specified area.
What are the specific technical requirements for implementing this technology?
To implement this technology, a user device with the capability to set up activity or exclusion zones within video footage is needed. Additionally, an automatic monitoring system that can analyze the video with respect to these zones and trigger relevant notifications is required.
How does this technology compare to existing solutions on the market?
This technology offers a more targeted approach to monitoring video footage by allowing users to define specific areas of interest. This can help reduce the number of unnecessary notifications and improve the overall user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods and systems are provided for establishing an activity zone within video captured by a camera. a user device may establish an activity zone or an exclusion zone within video representing a physical view captured by the camera. an automatic monitoring system may analyze the video of the camera with respect to the activity zone or exclusion zone and trigger notifications that are associated with a zone so as to limit notifications transmitted to the user device to those notifications that are relevant to the user. with activity or exclusion zones video from a camera may be automatically monitored to reduce a volume of notifications transmitted to the user device.
