Claim Text:
1. A method of generating, by an apparatus, a region-of-interest-based video synopsis, the method comprising: setting, in response to a receipt of information related to a region of interest (ROI), the region of interest for an area tracked by a camera device that is communicatively coupled to the apparatus, wherein the region of interest is a portion of the area; receiving a video stream from the camera device when a movement of one or more objects in the region of interest is detected; determining whether at least one of the detected one or more objects in the region of interest is an object of interest based on information related to the object of interest, wherein the information related to the object of interest is set by a user; generating, using the received video stream, information related to two or more tracks of the object of interest moving within the region of interest if it is determined that at least one of the detected one or more objects in the region of interest is the object of interest and that the object of interest moves within the region of interest, wherein the information related to two or more tracks of the object of interest moving within the region of interest is not generated if it is determined that at least one of the detected one or more objects is not the object of interest; generating, based on the information related to two or more tracks of the object of interest moving within the region of interest, a video synopsis related to the two or more tracks of the object of interest moving within the region of interest, wherein at least two of the two or more tracks of the object of interest that moves within the region of interest are formed in different time periods; and displaying the video synopsis such that the two or more tracks formed in different time periods are displayed at the same time while masking a remainder region that is different from the region of interest in the area.
