The computing device may include a memory configured to store video and geographical coordinates at which the video was captured. The computing device may further include, a processor that is configured to execute a video path viewing program, and a display that is configured to display a graphical user interface of the video path viewing program. The graphical user interface may be configured to display a path graphic spatially representing the geographical coordinates along which the video was captured, a location selector that is selectively movable along the path graphic to a selected path location, and a video icon that is configured to display a preview of a portion of the video corresponding to the selected path location. ...
USPTO Applicaton #: #20090276711 - Class: 715719 (USPTO) - 11/05/09 - Class 715 Related Terms: Geographical Coordinates The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20090276711, Scene-granular geographical-based video footage visualizatons.
FIGS. 2A-2C are schematic views illustrating a graphical user interface of the system of FIG. 1, showing a scene granular view of a video based on the geographic location of the video\'s capture;
Continuing with FIG. 1, the graphical user interface 34 may include a location selector 44 that may be selectively movable along the path graphic 38 to a selected path location 46, and a video icon 48 configured to display a preview of a portion of the video 14 corresponding to the geographical coordinates 18 of the selected path location 46. A video playback application program 49 may also be resident in the memory 16, and may be configured to play the preview of the video 14. The video icon 48 may include a window in which the video 14 may be played. The location selector 44 may be a grabbable graphical user interface element referred to as a “handle” located along the path, but alternatively may be a grabbable handle coextensive with or located proximate to the video icon 48, or located at another position that visually corresponds to the path. Thus, in some embodiments the video icon 48 may also function as the movable location selector 44.
Embodiments may provide one or more search visualizations for videos 14 saved in the memory 16. A user may be able to leverage the geographical coordinates 18 stored with the video to intuitively, and quickly, find scenes the user is interested in. The user may be more likely to remember the location that a particular scene was recorded in versus a filename of the video 14, or a corresponding file location in the memory 16. For example, a user who recorded his son building a sand castle at Juanita beach in Kirkland, Wash. two years ago may remember that the event occurred at Juanita beach, but may not remember the name of the video file, or where within the file the scene is recorded, or the file\'s location in the memory 16. Accordingly the user may enter a geographic location into the GUI 34 to narrow the search for scenes that take place within a selected radius of the geographic location.
The map 42, displayed on the GUI 34, may be an interactive map 42 of the geographic area that may be configured to be zoomed into, and zoomed out of, and panned through. Zooming in may serve to help the user eliminate certain video clips as clips the user is not looking for as the user begins to recollect a more exact location of the video 14 capture. As the user zooms in, and the granularity of the search is increased, video icons 48 of non-sought video clips may “fall off” the GUI 34. Also, as the user zooms in, the particular portion(s) of the video 14 that may be part of a larger video file may be easier to locate by providing a scene granular visualization of the video 14 based on geographical location.
Various examples of distinguishing temporal start 70A from temporal end 70B of a path graphic 38 follow. FIG. 3A indicates an example path graphic 38 including arrows 72 indicating the direction the location selector 44 is to be moved in order to temporally advance the video 14. The temporal start 70A and the temporal end 70B may be inferred from the respective tail of the first arrow and head of the last arrow 72. FIG. 3B indicates an example path graphic 38 indicating the temporal start 70A and the temporal end 70B with relatively large visually distinguishable arrows. FIG. 3C indicates an example path graphic 38 indicating the temporal start 70A and the temporal end 70B with the respective textual identifiers “start” and “end”. FIG. 3D indicates an example path graphic 38 indicating the temporal start 70A, and the temporal end 70B and the position along the line segments of varying thickness. FIG. 3E indicates an example path graphic 38 indicating the temporal start 70A, from the temporal end 70B with line segments 56 of varying patterns, such as indicated with dotted and dashed lines.
