Method for obtaining video content from cameras which relates to a user of a communication device, and associated apparatus

摘要

A method is dedicated to the obtaining of video recordings related to a user who has a communication device (EC) capable of connecting to a wireless communications network (RC) and whose position is determinable. This method comprises the following steps: (i) determining the position of the spot where the communication device (EC) is located, (ii) determining whether there is at least one camera (C1) capable of providing video recordings, of a part of an observation area that may include that determined spot, accessible via the communications network (RC), and (iii) in the event that such a camera (C1) is determined, transmitting to the communication device (EC), via the communications network (RC), at least a portion of a video recording made by that camera (C1) while the communication device (EC) is in its observation zone.

1. A method for obtaining video recordings related to a user who has a communication device capable of connecting to a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
determining a position of a spot where said communication device is located, determining whether there is at least one camera capable of providing video recordings, a part of an observation area of which might include said determined spot and which is accessible via said communications network, in the event that such a camera is determined to exist, determining whether the identified camera offers an observation area that includes said determined position, and if so transmitting to said communication device, via said communications network, at least one portion of a video recording made by the identified camera during a period of time said communication device is in its observation area, wherein at least one processing effort of said video recording portion is performed based on instructions provided by said communication device and wherein said processing effort is chosen from a group comprising at least one of face-blurring of people detected within the images of the video recording, manually and/or automatically selecting at least one sequence of a portion of a video recording when that portion lasts longer than a predefined threshold, deleting a portion of a video recording, and sharing a portion of a video recording with at least one third party.
