Capture and transmission of media files and associated metadata

摘要

A method and a system of associating correlating metadata with data assets, such as video and audio files, so that the files are rendered as a combination presentation are described herein. The system includes a client a media capture device that provides on board storage, network connectivity, preprocessing, preview buffering, file management, and an eventing system. The method includes capturing the media, associating the media with other media via an identifier, and supports associating correlating metadata prior to time of media capture and during media capture on the capture device itself, and after media capture either on a local machine or on an on-line group. When the combination presentation is presented, additional associated advertising and annotations may be provided upon rendering.

1. A system to capture media, comprising:
a processor; a keyboard for activating one or more designated hot keys; at least one media capture device to capture a persistent file that includes law enforcement relevant content; a metadata collector to capture metadata, the metadata including a predefined law enforcement-related text description that is generated in response to a trigger of a designated hot key via the keyboard; a transceiver to transmit persistent files and correlated metadata for the persistent files to a remote device; and memory that includes the plurality of computer-executable components executed by the processor, the plurality of computer-executable components comprising an application component, the application component configured to:
determine whether the persistent file is available from the at least one media capture device at a time the designated hot key is triggered via the keyboard;in response to determine that the persistent file is available, at the time the designated hot key is triggered, correlate the metadata with the persistent file for transmission to the remote device by the transceiver;in response to determining that the persistent file is unavailable, at the time the designated hot key is triggered, prompt via a user interface for a deletion of the designated hot key or an edit of the designated functionality of the designated hot key.
