Method and system for categorized event recording of images in multiple resolution levels

摘要

A method includes compressing digital data of video images to a second resolution level and storing the digital data at a plurality of resolution levels. The plurality of resolution levels include a first resolution level and the second resolution level. The first resolution level is greater than the second resolution level. The method also includes receiving a category selection, responsive to the received category selection, determining whether the digital data stored at least the first resolution level is needed, responsive to a determination that the digital data stored at least the first resolution level is not needed, performing one of the following: discarding the digital data determined to not be needed; and flagging the digital data determined to not be needed to be discarded later.

1. A method comprising:
compressing digital data to a second resolution level, the digital data comprising video images related to an event; storing the digital data at a plurality of resolution levels, the plurality of resolution levels comprising a first resolution level and the second resolution level; wherein the first resolution level is greater than the second resolution level; presenting to a user, on a user interface, a plurality of category selection options; receiving, from the user via the user interface, a category selection from the plurality of presented category selection options for the event, wherein the category selection is linked to a first pre-defined resolution level; allowing the user to change, via the user interface, the category selection prior to conclusion of the event such that the changed category selection is linked to a second pre-defined resolution level that is different from the first pre-defined resolution level; responsive to the changed category selection, determining whether the digital data stored at the first resolution level is needed; responsive to a determination that the digital data stored at the first resolution level is not needed, performing one of the following:
discarding the digital data determined to not be needed; andflagging the digital data determined to not be needed to be discarded later.
