Systems and methods for determining, storing, and using metadata for video media content

摘要

Certain embodiments provide methods and systems that link a video recording device and a processing device to enhance video media content development workflow and enable a variety of features. For example, a video camera may send all or a portion of a recorded video to a separate computer that can determine information to be associated with the recorded video. In some embodiments, the computer extracts information from the recorded video to be embedded or otherwise associated with the recorded video as metadata. In some cases, the computer retrieves information from other sources such as Internet websites for association with the recorded video. In some embodiments, the computer sends the information back to the camera where it is associated with the recorded video stored at the camera. In some embodiments, the computer provides the recorded video and information to other locations and parties, for example, to a director remotely overseeing filming.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a connection component at a video recording device, the connection component for receiving captured video media content from the video recording device and sending data from the captured video media content and a unique identifier for the captured video media content to a processing component of another device separate from the video recording device, the unique identifier having been assigned by the video recording device; the processing component of the other device for receiving the captured video media content data and using the data from the captured video media content to determine metadata, wherein the metadata comprises one or more attributes extracted or derived from the captured video media content by a procedure performed by the processing component on the data from the captured video media content, wherein the processing component associates the metadata with the unique identifier, and wherein the device includes a return component for sending the metadata and the unique identifier through the connection component for use at the video recording component; and an association component, at the video recording device, for associating the captured video media content with the metadata, wherein the association component embeds the metadata and the unique identifier in a file comprising the captured video media content, the file stored at the video recording device.
