Profiling activity through video surveillance
View Patent ↗Embodiments of the invention relate to profiling activity. Content is captured and keywords are identified in the captured content. In response to the keyword identification, rules associated with the keywords are identified. These rules are employed to identify and capture relevant content in real-time.
1. A system comprising:
a processor in communication with storage media;
a functional unit in communication with the processor, the functional unit having tools to profile activity, the tools comprising:
a data manager to capture digital media content and to identify one or more possible objects from the captured content;
an association manager in communication with the data manager, the association manager to associate the identified objects with at least one keyword employed in a keyword relationship, wherein the keyword is mined data;
a rule manager in communication with the association manager, the rule manager to identify at least one media surveillance rule associated with the at least one keyword employed in the keyword relationship; and
a capture manager in communication with the rule manager, the capture manager to dynamically apply the identified media surveillance rule to a surveillance system to capture data associated with the identified rule and content, including capture of digital media content.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a prediction manager in communication with the association manager, the prediction manager to predict one or more additional keywords based on the associated keyword, and the rule manager to identify at least one additional media surveillance rule associated with the one or more additional keywords.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an object manager in communication with the association manager, the object manager to identify objects of interest in the captured content in real-time, including the object manager to compare the captured content against the identified keyword.
4. The system of claim 3 , further comprising the object manager to calculate a degree of confidence of an association between the captured content and the identified keyword.
5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising the object manager to send an alert communication to the surveillance system when the degree of confidence exceeds a defined threshold.
6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising the data manager to extract two or more keywords from the captured content and to establish a relationship among the extracted keywords, and to create at least one new media surveillance rule based on the established relationship.
7. A computer program product for use with electronic communication data, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having computer readable program code embodied thereon, which when executed causes a computer to implement the method comprising:
capturing digital media content;
identifying one or more possible objects from the captured content;
associating the identified objects with at least one keyword employed in a keyword relationship, wherein the keyword is mined data;
identifying at least one media surveillance rule associated with the at least one keyword employed in the keyword relationship; and
dynamically applying the identified media surveillance rule to a surveillance system to capture data associated with the identified rule and content in real-time, including capturing digital media content.
8. The computer program product of claim 7 , further comprising predicting one or more additional keywords based on the associated keyword, and identifying at least one additional media surveillance rule associated with the one or more additional keywords.
9. The computer program product of claim 7 , further comprising identifying objects of interest in the captured content in real-time, including comparing the captured content against the identified keyword.
10. The computer program product of claim 9 , further comprising calculating a degree of confidence of an association between the captured content and the identified keyword.
11. The computer program product of claim 10 , further comprising sending an alert communication to the surveillance system when the degree of confidence exceeds a defined threshold.
12. The computer program product of claim 7 , further comprising extracting two or more keywords from the captured content and establishing a relationship among the extracted keywords, and creating at least one new media surveillance rule based on the established relationship.
