Fleet wide video search
Methods and devices for requesting videos may include performing a search for one or more vehicles that have a camera system located nearby an event during a time range surrounding the event. The methods and devices may include receiving a selection of at least one vehicle from a search result list including the one or more vehicles. The methods and devices may include retrieving, from a video data repository associated with the at least one vehicle, a requested video during the time range surrounding the event. The methods and devices may include displaying the requested video.
1. A computer device, comprising:
a memory to store data and instructions;
a processor in communication with the memory; and
a video manager in communication with the memory and the processor, wherein the video manager is operable to:
perform a search, regarding a first vehicle having a first driver and associated with an event, for one or more second vehicles that have a camera system located nearby the event during a time range surrounding the event, wherein the search is automatically performed in response to an on-board computer device of the first vehicle detecting an occurrence of the event and uploading time and location of the event from the first vehicle;
receive, via a user interface of the computer device, a selection of at least one second vehicle from a search result list including the one or more second vehicles, wherein the search result list is generated from the performed search based on the time and the location of the event and the event being a critical event including one or more of hard braking, use of anti-lock braking system (ABS), roll stability state, a lane departure warning, and a following time violation;
retrieve, from a video data repository associated with the at least one second vehicle of the one or more second vehicles, a requested video during the time range surrounding the event; and
display the requested video on a display of the computer device,
wherein the computer device is remote from the first vehicle and the one or more second vehicles.
2. The computer device of claim 1 , wherein the event involved at least one vehicle without video recording capability.
3. The computer device of claim 1 , wherein the search result list is displayed using a map showing a location of the one or more second vehicles in relation to an event location.
4. The computer device of claim 3 , wherein the selection of the at least one second vehicle is performed using the map.
5. The computer device of claim 3 , wherein the map further includes a time search feature where the one or more second vehicles displayed on the map changes as the time range selected changes.
6. The computer device of claim 3 , wherein the map further includes a radius search feature where the one or more second vehicles displayed on the map changes as the radius changes.
7. The computer device of claim 1 , wherein the requested video is associated with a record for the critical event.
8. A method for requesting videos by a computer device, comprising:
performing a search, regarding a first vehicle having a first driver and associated with an event, for one or more second vehicles that have a camera system located nearby an event during a time range surrounding the event, wherein the search is automatically performed in response to an on-board computer device of the first vehicle detecting an occurrence of the event and uploading time and location of the event from the first vehicle;
receiving, via a user interface of the computer device, a selection of at least one second vehicle from a search result list including the one or more second vehicles, wherein the search result list is generated from the performed search based on the time and the location of the event and the event being a critical event including one or more of hard braking, use of anti-lock braking system (ABS), roll stability state, a lane departure warning, and a following time violation;
retrieving, from a video data repository associated with the at least one second vehicle of the one or more second vehicles, a requested video during the time range surrounding the event; and
displaying the requested video on a display of the computer device,
wherein the computer device is remote from the first vehicle and the one or more second vehicles.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the event involved at least one vehicle without video recording capability.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the search result list is displayed using a map showing a location of the one or more second vehicles in relation to an event location.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the selection of the at least one second vehicle is performed using the map.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the map further includes a time search feature where the one or more second vehicles displayed on the map changes as the time range selected changes.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the map further includes a radius search feature where the one or more second vehicles displayed on the map changes as the radius changes.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the requested video is associated with a record for the critical event.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer device, comprising:
at least one instruction for causing the computer device to perform a search, regarding a first vehicle having a first driver and associated with an event, for one or more second vehicles that have a camera system located nearby an event during a time range surrounding the event, wherein the search is automatically performed in response to an on-board computer device of the first vehicle detecting an occurrence of the event and uploading time and location of the event from the first vehicle;
at least one instruction for causing the computer device to receive, via a user interface of the computer device, a selection of at least one second vehicle from a search result list including the one or more second vehicles, wherein the search result list is generated from the performed search based on the time and the location of the event and the event being a critical event including one or more of hard braking, use of anti-lock braking system (ABS), roll stability state, a lane departure warning, and a following time violation;
at least one instruction for causing the computer device to retrieve, from a video data repository associated with the at least one second vehicle of the one or more second vehicles, a requested video during the time range surrounding the event; and
at least one instruction for causing the computer device to display the requested video on a display of the computer device,
wherein the computer device is remote from the first vehicle and the one or more vehicles.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the search result list is displayed using a map showing a location of the one or more second vehicles in relation to an event location.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the selection of the at least one second vehicle is performed using the map.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the map further includes a time search feature where the one or more second vehicles displayed on the map changes as the time range selected changes.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the map further includes a radius search feature where the one or more second vehicles displayed on the map changes as the radius changes.
