Abstract

An example operation includes one or more of associating a vehicle with an impact, saving media captured before and after the impact as a media segment, transmitting, by a computing device associated with the vehicle, the media segment to another computing device, and building a sound profile from the media segment.

Claims (53)

1 . A method, comprising:

associating a vehicle with an impact;

saving media captured before and after the impact as a media segment;

transmitting, by a computing device associated with the vehicle, the media segment to another computing device; and

building a sound profile from the media segment.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the media segment comprises one or more of audio, video, a text file, an image file, vehicle telemetry, environmental data, traffic data, and sensor data.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein environmental data comprises data related to one or more of ambient temperature, road conditions, weather, wind speed or direction, time of day, and light sources.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the media segment further comprises one or more of a direction for each of one or more sounds, wherein another computing device comprises a server, wherein the method further comprising:

determining, at the server, a number of videos based on the received media segment; and

synchronizing the one or more sounds with one or more videos.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the media segment comprises media captured during a first time period before the impact and media captured during a second time period after the impact.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the sound profile comprises one or more sound elements, wherein each sound element comprising:

a unique identifier;

a starting timestamp;

an ending timestamp; and

an indication of a source of the sound element.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

transmitting the sound profile to one of an emergency services provider, law enforcement, or an insurance provider.

8 . A vehicle, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, coupled to the processor, comprising instructions that when executed by the processor are configured to:

detect an impact;

save media captured before and after the impact as a media segment; and

transmit, by a computing device associated with the vehicle, the media segment to another computing device; and

build a sound profile from the media segment.

9 . The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the media segment comprises one or more of audio, video, a text file, an image file, vehicle telemetry, environmental data, traffic data, and sensor data.

10 . The vehicle of claim 9 , wherein environmental data comprises data related to one or more of ambient temperature, road conditions, weather, wind speed or direction, time of day, and light sources.

11 . The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the media segment further comprises one or more of a direction for each of one or more sounds, wherein another computing device comprises a server, wherein the server determines a number of videos based on the received media segment and synchronizes the one or more sounds with one or more videos.

12 . The vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the server is further configured to transmit the sound profile to one of an emergency services provider, law enforcement, or an insurance provider.

13 . The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the media segment comprises media captured during a first time period before the impact and media captured during a second time period after the impact.

14 . The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the sound profile comprises one or more sound elements, wherein each sound element comprising:

a unique identifier;

a starting timestamp;

an ending timestamp; and

an indication of a source of the sound element.

15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

associating a vehicle with an impact;

saving media captured before and after the impact as a media segment;

transmitting, by a computing device associated with the vehicle, the media segment to another computing device; and

building a sound profile from the media segment.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the media segment comprises one or more of audio, video, a text file, an image file, vehicle telemetry, environmental data, traffic data, and sensor data, wherein environmental data comprises data related to one or more of ambient temperature, road conditions, weather, wind speed or direction, time of day, and light sources.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the media segment comprises media captured during a first time period before the impact and media captured during a second time period after the impact.

18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the sound profile comprises one or more sound elements, wherein each sound element comprises:

a unique identifier;

a starting timestamp;

an ending timestamp; and

an indication of a source of the sound element.

19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the media segment further comprises one or more of a direction for each of one or more sounds, wherein another computing device comprises a server, wherein the server is configured to:

determine a number of videos based on the received media segment; and

synchronize the one or more sounds with one or more videos.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the server is further configured to:

build the sound profile from the media segment; and

transmit the sound profile to one of an emergency services provider, law enforcement, or an insurance provider.
