Abstract

A method for creating a video that is generated based on the occurrence of pertinent events within a period of time. This video may be a summary video that includes video segments from multiple sources. The video may be augmented to display data describing pertinent events that occur.

Claims (49)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:

obtaining video of a monitored location;

obtaining information indicative of a device triggering event associated with a device, wherein the device is located in the monitored location;

obtaining information indicative of a video triggering event associated with the video;

based on the information indicative of the device triggering event and the video triggering event, determining descriptive event text for a first period associated with the video;

creating a first video segment of the video, wherein the first video segment is associated with the descriptive event text for the first period based on the device triggering event and the video triggering event;

determining a time length of the first video segment;

based on the time length of the first video segment, preparing a truncated first video segment of the first video segment with the descriptive event text; and

integrating the truncated first video segment into a summary video segment.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , the operations further comprising based on time length of the first video segment, preparing a truncated first video segment of the first video segment with the descriptive event text.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , the operations further comprising

displaying an indication of the summary video segment to a mobile device.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a mobile device.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a smart speaker.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the video triggering event or the device triggering event comprises a threshold decibel level of a spoken word.

7. A system comprising:

a mobile device; and

apparatus communicatively connected with the mobile device, the apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:

obtaining video of a monitored location;

obtaining information indicative of a device triggering event associated with a device, wherein the device is located in the monitored location;

obtaining information indicative of a video triggering event associated with the video;

based on the information indicative of the device triggering event and the video triggering event, determining descriptive event text for a first period associated with the video;

creating a first video segment of the video, wherein the first video segment is associated with the descriptive event text for the first period based on the device triggering event and the video triggering event;

determining a time length of the first video segment;

based on the time length of the first video segment, preparing a truncated first video segment of the first video segment with the descriptive event text; and

integrating the truncated first video segment into a summary video segment.

8. The system of claim 7 , the operations further comprising based on time length of the first video segment, preparing a truncated first video segment of the first video segment with the descriptive event text.

9. The system of claim 7 , the operations further comprising

displaying an indication of the summary video segment to the mobile device.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the device comprises a sensor.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the device comprises a smart speaker.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the information indicative of the video triggering event or the device triggering event comprises a threshold decibel level of a spoken word.

13. A computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:

obtaining video of a monitored location;

obtaining information indicative of a device triggering event associated with a device, wherein the device is located in the monitored location;

obtaining information indicative of a video triggering event associated with the video;

based on the information indicative of the device triggering event and the video triggering event, determining descriptive event text for a first period associated with the video;

creating a first video segment of the video, wherein the first video segment is associated with the descriptive event text for the first period based on the device triggering event and the video triggering event;

determining a time length of the first video segment;

based on the time length of the first video segment, preparing a truncated first video segment of the first video segment with the descriptive event text; and

integrating the truncated first video segment into a summary video segment.

14. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , the operations further comprising based on time length of the first video segment, preparing a truncated first video segment of the first video segment with the descriptive event text.

15. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the device comprises a sensor.

16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the device comprises a smart speaker.

17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the information indicative of the video triggering event or the device triggering event comprises a threshold decibel level of a spoken word.
