Abstract

A body-worn camera and an operation method thereof are provided, and the body-worn camera a central processing unit, a video recording module, a turntable, and a main button. The video recording module is electrically connected to the central processing unit. The turntable is electrically connected to the central processing unit. The main button is electrically connected to the central processing unit. After the video recording module completes recording a video, when the central processing unit receives a category mode signal from the turntable and receives a category name confirmation signal from the main button, the central processing unit executes a video tagging program, and the video tagging program saves a corresponding relationship between a category name and the video.

Claims (20)

1. A body-worn camera, comprising:

a central processing unit;

a video recording module electrically connected to the central processing unit;

a turntable electrically connected to the central processing unit; and

a main button electrically connected to the central processing unit;

wherein, after the video recording module completes recording a video, when the central processing unit receives a category mode signal from the turntable and receives a category name confirmation signal from the main button, the central processing unit executes a video tagging program, and the video tagging program saves a corresponding relationship between a category name and the video.

2. The body-worn camera according to claim 1 , wherein, when the turntable is rotated by a first angle, the central processing unit receives the category mode signal, and the category name is a first category name; wherein, when the turntable is rotated by a second angle, the central processing unit receives the category mode signal, and the category name is a second category name; wherein the first angle is different from the second angle, and the first category name is different from the second category name.

3. The body-worn camera according to claim 1 , wherein, when the body-worn camera is in a pre-recording mode or a privacy mode and the central processing unit receives a menu mode signal from the turntable, the body-worn camera switches from the pre-recording mode or the privacy mode to a menu mode.

4. The body-worn camera according to claim 1 , further comprising a displayer, wherein the displayer is electrically connected to the central processing unit; wherein, when the central processing unit receives the category mode signal from the turntable, the display displays the category name; wherein, when the display displays the category name and the main button is not triggered, the central processing unit executes the video tagging program, and the video tagging program saves a corresponding relationship between an uncategorized name and the video.

5. The body-worn camera according to claim 4 , further comprising a speaker, a vibrator, and a light-emitting element, wherein the speaker, the vibrator and the light-emitting element are electrically connected to the central processing unit, and wherein, when the displayer displays the category name, the speaker outputs a prompt sound, the vibrator generates vibration, or the light-emitting element emits light.

6. An operation method of a body-worn camera, comprising:

receiving a video recording trigger signal to instruct a video recording module of the body-worn camera to start recording a video;

receiving a stop recording signal to instruct the video recording module to stop recording and to complete recording the video;

receiving a category mode signal from a turntable of the body-worn camera;

receiving a category name confirmation signal from a main button of the body-worn camera; and

executing a video tagging program of the body-worn camera, so as to save a corresponding relationship between a category name and the video.

7. The operation method according to claim 6 , further comprising: driving a displayer of the body-worn camera to display the category name, wherein, when the displayer displays the category name and the main button is not triggered, a central processing unit executes the video tagging program so as to save a corresponding relationship between an uncategorized name and the video.

8. The operation method according to claim 7 , further comprising: switching the body-worn camera from the category mode to a pre-recording mode after the video tagging program saves the corresponding relationship between the uncategorized name and the video.

9. The operation method according to claim 6 , wherein, when the body-worn camera is in a pre-recording mode or a privacy mode and a central processing unit receives a menu mode signal from the turntable, the body-worn camera switches from the pre-recording mode or the privacy mode to a menu mode.

10. The operation method according to claim 9 , wherein, when the body-worn camera is in the pre-recording mode, the privacy mode, or the menu mode, and the central processing unit receives the video recording trigger signal, the body-worn camera enters a video recording mode.
