Systems, methods, and software for merging video viewing cells
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program instructions stored thereon for operating a video management system to merge viewing cells, that when executed by the video management system, direct the video management system to:
- present a plurality of viewing cells to a user capable of displaying video from a plurality of video capture devices;
receive an instruction to merge at least two of the plurality of viewing cells into a merged viewing cell;
associate the merged viewing cell with one of the plurality of video capture devices; and
allow a user to drag another viewing cell into the merged viewing cell to associate the merged viewing cell with a video capture device correlated to the other viewing cell.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and software are provided herein that allow a user to view video and manipulate viewing cells on a multi-view mode. In a first example, a method of merging viewing cells in a video management system is disclosed. The method includes presenting a plurality of viewing cells to a user, where the plurality of viewing cells are capable of displaying video of a plurality of video capture devices. The method also includes receiving an instruction to merge at least two of the plurality of viewing cells into a merged viewing cell, associating the merged viewing cell with one of the plurality of video capture devices, and allowing a user to drag another viewing cell into the merged viewing cell to associate the merged viewing cell with a video capture device correlated to the other viewing cell.
