Correlating captured images and timed event data
First Claim
1. A method for correlating asynchronously captured event data associated with a timed activity and images associated with the events, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) capturing a plurality of images and storing the images and data corresponding to the images, including a time of image capture for each image, in an image database;
(b) gathering data from one or more events associated with the timed activity and storing event data, including a time of occurrence of each event, in an event database; and
(c) correlating the images and the event data in the databases by generating a time-based window that interrelates event data in the event database having a time of occurrence within the window with images in the image database having a time of capture within the window.

Abstract
A method for correlating asynchronously captured event data associated with a timed activity and images associated with the events comprises the steps of: (a) capturing a plurality of images and storing the images and data corresponding to the images, including a time of image capture for each image, in an image database; (b) gathering data from one or more events associated with the timed activity and storing event data, including a time of occurrence of each event, in an event database; and (c) correlating the images and the event data in the databases by generating a time-based window that interrelates event data in the event database having a time of occurrence within the window with images in the image database having a time of capture within the window.

12. A system for capturing images and correlating asynchronously captured event data associated with a timed activity and images associated with the events, said system comprising:
-
a camera system for capturing a plurality of images and recording data corresponding to the images, including a time of image capture for each image;
an image database for storing the images and the data corresponding to the images;
a data recording system for recording data from one or more events associated with the timed activity, including a time of occurrence of each event;
an event database for storing the event data; and
a processor for correlating the images and the event data in the databases by generating a time-based window that interrelates event data in the event database having a time of occurrence within the window with images in the image database having a time of capture within the window. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
