Mobile Timestamp Systems and Methods of Use
First Claim
1. A computer-enabled method comprising:
- providing a computer system, the computer system comprising,a video capture device, a server, an event indication software application, and a one of a mobile timestamp device and a software application adapted to record data on a PDA, wherein the video capture system is operatively coupled to the server, the mobile timestamp device is adapted to record one or more event data entries, the event indication software application is accessible by the server, and the event indication software application is adapted to identify an event time and an event type for an event occurrence from the one or more event data entries as recorded by the mobile timestamp device;
synchronizing the one of the mobile timestamp device and the PDA, the video capture device, and the server;
establishing a connection between the one of the mobile timestamp device and the PDA and the server;
collecting one or more event data entries from the one of the mobile timestamp device and the PDA;
determining one or more event indications and the event time and the event type thereof, andgenerating one or more video clips for the one or more event indications.

Abstract
Computer-based systems and methods are disclosed for generating video clips for specific events. The system comprises at least a server, a video capture device, the video capture device being operatively coupled to the server, and one or more mobile timestamp devices, the one or more mobile timestamp device being removably coupled to the server. A first mobile timestamp device is a small device comprising a button and an interface that can reside in a user'"'"'s hand. The button can be depressed to make timestamps after which it reverts back to its original extended position. A second mobile timestamp device can be a PDA having a software application adapted to collect a variety of data in conjunction with the timestamps. Video clips are generated by the system relating to event indications of specific events as identified by software.

14. A computer system for managing a mobile timestamp device and a video capture device, the computer system comprising:
a server computer, the server computer having, a processor, a network connection coupled to the processor, and one or more storage devices coupled to the processor, the one or more storage devices having stored thereon machine-readable instructions, the instructions when executed by the processor causing the processor to, record one or more event data entries stored on the mobile timestamp device onto the one or more storage devices, the one or more event data entries including information regarding at least one of;
a timestamp, a type of event, a person involved in the event, and a location of the person involved in the event;compute a event indication, the event indication being determined by one of;
(i) identifying a first of a series of successive timestamp data entries and (ii) identifying a timestamp data entry associated with a corresponding type of event data entry; andcompute an event type for the event indication, the event type being determined by one of;
(i) counting the series of successive timestamp data entries and (ii) identifying the corresponding type of event data entry associated with the timestamp data entry.- View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A system for generating video clips, the system comprising:
-
a server; a data entry device, the data entry device being operatively coupled to the server; a video capture device, the video capture device being operatively coupled to the server; and a mobile timestamp device, the mobile timestamp device being removably coupled to the server; wherein the server is adapted to;
(i) synchronize the mobile timestamp recorder with the video capture device, (ii) receive and store one or more event data entries from the mobile timestamp device, (iii) receive and store one or more time parameters associated with each event type, and (iv) request a customized copy from the video capture device for each of the one or more event indications with the associated one or more time parameters.- View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
