First Claim
1. A system for automatically providing event non-video information usable for indexing event video information, where the event takes place at an event location for a duration of event time, comprising:
- a non-video information system for receiving or determining event non-video information, where the event non-video information relates to event activities taking place at the event location during the event time, where the event activities comprise the movements of one or more event persons or event objects, and where the event non-video information is relatable to the event time and is stored in a non-video dataset;
a video information system for receiving event video information captured by one or more filming cameras, where the event video information records at least some of the event activities taking place at the event location during the event time, and where the event video information is relatable to event time and is stored in a video dataset; and
a video information retrieval system for randomly accessing the video dataset, where the video information retrieval system has access to both the non-video dataset and the video dataset, where the random access includes;
(a) using event non-video information to first determine an event time or duration of event time, and (b) using the determined event time or duration of event time to selectively access, retrieve, or provide event video information including one or more video images of the event.

Abstract
A system for automatically providing event non-video information usable for indexing event video information, where the event takes place at an event location for a duration of event time. The system includes a non-video information system for receiving or determining event non-video information and storing the non-video information in a non-video dataset, a video information system for receiving event video information captured by one or more filming cameras and storing the video information in a video dataset, and a video information retrieval system for randomly accessing the video dataset, where the random access includes: (a) using event non-video information to first determine an event time or duration of event time, and (b) using the determined event time or duration of event time to selectively access, retrieve, or provide event video information including one or more video images of the event.

21. A system for allowing a user to interactively retrieve event video information by first randomly accessing event non-video information, comprising:
-
a data synchronizer operative on a computer for receiving or accessing event non-video information and event video information, where the data synchronizer cross-links the event non-video dataset with the event video dataset using event time such that the event non-video information is relatable to the event video information by event time, and a video information retrieval system operative on a computer for randomly accessing the event video information using the synchronized non-video information, where the random access includes;
(a) using event non-video information to first determine an event time or duration of event time, and (b) using the determined event time or duration of event time to selectively access, retrieve, or provide event video information including one or more video images of the event. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A system for creating a non-video dataset in accordance with an event including event non-video information relatable to event time for use in providing random access to a video dataset captured in accordance with the event including event video information relatable to event time, comprising:
-
a non-video information system for receiving or determining event non-video information, where the event non-video information relates to event activities taking place at an event location during event time, where the event activities comprise the movements of one or more event persons or event objects, and a non-video dataset, where the non-video dataset includes the event non-video information stored in relation to event time, where the non-video dataset is relatable to a video dataset stored in relation to event time, where the video dataset includes event video information, where the event video information is captured by one or more filming cameras, where the event video information records at least some of the event activities taking place at the event location during the event time and is relatable to event time, where the non-video data is adapted to be used by a video information retrieval system in order to randomly access the video dataset, where the video information retrieval system has access to both the non-video dataset and the video dataset, and where the random access includes;
(a) using event non-video information to first determine an event time or duration of event time, and (b) using the determined event time or duration of event time to selectively access, retrieve, or provide event video information including one or more video images of the event. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30)
