System and method for computer-assisted manual and automatic logging of time-based media
DCFirst Claim
1. A customizable media logging system for indexing media, comprising:
- a timer object that provides a time reference upon request in connection with the media; and
a logger object that logs predefined events that occur in the media by associating the events with respective time references from the timer object, wherein the logger object includes a graphical user interface having a plurality of user interface objects that can be selected by a user of the logging system in order to log events that occur in the media, and the interface objects include labels thereon corresponding to predetermined events that may typically occur in the particular media being logged, and further wherein the graphical user interface is customizable to correspond to types of events that occur in the particular media being logged, said media logging system further including a graphical user interface generator that generates a custom graphical user interface including custom user interface objects for a logging screen of the graphical user interface for use by a user when using the logging application, wherein the graphical user interface generator uses information entered by a user to create the customized user interface.

Abstract
A customizable logging and content management system for indexing multimedia, including a synchronized timer object that provides a time reference upon request in connection with the media, and a logger object that logs predefined events that occur in the media by associating the events with respective time references from the timer object. A video server is provided that captures and digitally stores events logged by the logging application as media segments, and a search and retrieval engine is provided that enables that media segments to be located, retrieved and viewed based on the indexes. The system includes a graphical user interface generator that enables customized user interfaces and logging databases to be created from database tables for use in the logging application.
