Patent Images

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;

    (a1) assigning a timestamp at time of capture to each image;

    (a2) storing images and the assigned timestamp in a first database;

    (b) gathering time data and identifying data from a timed activity for a specific occurrence within the timed activity and storing the identifying data and the time data, in a second database, wherein the time data for the timed activity is independent of the timestamp associated with image capture and stored in the first database; and

    (c) correlating the images and the identifying data in the first and second databases by choosing an image from the first database and generating a time-based window that interrelates that image to identifying data in the second database that are within the same time-based window as the chosen image.
