Correlated media for distributed sources
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- generating an event identifier for at least one data asset captured by a first data capture device;
associating the at least one data asset captured by the first data capture device with other data assets captured by at least a second data capture device based at least partially on the event identifier, wherein the at least one data asset has correlating metadata associated therewith and one or more of the other data assets have corresponding correlating metadata associated therewith, wherein the other data assets and the corresponding correlating metadata associated therewith are stored in a data store;
storing the at least one data asset and the correlating metadata associated therewith in the data store;
providing an operating center with access to the data assets and the corresponding metadata stored in the data store based at least partially on the event identifier, in which the first data capture device and the second data capture device both broadcast geolocation information such that the operating center joins the second data capture device to a crime scene associated with the first data capture device based at least partially on a predefined distance and provide a route to the crime scene for the second data capture device;
correlating the at least one data asset and the other data assets based at least partially on at least one of the stored correlating metadata of the at least one data asset and correlating metadata corresponding to at least one of the other data assets;
retrieving at least a portion of the at least one data asset and at least a portion of at least one of the other data assets for a combination presentation; and
integrating the combined presentation with case data from a case database by tagging data assets with the event identifier that corresponds to a case identifier from the case database such that the case data is provided in an integrated view along with the data assets.

Abstract
A method and a system of associating correlating metadata with data assets, such as video and audio files, so that the files are rendered as a combination presentation are described herein. The system includes a client a media capture device that provides on board storage, network connectivity, preprocessing, preview buffering, file management, and an eventing system. The method includes capturing the media, associating the media with other media via an identifier, and supports associating correlating metadata prior to time of media capture and during media capture on the capture device itself, and after media capture either on a local machine or on an on-line group. When the combination presentation is presented, additional associated advertising and annotations may be provided upon rendering.

7. A system to capture media, comprising:
-
a digital camera; at least one communication device to receive control data and to transmit file data and a first geographical location from the system, in which the at least one communication device receives directions to join a crime scene at a second geographical location based at least in part on a proximity between the first geographical location and the second geographical location; a removable digital storage media to store at least one digital data asset captured by the digital camera and corresponding correlating metadata associated with the at least one digital asset in the form of a persistent file, the corresponding metadata having the at least one identifier included therein; a software metadata correlation system to include the at least one identifier in the correlating metadata corresponding to the at least one digital data asset; and a file control module to provide the persistent file and the associated correlating metadata to the at least one communication device for transmission therefrom based at least in part on the received control data, in which the persistent file with the associated correlating metadata is tagged with a case identifier from a case database such that case data is provided in an integrated view along with the persistent file. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for data management, comprising:
-
generating a common identifier for a plurality of data assets captured by a plurality of capture devices in physical proximity to a common first geographical location, one or more of the data assets comprising data related to at least a portion of a common event that occurred at the common first geographical location and corresponding correlating metadata; including the common identifier in the respective correlating metadata of the one or more data assets; correlating the plurality of data assets based at least in part on the common identifier; retrieving, from multiple data assets of the plurality of data assets, at least one portion of the respective correlated data assets for a combination presentation; integrating the combined presentation with case data from a case database by tagging the plurality of data assets with the common identifier that corresponds to a case identifier from the case database such that the case data is provided in an integrated view along with the data assets; and including the common identifier in correlating metadata of at least one other data asset captured by at least one capture device in physical proximity to a second geographical location that is remote from the common first geographical location, in which the plurality of capture devices broadcast the common first geographical location and the at least one capture device broadcast the second geographical location such that the at least one capture device is joined to the plurality of capture devices based at least in part on a predefined distance and is provided directions to the common first geographical location. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
