Methods, apparatus and systems for time-based and geographic navigation of video content
First Claim
1. A system for time-based and geographic navigation of video content, comprising:
- a plurality of Internet enabled video capture and encoding modules, each of the video capture and encoding modules adapted for recording and encoding corresponding video content and associated metadata information for storage and transmission, the associated metadata information including at least one of date and time information of the recording and transmission, and geographic position information indicative of a recording location of the corresponding video capture and encoding module during the recording and transmission;
a remote storage and web server device for receiving live or recorded video content and the associated metadata information from the video capture and encoding modules; and
a graphical user interface associated with the remote storage and web server device comprising an interactive map showing a corresponding route and a current location for each of the video capture and encoding modules;
wherein;
the graphical user interface enables;
a search and selection for display of the live video content based on the corresponding current locations; and
a search and selection for display of the recorded video content by the at least one of the date and time information and the geographic position information;
at least one of the corresponding route, the corresponding current location, and a corresponding time period of recording of each of the video capture and encoding modules is different; and
the selected live or recorded video content is one of streamed or downloaded to a select location for at least one of display, storage, or further processing.

Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and systems for time-based and geographic navigation of video content are provided. Video content and associated metadata information are recorded and encoded using a video capture and encoding module. The associated metadata information includes at least one of date and time information of the recording and geographic position information indicative of a recording location. The recorded video content and the associated metadata information are communicated to a remote storage and web server device. A graphical user interface enables the display of an interactive map showing a route and current location of the video capture and encoding module. The video content may be searched using at least one of the graphical user interface and the interactive map by the date and/or time information and the geographic position information. Selected video content can be streamed or downloaded to a select location for display or storage.
