Automatically generating labor standards from video data
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for managing a task, the computer implemented method comprising:
- generating, by multiple audio and video capture devices, continuous audio and video stream data representative of a particular person performing a sequence of motions to complete the task;
automatically detecting event data by a computer of a smart detection system from the multiple audio and video capture devices including the generated continuous audio and video stream data, wherein the event data comprises metadata describing the sequence of motions to complete the task by the particular person;
parsing the event data, including one or more operations of formatting the event data for utilization and analysis in one or more data models, comparing the event data to a data model in the one or more data models and filtering the event data for relevant data elements, to identify appropriate event data describing a discrete set of motions from the sequence of motions;
cross indexing the appropriate event data into a common repository of a multi-mode event database for correlation across the multiple audio and video capture devices and event types to create cross indexed appropriate event data, wherein each event has a reference to an original media resource that includes a link to a video file enabling the particular person to view a video associated with a retrieved event;
analyzing, using an analysis server, the cross indexed appropriate event data describing the discrete set of motions to form a labor standard that is specific to the particular person and specifies an optimal manner of performing the discrete set of motions for the particular person, using profile data including height, weight, age, physical limitations, experience, a work schedule, known physical limitations that prevent performance of certain tasks, list of certifications obtained and a customized labor standard associated with the particular person that accounts for strengths and weaknesses of the particular person; and
generating a set of recommendations for performing the task efficiently according to the labor standard.

Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for creating a labor standard for a task. The process automatically detects event data derived from a continuous video stream, wherein the event data comprises metadata describing a sequence of motions for performing the task, and parses the event data to identify appropriate event data describing a discrete set of motions from the sequence of motions. The process then analyzes, using an analysis server, the discrete set of motions to form a labor standard, wherein the labor standard specifies an optimal manner of performing the discrete set of motions. Thereafter, the process generates a set of recommendations for performing the task efficiently according to the labor standard.
