Apparatus and methods for generating content proxy
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computerized system for providing an imaging content, the system comprising:
- an imaging sensor configured to generate output signals conveying a series of images of the imaging content;
an information storage configured to store the imaging content in a container; and
one or more processors configured to;
obtain information from one or more sensors other than the imaging sensor, the obtained information being relevant to one or more images within the series of images, the one or more sensors other than the imaging sensor including a first sensor;
obtain an imaging content proxy based on an analysis of the obtained information, the imaging content proxy being temporally related to individual images of the series of images;
obtain a link to a segment of the imaging content based on an evaluation of the imaging content proxy, the link including timing information related to a frame of a sequence of frames of the segment; and
provide the segment to a target destination, the provision of the segment to the target destination including communicating the link to the target destination.

Abstract
Content proxy may be obtained. Content may include video captured by an action camera. Content proxy may include metadata information obtained contemporaneous with the content and stored in a session container. Content proxy may include lower data rate version of the content (thumbnails). Content proxy information may be viewed and/or analyzed in order to obtain one or more highlights. Content portion corresponding to the highlight may be obtained. Multiple versions of content proxy obtained by multiple cameras may be used to identify, display, and/or share content portions in a multi-camera/multiuser applications.

10. A computerized action camera apparatus comprising:
-
an imaging sensor configured to generate output signals conveying a series of images of an imaging content; a sensor configured to obtain information related to a parameter of the computerized action camera apparatus during acquisition of the imaging content; an electronic storage configured to store the imaging content and the information in a container entry; and one or more processors configured to; communicate information with an external device; based on a first indication commence acquisition of the imaging content including the series of images, the imaging content characterizing an activity over a duration; obtain an imaging content proxy based on an analysis of the information, the imaging content proxy being temporally related to individual images of the series of images, the imaging content proxy containing a link to a segment of the imaging content, the link including timing information related to a frame of a sequence of frames of the segment; and based on a second indication, provide the imaging content proxy to the external device; wherein; the provision of the imaging content proxy to the external device is configured to enable determination of a moment of interest associated with the activity during the duration; and the link is configured to enable access to the imaging content associated with the moment of interest. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store a plurality of computer-readable instructions which when executed by one or more processors are configured to:
-
access a content entry of a content depository disposed on a first entity, the content entry including a sequence of images characterized by a source data rate; based on a request from a second entity, obtain a content proxy based on an analysis of the sequence of images, the content proxy including one or more items, individual items configured to provide links to respective images of the sequence of images; communicate the content proxy to the second entity; wherein; the content proxy is characterized by a proxy data rate configured lower than the source data rate; the communication of the content proxy to the second entity is configured to enable provision of a portion of the content entry from the first entity to the second entity; and the analysis of the sequence of images includes (i) determination of a number of pixels in a given image of the sequence of images; and
(ii) resampling the given image to obtain a reduced size image characterized by fewer pixels compared to the number of pixels; and
(iii) configuring the content proxy to include multiple reduced size images. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
