AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL VIDEO RECORDING AND STORAGE
First Claim
1. A video capture device for automatically recording a video output signal from an endoscopy device during a recording session, comprising:
- at least one input port configured for receiving the video output signal from the endoscopy device;
at least one processor in communication with the at least one input port,a local storage device accessible by the first processor, andat least one output device in communication with the processor and configured for accessing a network,wherein the at least one processor is operable to analyze video image data of the video output signal, identify a recording start indicator for the recording session as a function of predetermined threshold conditions for the video image data, and prepare and transmit recorded video data including the video image data to the network via the at least one output device upon identifying the recording start indicator.

Abstract
A method and device for automatically recording a video output signal from an endoscopy device. Video image data is received at a video capture device, and transmitted with associated metadata to a server. Prior to transmission, the video capture device analyzes the video image data to identify a recording start indicator as a function of predetermined threshold conditions. Once the indicator is identified, the device sends recording start timestamp to a backend server. The server indexes and stores the recorded video data as a function of the associated metadata in a database, and also records the recording the recording start timestamp data in the database. The device is further able to identify a recording stop indicator, and prepare recording stop timestamp data for transmission to the server.

14. A method for automatically recording a video output signal from an endoscopy device during a recording session, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving video image data of the video output signal at a video capture device; transmitting signals corresponding to the video image data and associated metadata to the server via the video capture device; analyzing the video image data by the video capture device to identify a recording start indicator for the recording session as a function of predetermined threshold conditions; setting a recording start timestamp by the video capture device; transmitting the recording start timestamp data over the network to the server via the video capture device; indexing the recorded video data by the server as a function of the associated metadata; storing the indexed video data for the recording session in a database accessible to the server; and storing the recording start timestamp for the recording session in the database. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
