  • Publication number: 20240152642
    Abstract: A media playback system for presenting to a user a composition of a plurality of media streams. It has a media selection component configured to receive a scenario dataset, to receive user input for selecting viewing times defining segments of media and composition selections, and to output a list of segments of media from the scenario dataset that are authorized to be viewed by the user. The system has a playback control component configured to retrieve from media storage at least the segments of media from the output list of segments, to decode the segments of media, and to compile composition instructions. The system has a media playback component configured to receive the rendered media and the composition instructions.

  • Publication number: 20240146791
    Abstract: A method for routing media comprising, at one of a plurality of media devices placed on a local network deployed at a location being surveilled, each media device configured to generate media stream data as the location is being surveilled, detecting networked device(s) placed on the local network, the networked device(s) comprising gateway device(s) each having network connectivity to a cloud computing device, obtaining, based on the detecting, rule(s) from the cloud computing device and/or the gateway device(s), the rule(s) indicative of when the media stream data is to be routed via the gateway device(s) and when the media stream data is to be routed directly to the cloud computing device for processing, monitoring parameter(s) associated with the local network and/or an environment of the location being surveilled to determine whether the rule(s) is satisfied, and, when the rule(s) is satisfied, routing the media stream data according to the rule(s).

  • Publication number: 20240144796
    Abstract: A method for routing media in a surveillance system comprises, at a gateway device placed on a local network deployed at a location being surveilled and having network connectivity to a cloud computing device, detecting networked device(s) placed on the local network, the networked device(s) comprising media device(s) each configured to generate media stream data as the location is being surveilled, determining a level of interest associated with the media stream data, obtaining, based on the detecting, at least one rule indicative of when the media stream data is to be routed, based on the level of interest, via the gateway device and when the media stream data is to be routed directly to the cloud computing device for processing, and instructing, based on the level of interest, at least one of the networked device(s) to route the media stream data according to the at least one rule.

  • Publication number: 20230336331
    Abstract: Technology permitting secure storage and transmission of data stream as well as tiered access to multiple data stream according to permission. Data streams may be encrypted using symmetric encryption performed with varying symmetric keys according to a key stream of symmetric keys. Native data may be discarded for safety. Whole or partial key streams may be encrypted using the public keys of authorized entities having permission to access respective data streams or portions thereof. Only the corresponding private keys can decrypt the encrypted key streams required to decrypt the encrypted data streams. Thus rigorous access control is provided. IT personnel accessing data stream files on a server or intruders maliciously obtaining files will not be able to derive the data stream. Sensitive data streams may be stored using cloud services despite inherent risks.

  • Publication number: 20230059826
    Abstract: In one aspect the present invention disclose system for recording and handling media for use as evidence in legal proceeding. In one other aspect the present invention discloses a device for recording media for use as evidence in legal proceedings. In another aspect the present disclosure provides a server also referred to herein as an evidence vault or vault for handling media from a media recording device for use as evidence in legal proceedings. The all three aspects the invention benefit from a double layer symmetrical and asymmetrical encryption method to protect the media recordings of the device, the server and the system as a whole as well as the transmission of media between different components.
