Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions for generating an event video sequence. The method comprises receiving input image frames encoded into a sequence of image frames arranged in groups of pictures, each group of pictures having a GOP structure. The method further comprises storing a pre-event sequence of image frames in a first-in-first-out buffer, said pre-event sequence having a first predetermined GOP structure, upon receiving an event notification, retrieving the pre-event sequence from the buffer, and generating the event video sequence by combining the pre-event sequence and a post-event sequence of image frames, said post-event sequence having a second GOP structure, which is different from said first GOP structure. The system may be included in a camera.

Abstract: Invention regards a method for managing a potential emergency situation, the method comprising: storing (10) information regarding a user (20) of a support service (42), activating (11) an interaction session between the user of a support service and an intermediary (50), determining (12) and storing (13) geographical position of a portable communication device (22) associated with the user, activating collecting (14) of at least one type of information by the user and/or establishing communication (15) between the user and the intermediary, storing this information (16, 17), requesting (18) an alarm such that a connection between the user (20) and an entity of interest(40) is established and simultaneously therewith sending at least a first electronic message (21) from the portable communication device (22) to the intermediary (50), and presenting at least a portion of the stored information content at least to the entity of interest (40).

Abstract: A method of generating an event video sequence is disclosed. The method comprises receiving input image frames encoded into a sequence of image frames arranged in groups of pictures, each group of pictures having a GOP structure. The method further comprises storing a pre-event sequence of image frames in a first-in-first-out buffer, said pre-event sequence having a first predetermined GOP structure, upon receiving an event notification, retrieving the pre-event sequence from the buffer, and generating the event video sequence by combining the pre-event sequence and a post-event sequence of image frames, said post-event sequence having a second GOP structure, which is different from said first GOP structure. A system for generating an event video sequence is also disclosed, as well as a camera comprising such a system, and a computer program product with instructions adapted to carry out the method when executed by a processor.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic device and a method for updating firmware in a number of electronic devices connected to a data network. First, a firmware in a first electronic device of said plurality of electronic devices is configured. Then, a firmware update file is generated in said first electronic device, based upon said configured firmware by using a firmware update file generator. Next, the firmware update file is transmitted from the first electronic device to a number of electronic devices via a data network. Finally, the firmware is updated in the number of electronic devices by executing said firmware update file in each of the electronic devices.
