Abstract: A DVM system is configured to include an incident trigger, which is actuated either manually or automatically in response to an “incident. In response to the actuation of the trigger, an incident identifier is defined. During the period of actuation, a plurality of recordings is automatically made, based on an incident recording protocol. These recordings are all associated with the incident identifier. The automation allows an operator to, at the time of the incident, focus on factors other than ensuring important video evidence is being recorded (such as following a subject through a building by looking at various cameras). The association streamlines subsequent review of an incident, as recordings relevant to the incident are commonly identifiable based on the incident identifier.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for managing video data. Embodiments are described by reference to a Digital Video Management (DVM) system, for example methods for providing a user with access to view live feed from cameras in a DVM system. In overview, a DVM system is configured to provide a user interface for allowing an operator to view a plurality of video display objects, wherein each display object is configured to display live video data captured at a camera of the DVM system. The user interface is further configured to provide access to one or more camera groups, wherein the one or more camera groups are respectively defined by dynamic parameters. The DVM system executes a process for updating the constituent cameras of each camera group responsive to changes in the dynamic parameters. For example, in one embodiment there is a camera group defined by cameras recently viewed by a particular client.

Abstract: DVM system is configured to include an incident trigger, which is actuated either manually or automatically in response to an “incident”. In the case of manual actuation, the definition of an incident may be subjectively determined by an operator (for example based on training and/or protocols). In the case of automatic actuation, an incident is defined by predefined criteria (for example a signal from analytics software, and alarm, or the like). In response to the actuation of the trigger, an incident identifier is defined. During the period of actuation, a plurality of recordings is automatically made, based on an incident recording protocol. These recordings are all associated with the incident identifier. The automation allows an operator to, at the time of the incident, focus on factors other than ensuring important video evidence is being recorded (such as following a subject through a building by looking at various cameras).

Abstract: A method includes receiving information defining at least one condition and at least one action associated with a rule. Each condition is associated with an event in an industrial process control and automation system, and each action is associated with information related to the event. The method also includes, based on actual events in the industrial process control and automation system, generating one or more notifications for one or more users of one or more mobile devices using the rule. The method further includes transmitting the one or more notifications for delivery to the one or more mobile devices.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for managing video data. Embodiments are described by reference to a Digital Video Management (DVM) system, for example methods for facilitating collaborative incident management. In overview, a DVM system provides a user interface, which is renderable at a plurality of client terminal. This allows an operator of each client to independently view DVM content items. In some cases the user interface is provided by components delivered to the clients via a web-server arrangement. The user interface is configured thereby to allow an operator of a first client terminal to provide a request to share a specified DVM content item with the operator of a second client terminal. In response to this request, the content item is delivered to the operator of the second client terminal.

Abstract: An approach for providing access to live video data from a plurality of cameras in a DVM system. The approach may incorporate maintaining, for each camera, data indicative of relatedness scores for one or more other cameras in the DVM system. The approach may also incorporate providing functionality via the user interface thus enabling convenient access to one or more cameras with highest relatedness scores for a camera that is currently being viewed by a user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing media items is disclosed. The method involves selecting a sub-set (106) of the media items (102), and concurrently displaying a spatial representation (606) and a temporal representation (610) of the selected sub-set. Using this starting point, a user can browse, using either a temporal control input (414) or a spatial control input (406), applied to the associated temporal or spatial display (610, 606 respectively), to modify the media item selection (106). The display corresponding to the non-selected navigation mode is automatically and contemporaneously changed to reflect the change in the media item selection.

Abstract: A method for use in annotating documents provided in a collection. The method comprises determining, an annotation gain for a number of document clusters, the annotation gain being at least partially indicative of the effect of annotating at least one document associated with the respective cluster. A recommendation can then be determined using the determined annotation gains, the recommendation being indicative of at least one cluster. An indication of the recommendation can then be provided.
