Abstract
A wearable camera includes: a storage section that stores therein video data of captured moving image; and a controller that adds a bookmark signal to the video data when an event included in the video data is detected, in which the bookmark signal indicates a location at which playback of the video data starts when the video data is played back.
Claims15
A wearable camera, comprising:
- a camera that initiates capturing of a moving image;
- a memory that stores therein a video data file of the moving image;
- and
- a controller that automatically adds a bookmark signal to the video data file each time a predetermined event is detected after initiating the capturing of the moving image by the camera, wherein
- the controller is configured to add a plurality of bookmark signals to the video data file, each of the plurality of bookmark signals corresponding to one of a plurality of event types,
- the plurality of event types including at least a special sound event type and an action event type,
- each of the plurality of bookmark signals indicates a location at which playback of a corresponding portion of the video data file starts, and
- the captured moving image is continuously recorded while the plurality of bookmark signals is added to the video data file.
A video playback system, comprising:
- a wearable camera that initiates capturing of a moving image;
- and
- a display apparatus that plays back a video data file of a moving image acquired by the wearable camera, wherein:
- the wearable camera, comprises:
- a memory that stores therein the video data file of the captured moving image;
- and
- a controller that automatically adds a bookmark signal to the video data file each time a predetermined event is detected after initiating the capturing of the moving image by the camera, wherein
- the controller is configured to add a plurality of bookmark signals to the video data file, each of the plurality of bookmark signals corresponding to one of a plurality of event types,
- the plurality of event types including at least a special sound event type and an action event type,
- each of the plurality of bookmark signal indicates a location at which playback of a corresponding portion of the video data file starts;
- and
- the display apparatus starts playback of the video data file from a location on the video data file indicated by a corresponding bookmark signal among the plurality of bookmark signals,
- wherein
- the captured moving image is continuously recorded while the plurality of bookmark signals is added to the video data file.
A video playback method for a video playback system including a wearable camera and a display apparatus that plays back a video data file of a moving image acquired by the wearable camera,
- the video playback method comprising:
- initiating, by the wearable camera, capturing of a moving image;
- storing, by the wearable camera, a video data file of the captured moving image;
- automatically adding, by the wearable camera, a bookmark signal to the video data file each time a predetermined event is detected after initiating the capturing of the moving image by the wearable camera, the bookmark signal indicating a location at which playback of the video data file starts, when the video data file is played back;
- and
- starting, by the display apparatus, playback of a portion of the video data file from a location on the video data file indicated by the bookmark signal,
- wherein
- a plurality of bookmark signals is added to the video data file, each of the plurality of bookmark signals corresponding to one of a plurality of event types,
- the plurality of event types including at least a special sound event type and an action event type,
- the captured moving image is continuously recorded while the plurality of bookmark signals is added to the video data file.
