Automated integration of video evidence with data records

A computer-implemented method for automated integration of digital media content with data records relating to events, the method comprising:

• detecting event data in a destination folder, wherein the event data is associated with a plurality of data records in a database, the detection is performed by a server computer, and the data records are associated with different events to which a law enforcement agency responded, and wherein the event data comprises different information for the different events to which the law enforcement agency responded, and wherein the event data associated with the plurality of data records in the database is exported from the database at a same time;
• in response to the detecting, uploading the event data to a service provider computer system, the uploading being performed by the server computer;
• by the service provider computer system, receiving metadata corresponding to a digital media content file, the digital media content file generated by a digital media device, the digital media device being separate from the server computer and the database, and wherein the event data is received by the service provider computer system separately from the metadata;
• by the service provider computer system, performing a comparison of at least a portion of the event data with at least a portion of the received metadata;
• by the service provider computer system, automatically identifying a matching event for the digital media content file based on the comparison, wherein the matching event is associated with at least one of the data records and not associated with a second data record of the plurality of data records for which the event data was detected in the destination folder and uploaded to the service provider computer system;
• by the service provider computer system after the matching event is identified, automatically modifying the received metadata based on event data associated with the matching event, the modification including adding or updating at least one field of the received metadata based on one or more values in the event data associated with the matching event.

A computer system for automatically integrating digital media content with data records relating to events, the computer system comprising a service provider computing device having one or more processors and computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions configured to cause the service provider computing device to:

• receive event data associated with a plurality of data records in a database, the event data including fields for each data record in the plurality of data records, one or more of the fields for each data record populated with a value generated from the database, the database stored separately from the service provider computing device at a location remote from the service provider computing device, and wherein the event data is received in a form of a summary generated from the plurality of data records in the database at a same time;
• receive metadata corresponding to a digital media content file, the digital media content file including digital media content, the digital media content recorded by a digital media device at a location of an incident, the metadata including a value generated by the digital media device, and wherein the event data is received by the service provider computing device separately from the metadata;
• perform a comparison of at least the value in one of the fields of the event data with at least the value in the metadata;
• based on the comparison, automatically identify a matching event for the digital media content file, wherein the matching event is associated with at least one of the data records;
• and
• after the matching event is identified, automatically modify the metadata based on event data associated with the matching event, wherein modifying the metadata includes adding or updating at least one field of the metadata based on one or more of the values in the fields of the event data associated with the matching event.

A computer-implemented method for automatically integrating digital media content with data records relating to events, the method comprising:

• receiving event data associated with a plurality of data records in a database, each data record associated with a particular incident, the event data includes different information for different incidents to which a law enforcement agency responded in a same database snapshot, and wherein the event data is received in a form of a summary of the plurality of data records in the database generated at once from the database;
• receiving metadata corresponding to a digital media content file, the metadata generated by a digital media device, the metadata including a value generated by the digital media device, wherein the digital media device is separate from a computer system, and wherein the event data is received by the computer system separately from the metadata;
• performing a comparison of at least a portion of the database snapshot of the event data with at least a portion of the metadata;
• based on the comparison, automatically identifying a matching event for the digital media content file, wherein the matching event is associated with at least one of the data records;
• and
• after the matching event is identified, automatically modifying the metadata based on event data associated with the matching event, wherein modifying the metadata includes adding to the metadata or updating the metadata based on the event data associated with the matching event.
