Abstract
A server configured to receive video clips from a mobile device, such as eyewear. The server has an electronic processor enabled to execute computer instructions to process the video clips to identify one or more characteristics in the frames of the video clips. The processor selects the video clips having the identified characteristics in the frames and creates a set of the selected video clips having the identified characteristics in the frames. The processor automatically trims the video clips based on frames that have the identified characteristics to create trimmed video clip segments, and then sends the trimmed video clip segments to the mobile device.
Claims17
A server having an electronic processor, the processor configured to execute computer instructions to:
- a) automatically receive a plurality of video clips each comprised of frames from a mobile device during a first time period;
- b) process the plurality of video clips to identify one or more characteristics in the frames of the plurality of video clips;
- c) create a set of selected video clips having the identified characteristics in the frames, the one or more characteristics comprising whether the video frames contain segments depicting pets, a specified object, human emotions, or human speech;
- d) automatically trim the set of selected video clips at the server responsive to a set of rules to create trimmed video clip segments, the set of rules specifying including portions of the selected video clips that include pets, the specified object, human emotions, or human speech, and delete other portions of the selected video clips that do not satisfy the set of rules and that have not been permanently saved by a user of the mobile device;
- e) create video highlights from the trimmed video clip segments based on a number of trimmed video clip segments, a combined length in time of the trimmed video clip segments, and user determined variables including at least one of time of day, frequency, and length of trimmed video clip segments;
- f) automatically send the video highlights created from the trimmed video clip segments to the mobile device at a selected time of day;
- g) repeat the step a) during a second time period after the first time period, wherein the first time period and the second time period have approximately the same durations;
- and
- h) repeat the steps b-f for the plurality of video clips received during the second time period.
