## Abstract

A telepresence device may relay video, audio, and/or measurement data to a user operating a control device. A user interface may permit the user to quickly view and/or understand temporally and/or spatially disparate information. The telepresence device may pre-gather looped video of spatially disparate areas in an environment. A temporal control mechanism may start video playback at a desired point hi a current or historical video segment. Notations may be associated with time spans in a video and recalled by capturing an image similar to a frame in the time span of the video. An area of interest may be selected and video containing the area of interest may be automatically found. Situational data may be recorded and used to recall video segments of interest. The telepresence device may synchronize video playback and movement. A series of videos may be recorded at predetermined time intervals to capture visually trending information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer-readable instruction code for performing a method of contextually searching video from a telepresence device, the method comprising:
receiving the video from the telepresence device;
storing the video;
storing situational data for each of a plurality of video segments, wherein the situational data comprises at least one data element selected from the group consisting of a patient name, a procedure being performed, and a remote practitioner operating the telepresence device;
receiving an indication of a situation of interest from a user;
identifying one or more matching video segments corresponding to the situation of interest; and
providing indications of the one or more matching video segments to the user.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:
receiving a location-situation mapping from a local practitioner; and
determining the situational data from location data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein receiving an indication of a situation of interest comprises receiving a filter criterion, and wherein providing indications comprises providing indications identifying each video segment according to a situational data element corresponding to the filter criterion.
