Abstract
A command is transmitted from a mobile computing device to a camera external to the mobile computing device. The command instructs the camera to capture video data of a canine sniff inspection of a parcel. The video data of the canine sniff inspection is obtained at the mobile computing device from the camera. The video data is compressed at the mobile computing device, to obtain compressed video data. The compressed video data is transmitted from the mobile computing device to a remote computing system.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- transmitting, from a mobile computing device to a camera external to the mobile computing device, a command to capture video data;
- obtaining, at the mobile computing device from the camera, the video data, wherein the video data comprises video data of a canine sniff inspection of a parcel;
- obtaining, at the mobile computing device, auxiliary data characterizing the canine sniff inspection;
- at the mobile computing device, compressing the video data, to obtain compressed video data;
- transmitting, from the mobile computing device to a remote computing system:
- the compressed video data,
- the auxiliary data, and
- an association between the auxiliary data and the compressed video data;
- and
- generating, at the remote computing system, an inspection log, wherein generating the inspection log comprises:
- identifying a first plurality of fields in the auxiliary data, the first plurality of fields storing a corresponding plurality of values,
- accessing a stored correspondence between the first plurality of fields in the auxiliary data and a second plurality of fields in the inspection log, and
- based on the stored correspondence, filling the second plurality of fields in the inspection log with corresponding values from the first plurality of fields.
A computer-implemented system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer memory devices interoperably coupled with the one or more processors and having tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- transmitting, from a mobile computing device to a camera external to the mobile computing device, a command to capture video data;
- obtaining, at the mobile computing device from the camera, the video data, wherein the video data comprises video data of a canine sniff inspection of a parcel;
- obtaining, at the mobile computing device, auxiliary data characterizing the canine sniff inspection;
- at the mobile computing device, compressing the video data, to obtain compressed video data;
- and
- transmitting, from the mobile computing device to a remote computing system:
- the compressed video data,
- the auxiliary data, and
- an association between the auxiliary data and the compressed video data;
- and
- generating, at the remote computing system, an inspection log, wherein generating the inspection log comprises:
- identifying a first plurality of fields in the auxiliary data, the first plurality of fields storing a corresponding plurality of values,
- accessing a stored correspondence between the first plurality of fields in the auxiliary data and a second plurality of fields in the inspection log, and
- based on the stored correspondence, filling the second plurality of fields in the inspection log with corresponding values from the first plurality of fields.
