Abstract
A method of capturing a video clip in a single ‘click’ is provided herein. The method includes the following steps: capturing a multimedia file; obtaining kinematic data related to the capturing; indicating, by a user action, a snapshot moment, being a timestamp, on the multimedia file; applying a decision function, wherein the decision function receives as an input at least one of: the captured multimedia file, the snapshot moment, and the kinematic data and yields as an output: a start point, being a timestamp on the multimedia file that precedes the snapshot moment and an end point, being a timestamp that follows the snapshot moment.
Claims34
A method comprising:
- capturing a multimedia file;
- obtaining kinematic data related to the capturing;
- indicating, by a user action, a snapshot moment, being a timestamp, on the multimedia file;
- and
- applying a decision function, wherein the decision function receives as an input at least one of:
- the captured multimedia file, the snapshot moment, and the kinematic data and yields as an output:
- a start point, being a timestamp on the multimedia file that precedes the snapshot moment and an end point, being a timestamp that follows the snapshot moment.
A system comprising:
- a capturing device configured to capture a multimedia file;
- a motion sensor physically coupled to the capturing device configured to obtain kinematic data related to the capturing;
- a user interface configured to indicate a snapshot moment, being a timestamp, on the multimedia file responsive to a user action;
- and
- a computer processor configured to apply a decision function, wherein the decision function receives as an input at least one of:
- the captured multimedia file, the snapshot moment, and the kinematic data and yields as an output:
- a start point, being a timestamp on the multimedia file that precedes the snapshot moment and an end point, being a timestamp that follows the snapshot moment.
