Use of Wireless Connection Loss to Facilitate Identifying and Recording Video Capture Location

A method comprising:

• receiving, into a computing system, video captured by a video camera operated by a videographer, wherein the computing system comprises at least one processor, and wherein receiving the video comprises receiving the video through a communication session with the videographer;
• identifying by the computing system a first device associated with the videographer, wherein the identifying is based on the communication session being with the videographer;
• based on the identifying, obtaining by the computing system, from the identified first device, location data indicating one or more locations where the first device and a second device lost wireless connectivity with each other;
• based on the indicating of the one or more locations, determining a location of the one or more locations to be a capture-location for the captured video;
• and
• recording the determined capture-location as capture-location metadata for the captured video.

A computing system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one data storage;
• program instructions stored in the at least one data storage and executable by the at least one processor to carry out functions including:
• using loss of wireless connectivity that occurred between a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module as a basis to determine a capture-location for a video captured by a video camera, wherein the first wireless communication module is disposed in a supplemental device associated with an operator of the video camera, and wherein using loss of wireless connectivity that occurred between the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module as a basis to determine the capture-location for the video captured by the video camera comprises (i) identifying the supplemental device based on an identity of the operator of the video camera, (ii) based on the identifying of the supplemental device, obtaining from the supplemental device location data indicating one or more locations where the first wireless communication module and second wireless communication module lost wireless connectivity with each other, and (iii) based on the indicating of the one or more locations, deeming a location of the one or more locations to be the capture-location;
• and
• recording the determined capture-location as capture-location metadata for the captured video.
