Abstract
A method and apparatus for storing and displaying information about the capture and/or transfer of digital media is provided, wherein data is stored such that a visual representation indicating characteristics of video data, such as whether portions of the video data have been transferred to another device or captured to a storage device, may be generated and displayed.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a client device, a media map data configured to identify a portion of a digital media item that has been backed up at full resolution in an external network location;
- presenting, on the client device, the digital media item simultaneously with a scrub bar, the scrub bar being configured to present, on a slider, a duration of the digital media item and a current playback position;
- and
- superimposing, on the client device, a media map on the scrub bar to visually identify the portion of the digital media item that is backed up at full resolution in the external network location on the scrub bar, wherein the media map is generated according to the media map data.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform the operations of:
- receiving, in a device, a media map data configured to identify a portion of a digital media item that has been backed up at full resolution in an external network location;
- presenting, on the device, the digital media item simultaneously with a scrub bar, the scrub bar being configured to present, on a slider, a duration of the digital media item and a current playback position;
- and
- superimposing, on the device, a media map on the scrub bar to visually identify the portion of the digital media item that is backed up at full resolution in the external network location on the scrub bar, wherein the media map is generated according to the media map data.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a communication interface for connecting to one or more external network locations;
- at least one memory storing instructions for controlling the processor to perform steps comprising:
- receiving a media map data configured to identify a portion of a digital media item that has been backed up at full resolution in an external network location;
- presenting the digital media item simultaneously with a scrub bar, the scrub bar being configured to present, on a slider, a duration of the digital media item and a current playback position;
- and
- superimposing a media map on the scrub bar to visually identify the backed up portion of the digital media item at full resolution in an external network location on the scrub bar, wherein the media map is generated according to the media map data.
