Intelligent media storage and upload system for transportation services
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11887386B1) outlines a computer-implemented method for capturing and analyzing digital videos associated with a transportation service provided by a vehicle. The method involves using rear-facing and forward-facing digital cameras to capture videos, detecting trigger events related to the transportation service, determining portions of the videos to be moved to another memory partition based on the trigger event, generating a media classification, assigning priority based on the classification, and initiating an upload to a remote server. The trigger events can include confrontation or reckless driving events, detected by analyzing the videos or motion data associated with the transportation service. Machine-learning models are applied to identify trigger events, and specific portions of the videos are selected based on timestamps and media duration.
Furthermore, the patent includes instructions for a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, enables the system to capture, analyze, and upload videos related to transportation services. The system can identify motion signals, analyze motion data, apply machine-learning models, and store videos in memory partitions based on storage trigger events. The system is designed to prioritize and upload specific video segments to a remote server, enhancing the monitoring and management of transportation services. Overall, the patent details a comprehensive method and system for efficiently handling digital video data in the context of transportation services, ensuring timely responses to trigger events and effective utilization of captured media.
