Augmenting video data with presence data from proximity tags
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11817130B2) discloses a method and system for associating image data with proximity. The method involves receiving image data from recording devices and proximity tag data from a proximity tag reader, which includes signal strength information indicating the position of the proximity tag relative to the reader. Frames of the image data are then augmented with portions of the signal strength information corresponding to specific times, allowing for the association of image data with proximity information.
The patent claims cover various applications of this method, including scenarios where the proximity tag is associated with law enforcement officers, vehicles, or service weapons. The system described includes image data recording devices, a proximity tag reader, a proximity tag, and computer-readable media storing instructions for executing the method. Additional features include parsing metadata, generating digital signatures for image frames, and storing video files in tamper-resistant formats to prevent editing or erasure. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to associating image data with proximity information, with potential applications in security, surveillance, and law enforcement contexts.
