Latest Patents
One of DaSilva's latest patents is a rule-based digital video recorder. This invention provides methods for managing the overwriting of existing stored video data with new incoming video data by prioritizing all video categories and establishing rules for each level of priority. The methods are based upon the classification or prioritization of each video segment into discrete categories. Rules are established for each particular category. As incoming video arrives, a two-part filtering system is used to identify which existing video will be overwritten. First, video in the lowest priority category is identified. Then, the retention rules are applied to the identified video in the category to determine whether it can be overwritten. This two-step filtering process is repeated for each category from lowest to highest until sufficient space is made available to receive the incoming video. The prioritization of the categories may be changed in real time by the user, according to the value or importance of any particular existing stored video in order to preserve it.
Another notable patent is the digital video recorder file system. This method involves storing video data files upon an array of multiple storage devices on a frame-by-frame basis. Larger video frames are placed upon devices having more free storage capacity to preserve the video data stream continuity, optimize the capacity of the storage devices within the array, minimize or negate the need for any redundant storage, and provide a means for easily expanding the overall storage capacity of the array.
