Methods, systems, and apparatuses capture event video segments from an IoT device such as a dashcam in a vehicle. When an even is detected, the original resolution video segment is converted to a low resolution video segment and stored in a cloud backend. Some embodiments thus save bandwidth and storage space by transmitting low resolution video segment to the cloud backend and further save bandwidth and storage space by only storing video in the cloud backend when an event is detected. Bandwidth is also saved because, in some embodiments, original resolution video segments are stored on the IoT device and only transmitted to a reviewer when requested. In the cloud backend, the low resolution video segment is converted to a higher resolution video using a deep learning video upscaler before it is reviewed by a reviewer. A human reviewer can also review the original resolution video segment that is stored on the IoT device if it is desired to see the video segment in its original resolution. In some embodiments, a reviewer can request that an area of interest in the video segment being reviewed is upscaled. In such embodiments the entire low resolution video segment is not always upscaled in its entirety before review.

Optimizing video data upload for dashcam event reviews

Electronic device

One embodiment sets forth a method for modifying video content stored on a hand-held digital video camera (DVC). The method includes transmitting video data to a computer system to which the hand-held DVC is coupled via a data connector, receiving a request for a set of instructions related to a processing operation being performed on the computer system and involving the video data, transmitting the set of instructions to the computer system via the data connector. The method also includes drawing power from the computer system via the data connector and charging at least in part a battery associated with the hand-held DVC with the power drawn from the computer system, where the hand-held DVC remains coupled to the computer system via the data connector for the steps of transmitting, receiving, drawing and charging.

Charging and use scheme for a hand-held electronics device

One embodiment of the invention sets forth a hand-held electronics device for recording digital video that includes a housing, a processor disposed within the housing, and a data connector coupled to the processor such that data can be transmitted to and from the processor through the data connector. The data connector includes an arm rotationally coupled to the housing, and an adapter portion matable with a corresponding adapter of a computer system. The data connector forms a portion of a top part or a bottom part of the housing when in a retracted position. Among other things, the disclosed hand-held electronics device advantageously enables a user to easily, with one hand, hold the hand-held electronics device and slide the trigger with a thumb or other finger to release the data connector into the extended position.
