Abstract

A system for identifying, tagging, and displaying one or more assets within an audio visual (AV) file includes an asset tagging server, an asset tag acquisition device, and a database, wherein the asset tag acquisition device includes an asset identification engine configured to receive an asset identification data set and generate an asset tag data file that includes an asset tag corresponding to each asset. The asset tagging server is configured to receive, from an AV capture device, an AV file that includes an AV representation of each asset and corresponding timestamp data, and store,in the database, an AV asset tag data file comprising the beginning timestamp, the endingtime stamp, and the set of asset tags. The system further includes a scene generation server configured to receive, from an editing display system, a set of asset parameters, search the database to identify one or more AV asset tag data files that correspond to the setof asset parameter, and display, on a user interface, the identified AV asset tag data files together with corresponding thumbnail images.

Claims

1. A system for identifying and tagging one or more assets within an audio visual (AV) file comprising: an asset tagging server, an asset tag acquisition device, and a database; wherein the asset tag acquisition device comprises an asset identification engine, the asset identification engine is configured to receive an asset identification data set and generate an asset tag data file comprising an asset tag corresponding to each asset; and the asset tagging server comprises a processor and a computer readable media with a software program embedded thereon, the software program configured to: receive, from an AV capture device, an AV file comprising anAV representation of each asset, a beginning timestamp, and an ending timestamp; receive,from the asset identification engine, the asset tag data file corresponding to the AV file; store, in the database, an AV asset tag data file comprising the beginning timestamp, the ending time stamp, and the set of asset tags. 7. A method for identifying and tagging assets within an AV file comprising: receiving, from an AV capture device, an AV file comprising AV content including AV representations of one or more assets, a beginning timestamp, and an ending timestamp; identifying, with an asset tag acquisition device, the one or more assets; generating, for each asset, a corresponding asset tag; generating an AV asset tag data file comprising the beginning timestamp, the ending timestamp, and the corresponding asset tags; and storing the AV asset tag data file in a database. 12. A system for displaying AV data sets, comprising: a scene generation server and a database, the database comprising a set of AV asset tag data files; wherein the scene generation server comprises a processor and a computer readable media with a software program embedded thereon, the software program configured to: receive, from an editing display system, a set of asset parameters; search the database to identify one or more AV asset tag data files that correspond to the set of asset parameter. 17. A method for displaying AV data sets comprising: receiving, from an editing display system, a set of asset parameters; generating an asset tag query based on the set of asset parameters; generating a list of relevant AV asset tag data files based on the asset tag query; and displaying, on a user interface, one or more AV asset tag data files selected from the list of relevant AV tag data files.
