Title:
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING PLAYBACK OF CONTENT DURING AN ONGOING CAPTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/264045
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for enabling indexing and playback of media content before the end of a content capture. In one aspect, a method for enabling indexing of media data obtained as part of a content capture is disclosed. In one embodiment, the indexing enables playback of the media data during the capture and before cessation thereof. In one variant, the method includes generating an "SOS track" for one or more images. The SOS track does not contain the same information as a full index, but provides sufficient information to allow an index to be subsequently constructed. In one implementation, the provided information includes identifiable markers relating to video data, audio data, or white space, but it does not provide an enumerated or complete "table of contents" as in a traditional index.
