Forensic video recording with presence detection
At a high level, embodiments of the invention relate to augmenting video data with presence data derived from one or more proximity tags. More specifically, embodiments of the invention generate forensically authenticated recordings linking video imagery to the presence of specific objects in or near the recording. One embodiment of the invention includes video recording system comprising a camera, a wireless proximity tag reader, a storage memory and control circuitry operable to receive image data from the camera receive a proximity tag identifier identifying a proximity tag from the proximity tag reader, and store an encoded frame containing the image data and the proximity tag identity in the storage memory.
Apparatus for transmitting broadcast signals, apparatus for receiving broadcast signals, method for transmitting broadcast signals and method for receiving broadcast signals
A method of transmitting broadcast signals, includes link processing input packets to generate link layer packets, wherein a link layer packet of the link layer packets includes a header and a payload, wherein the payload of the link layer packet includes a segment of an input packet or concatenated input packets, wherein the header of the link layer packet includes a first field for identifying whether the payload includes the segment or the concatenated input packets, and wherein the header further includes a second field for identifying a number of the concatenated input packets and third fields that are inserted to the header in the same order as the concatenated input packets present in the payload in response to the first field representing that the payload includes the concatenated input packets; physical processing the link layer packets into the broadcast signals; and transmitting the broadcast signals.
