US Patent 9313556 User interface for video summaries

In one embodiment, the User Interface (UI) provides a live stream from the webcam, with markers on the side indicating the stored, detected important events (such as by using a series of bubbles indicating how long ago an event occurred). The indicators are marked to indicate the relative importance, such as with color coding. Upon selection of an indicator by the user, the time-lapse summary is displayed, along with a time of day indication. Alternately, the user can select to have a time-lapse display of all the events in sequence, using a more condensed time lapse, with less important events having less time or being left out.
