| 1. A method, in a data processing system, for representing an input video data stream on a computing device, comprising:
receiving the input video data stream;
identifying a background image and at least one moving object in the input video data stream;
tracking at least one parameter of the at least one moving object over time in the input video data stream to thereby generate
tracking information;
determining user selected parameters for generation of a viewable video index, wherein the user selected parameters include
a bandwidth requirement for the computing device;
generating the viewable video index based on the user selected parameter, wherein the viewable video index identifies the
tracking information, the at least one moving object and the background image, and wherein generating the viewable video index
based on the user selected parameters includes determining at least one of an amount and a type of information that may be
included in the viewable video index based on the bandwidth requirement; and
transmitting the viewable video index to the computer device.
