For example, in order to reduce the size and achieve flexible control, the user interface 140 of the information capturing device 10 is implemented by a wheel-type control method, as shown in fig. 8, the information capturing device 10 has a wheel 14, a camera 15, a display lamp 16 and a button 17 (an activation module 170). By way of example, the police officer makes the information capturing device 10 generate a plurality of options for the wheel 14 according to steps S210-S220, wherein the classification definition represented by the first level is a murder incident, the classification definition represented by the second level is a robbery incident, and the classification definition represented by the third level is a traffic accident incident. When receiving a report call, it indicates that a robbery is occurring, and when the police personnel arrives at the scene of the robbery, the button 17 is pressed to generate a trigger signal, the control unit 120 responds to the trigger signal to drive the capturing module 150 to start executing an information capturing program, such as: the photographing lens 15 starts to start photographing. Before the police officer finishes recording, the rotating wheel 14 of the information acquisition device 10 rotates to an angle of 15 degrees to represent a selection instruction of a selection level one, and the display lamp 16 flashes once. Next, when the wheel 14 rotates to an angle of 30 degrees, it represents a selection command of the selection level two, and the display lamp 16 flashes twice to complete the selection command. Finally, the robbery event is processed, the button 17 is pressed to stop shooting, and a section of video and audio data (recording information) is generated, and meanwhile, the control unit 120 marks the robbery event on the video and audio information.

Optionally, the step of generating a plurality of options of the user interface according to the received event classification table includes: replacing an originally used event classification table with a received event classification table, wherein the number of a plurality of event marks of the received event classification table is different from that of the event marks of the originally used event classification table; a number of options are provided by the user interface based on the replaced event classification table.

Herein, the number of event markers of the received event classification table is different from the number of event markers of the originally used event classification table.

After replacing the received event classification table with the original event classification table, several options are provided by the user interface 140 based on the replaced event classification table. Here, since the number of the event tags of the received event classification table is different from the number of the event tags of the originally used event classification table, the number of the options at this time is also different from the original number of the options. For example, the original information capturing device includes a first group of personnel-specific event classification tables, and when the information capturing device is handed to a second group of personnel for use, the first group of personnel-specific event classification tables can be replaced by the second group of personnel-specific event classification tables, so that the utilization rate of the information capturing device can be improved. In some embodiments, step S222 is implemented by an Overloading program (Overloading). Here, the reload refers to loading and updating the execution program of the information capturing device 10 after rebooting.

Next, the information retrieving device 10 replaces the currently used event classification table, i.e. the second event classification table, with the first event classification table. Herein, the second event classification table has a plurality of second event markers. Instead, the event classification table currently used by the information capturing device 10 becomes the first event classification table.

S330, providing options for marking each first event by the user interface based on the first event classification table.

Next, user interface 140 provides the option of tagging each first event based on the first event classification table.

In this embodiment, the number of the first event markers is different from the number of the second event markers. In other words, the first event classification table and the second event classification table have different numbers of event markers. Therefore, after the setting of the information capturing device 10 according to the setting method of the information capturing device is completed, the user interface of the information capturing device 10 can provide a different number of options than before the setting is completed.
