Systems and methods for information capture
First Claim
1. An information capture system, comprising:
- a sensor secured to an object configured to be involved with a possible event, the sensor configured to detect one or more stimuli that are associated with the possible event, and transmit a sensor signal indicating data corresponding to the one or more stimuli;
at least one other sensor secured to another object configured to be involved with another possible event, the at least one other sensor configured to detect one or more other stimuli that are associated with the another possible event, and transmit another sensor signal indicating data corresponding to the one or more other stimuli;
a recording device configured to record information responsive to a triggering event determined from the sensor signal, the another sensor signal, and a combination of the sensor signal and the another sensor signal; and
circuitry configured to indicate which of the sensors corresponding to the object or the another object detected the possible event or the another possible event that led to the triggering of the recording device to record the information.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are information capture systems and related methods. An information capture system includes a sensor secured to an object configured to be involved with a possible event. The sensor is configured to detect one or more stimuli that are associated with the possible event, and transmit a sensor signal indicating data corresponding to the one or more stimuli. The information capture system also includes a recording device configured to record information responsive to a triggering event determined from the sensor signal. A method includes analyzing sensor data from the sensor, determining, from the sensor data, that a triggering event occurred, and recording post-trigger information following the determination of the triggering event.

11. An information capture system, comprising:
-
a sensor configured to generate a detect signal responsive to detecting a potential use of a firearm by a law enforcement officer; at least one other sensor configured to generate at least one other detect signal responsive to detecting a potential use, by the law enforcement officer, of one or more devices selected from a pepper spray can, a pair of handcuffs, body armor, and a bullet-proof vest; a video recording device configured to record video images of the potential use of the firearm and store the video images in a data storage device of the video recording device; and circuitry configured to trigger the video recording device responsive to the detect signal; wherein; the circuitry is further configured to trigger the video recording device responsive to the at least one other detect signal; and the circuitry is further configured to indicate which of the sensors for the firearm, the pepper spray can, the handcuffs, the body armor, and the bullet-proof vest detected the potential use that led to the circuitry triggering the video recording device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
