Method and system for peer-to-peer operation of multiple recording devices
First Claim
1. A method comprising, by a particular recording device in a peer-to-peer recording system comprising a plurality of networked recording devices:
- receiving a first status message from a first recording device of the plurality of networked recording devices, wherein the first status message comprises;
an indicator of a decision by the first recording device to initiate a first recording; and
a first recording identifier that is specific to the first recording;
determining to initiate a second recording on the particular recording device based, at least in part, on the first status message and configuration settings stored in memory on the particular recording device, wherein the configuration settings comprise a parameter related to whether the particular recording device will participate in group event recording;
initiating a second recording on the particular recording device responsive to the determining;
creating a second recording identifier that is specific to the second recording;
storing information related to the first recording identifier and the second recording identifier in a metadata file for the second recording; and
transmitting a second status message for receipt by other recording devices of the plurality of networked recording devices, the second status message comprising;
an indicator of a decision by the particular recording device to initiate the second recording; and
the second recording identifier.

Abstract
In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a first status message from a first recording device. The first status message includes a first recording identifier. The method further includes determining to initiate a second recording on a particular recording device based, at least in part, on the first status message and configuration settings. In addition, the method includes initiating a second recording on the particular recording device. Furthermore, the method includes creating a second recording identifier. The method also includes storing information related to the first recording identifier and the second recording identifier in a metadata file. Additionally, the method includes transmitting a second status message for receipt by other recording devices. The second status message includes the second recording identifier.
