Method for collecting media associated with a mobile device
First Claim
1. A method performed at a computing system, comprising:
- receiving, without user interaction, video data and audio data captured via a plurality of distributed video devices configured to monitor one or more vicinities;
receiving a first request from a mobile device for a media collection service;
in response to the first request, determining, without user interaction, a user of a mobile device to be within a proximity of the plurality of distributed video devices;
in accordance with a determination that the user is within the proximity of the plurality of distributed video devices;
identifying, without user interaction, video data and audio data in which the user of the mobile device appears; and
storing the identified video data and the audio data to the computing system;
receiving a second request from the user of the mobile device to access the identified video data and the audio data; and
in response to the second request, transmitting the identified video data and the audio data to the user.

Abstract
A media collection system (102) uses media collection devices (107) to record media in the vicinity of a mobile device (104). A method (300) for collecting media associated with a user of a mobile device (104) includes the mobile device detecting (304) a broadcast signal from a communication node of the media collection system (102) at a radio interface of the mobile device. Then the mobile device requests (308) a media collection service of the media collection system. In response, the mobile device receives (314) an access identifier from the media collection system. The access identifier can be used to access media collected by the media collection system. The mobile device can then cease a self-collection activity while in the vicinity of the media collection system.

14. A system for collecting and displaying media, comprising:
-
a media recording device configured to capture video data and audio data of one or more locations at which the media recording device is placed; and a computing system communicatively coupled to the media recording device, the computing system configured to; receive, without user interaction, the captured video data and the audio data from the media recording device via a wireless network; receive a first request from a mobile device for a media collection service; in response to the first request, determine, without user interaction, a user of the mobile device to be within a proximity of the plurality of distributed video devices; in accordance with a determination that the user is within the proximity of the plurality of distributed video devices; identify, without user interaction, video data and audio data in which associated with the user of the mobile device appears; and store the identified video data and the audio data together with a user account associated with a user of the mobile device; receive a second request, via the computing system, from the user of the mobile device to access the identified video data and the audio data; and in response to the second request, transmit the identified video data and the audio data to the user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
