Abstract

A method of recording activity at a wireless device is provided. The method includes receiving a record command, determining a user activity at the wireless device, and determining available memory at the wireless device. The method further includes recording the user activity to create a device recording at least partially based on the user activity and the available memory.

Claims

1. A method of recording activity at a wireless device, the method comprising:

receiving a record command;

determining a user activity at the wireless device;

determining an available memory at the wireless device; and

recording the user activity to create a device recording at least partially based on the user activity and the available memory.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user activity is recorded at a high rate, a medium rate, or a low rate.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the high rate is approximately thirty frames per second.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the medium rate is approximately ten frames per second.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the low rate is approximately two frames per second.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the user activity is recorded while the wireless device is in motion.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the user activity includes using a particular application, sending a text message, receiving a text message, sending an email, receiving an email, browsing a network, playing a game, moving the wireless device, or any combination thereof.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting the device recording to a remote device.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the remote device includes a remote server, another wireless device, or a combination thereof.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

labeling the device recording; and

storing the device recording.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the device recording is labeled with at least one of a time stamp, a date stamp, location coordinates, a device manufacturer name, a device model name, a service provider name, a memory size of the device recording, an application name, or an application developer name.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the device recording is stored locally at the wireless device, remotely at a remote device, or a combination thereof.

13. A wireless device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory accessible to the processor, wherein the memory comprises;

at least one instruction for receiving a record command;

at least one instruction for determining a user activity at the wireless device;

at least one instruction for determining an available memory at the wireless device; and

at least one instruction for recording the user activity to create a device recording at least partially based on the user activity and the available memory.

14. The wireless device of claim 13, wherein the user activity is recorded at a high rate, a medium rate, or a low rate.

15. The wireless device of claim 14, wherein the high rate is approximately thirty frames per second.

16. The wireless device of claim 14, wherein the medium rate is approximately ten frames per second.

17. The wireless device of claim 14, wherein the low rate is approximately two frames per second.

18. The wireless device of claim 13, wherein the user activity is recorded while the wireless device is in motion.

19. The wireless device of claim 13, wherein the user activity includes using a particular application, sending a text message, receiving a text message, sending an email, receiving an email, browsing a network, playing a game, moving the wireless device, or any combination thereof.

20. The wireless device of claim 13, further comprising:

at least one instruction for transmitting the device recording to a remote device.

21. The wireless device of claim 20, wherein the remote device includes a remote server, another wireless device, or a combination thereof.

22. The wireless device of claim 13, further comprising:

at least one instruction for labeling the device recording; and

at least one instruction for storing the device recording.

23. The wireless device of claim 22, wherein the device recording is labeled with at least one of a time stamp, a date stamp, location coordinates, a device manufacturer name, a device model name, a service provider name, a memory size of the device recording, an application name, or an application developer name.

24. The wireless device of claim 22, wherein the device recording is stored locally at the wireless device, remotely at a remote device, or a combination thereof

25. A wireless device, comprising:

means for receiving a record command;

means for determining a user activity at the wireless device;

means for determining an available memory at the wireless device; and

means for recording the user activity to create a device recording at least partially based on the user activity and the available memory.

26. The wireless device of claim 25, wherein the user activity is recorded at a high rate, a medium rate, or a low rate.

27. The wireless device of claim 26, wherein the high rate is approximately thirty frames per second.

28. The wireless device of claim 26, wherein the medium rate is approximately ten frames per second.
