Abstract

The invention relates to a method for sending environmental data by means of a mobile terminal device, comprising the the steps of detecting said environmental data, evaluating said environmental data, determining if said evaluated environmental data is to be sent, and sending said environmental data in case of an affirmative determination.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

detecting environmental data at a mobile terminal device;

evaluating said environmental data at said mobile terminal device;

determining, at said mobile terminal device, if said evaluated environmental data is to be sent based, at least in part, on an evaluation of said environmental data based on a contextual location of the mobile terminal device;

determining to send, from said mobile terminal device to a service, said environmental data in case of an affirmative determination; and

receiving processed environmental data based, at least in part, on said environmental data from the service.
