Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method and system for utilizing a digital data capture device in conjunction with a Bluetooth (BT) enabled mobile device for publishing data and multimedia content on one or more websites automatically or with minimal user intervention. A client application is provided on the BT enabled mobile device. In the absence of inbuilt BT capability, a BT communication device is provided on the digital data capture device. The BT communication device is paired with the BT enabled mobile device to establish a connection. The client application detects capture of data and multimedia content on the digital data capture device and initiates transfer of the captured data, multimedia content, and associated files. The digital data capture device transfers the captured data, multimedia content, and the associated files to the client application. The client application automatically publishes the transferred data and multimedia content on one or more websites.

Claims

1. A method for acquiring and transferring data from a Bluetooth enabled data capture device to one or more web services, the method comprising:

providing a software module on the Bluetooth enabled data capture device;

establishing a pairing between the Bluetooth enabled data capture device and a Bluetooth enabled mobile device;

acquiring data in the Bluetooth enabled data capture device;

wherein the Bluetooth enabled mobile device is configured to receive the data and send it to the one or more web services, and wherein the one or more web services are configured to receive the data sent by the Bluetooth enabled mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein transferring the data further comprises:

configuring the data so that the data can be received and stored in its entirety by the Bluetooth enabled mobile device before the Bluetooth enabled mobile device sends the data to the one or more web services.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein transferring the data further comprises:

configuring the data so that one or more portions of the data can be received by the Bluetooth enabled mobile device and forwarded to the one or more web services.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the one or more portions of the data comprise a multimedia object.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein transferring the data further comprises:

providing a destination for the data being transferred from the Bluetooth enabled data capture device to the Bluetooth enabled mobile device, wherein the destination is the Bluetooth enabled mobile device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein transferring the data further comprises:

providing one or more destinations for the data being transferred from the Bluetooth enabled data capture device to the Bluetooth enabled mobile device, wherein the one or more destinations are the one or more web services.

7. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

configuring the data so that it can be received by the one or more web services, and reassembled if the segmented transfer protocol is used.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein Bluetooth capability is provided internally in the Bluetooth enabled data capture device.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein transferring the data further comprises:

segmenting the data into data segments and using segment identifiers if the segmented transfer protocol is used.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the data acquired in the Bluetooth enabled data capture device is captured data.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the captured data comprises one or more of audio data, video data, image data, text data, or digital data.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the data acquired in the Bluetooth enabled data capture device is data associated with captured data.
