AD HOC COLLABORATION NETWORK FOR CAPTURING AUDIO/VIDEO DATA
First Claim
1. A method, comprising operations of:
- authenticating a first user of a first mobile device and a second user of a second mobile device, wherein each of the mobile devices includes a video capturing device and wherein each user agrees or has previously agreed to share video data captured by the user with other authenticated users;
determining whether the first mobile device is located proximate to the second mobile device;
receiving video data captured by the second mobile device and transmitting the video data to the first mobile device for display along with an annotation indicating a location of the second mobile device relative to a location of the first mobile device, if the first mobile device is proximate to the second mobile device; and
receiving an indication from the first mobile device that at least some of the video data is to be indexed in a profile associated with the first user, wherein each operation is performed approximately in real time and is executed by one or more processors.

Abstract
Software authenticates a first user of a first mobile device and a second user of a second mobile device. Each of the mobile devices includes a video capturing device and each user agrees or has previously agreed to share video data captured by the user with other authenticated users. The software determines whether the first mobile device is located proximate to the second mobile device. Then the software receives video data captured by the second mobile device and transmits the video data to the first mobile device for display along with an annotation indicating the location of the second mobile device relative to the first mobile device, if the first mobile device is proximate to the second mobile device. The software receives an indication from the first mobile device that at least some of the video data is to be indexed in a profile associated with the first user.

18. A method, comprising operations of:
-
determining whether a first mobile device is located proximate to a second mobile device using wireless technology, wherein each of the mobile devices includes a video capturing device and wherein a user of each mobile device agrees or has previously agreed to share video data captured by the mobile device with other users who agree to share video data captured by their mobile devices; receiving and displaying, at the first mobile device, video data captured by the second mobile device, along with an annotation indicating the location of the second mobile device relative to the first mobile device, if the first mobile device is proximate to the second mobile device; and persistently storing at least some of the video data on the first mobile device upon receipt of a command from the user of the first mobile device, wherein each operation is performed approximately in real time and is executed by one or more processors. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
