METHOD FOR OBTAINING VIDEO CONTENT FROM CAMERAS WHICH RELATES TO A USER OF A COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining video recordings related to a user who has a communication device capable of connecting to a wireless communications network and whose position can be determined, which method comprises the following:
- determining the position of the spot where said communication device is located,determining whether there is at least one camera capable of providing video recordings, a part of an observation area that might include said determined spot, which is accessible via said communications network,in the event that such a camera is determined, determining whether the camera offers an observation area that includes said determined position, and if sotransmitting to said communication device, via said communications network, at least one portion of a video recording made by that camera during said communication device is in its observation area.

Abstract
A method is dedicated to the obtaining of video recordings related to a user who has a communication device (EC) capable of connecting to a wireless communications network (RC) and whose position is determinable. This method comprises the following steps: (i) determining the position of the spot where the communication device (EC) is located, (ii) determining whether there is at least one camera (C1) capable of providing video recordings, of a part of an observation area that may include that determined spot, accessible via the communications network (RC), and (iii) in the event that such a camera (C1) is determined, transmitting to the communication device (EC), via the communications network (RC), at least a portion of a video recording made by that camera (C1) while the communication device (EC) is in its observation zone.

- 20. An apparatus for obtaining video recordings made by cameras, for a communication device capable of connecting to a wireless communications network and whose position is determinable, said apparatus comprising search means operative to determine whether there is at least one camera capable of providing video recordings, a part of an observation area that may include a spot where said communication device is located, accessible via said communications network, and processing means operative, in the event that such a camera is determined, to request the transmission to said communication device, via said communications network, of at least a portion of a video recording made by said camera determined while said communication device is within its observation area.
