Abstract

A method and system for capturing media data using an Body Area Network, BAN, wherein the BAN comprises a BAN enabled media capturing device associated with a first user and at least one BAN enabled communication device associated with a second user, wherein a BAN link is established through the body of the second user between the capturing device and the communication device, when the second user touches the capturing device, settings, related to capturing media data and related to said second user, are downloaded to the capturing device by using the established BAN link and media data is captured with the capturing device by using the downloaded settings wherein the capturing is triggered by the second user.

Claims

1. A method for capturing media data using an Body Area Network, BAN, wherein said BAN comprises a BAN enabled media capturing device associated with a first user and at least one BAN enabled communication device associated with a second user, wherein said method comprising:

establishing a BAN link through the body of said second user between said capturing device and said communication device, when said second user touches said capturing device;

downloading settings, related to capturing media data and related to said second user, to said capturing device by using said established BAN link; and

capturing media data with said capturing device by using said downloaded settings wherein the capturing is triggered by the second user.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method comprising transmitting said captured media data from said capturing device to said communication device by using a communication network.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said downloaded settings comprises media capture history related to said second user.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein said media data is any of an image, a film, sound or a combination thereof.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein capturing media data comprising:

downloading a media capturing application to said media capturing device by using a communication network; and

capturing said media data by activating an instance of said capturing application.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method comprising:

adding metadata to said captured media data.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein said metadata comprising identification information of said second user.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein said metadata comprising security information.

9. The method according to claim 6, wherein said metadata comprising any of time, location or a combination thereof.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method comprising:

setting restriction of access to said capturing device.

11. A system for capturing media data using a Body Area Network, BAN, wherein said system comprises a BAN enabled media capturing device associated with a first user and at least one BAN enabled communication device associated with a second user wherein said media capturing device comprising:

a processing circuitry configured to;

i. establishing a BAN link through the body of said second user between said capturing device and said communication device, when said second user touches said capturing device; and

ii. downloading settings, related to capturing media data and related to said second user, to said capturing device by using said established BAN link,

a media capturing unit configured to capturing media data by using said downloaded settings wherein the capturing is triggered by said second user,

wherein said communication device comprising;

a processing circuitry configured to;

i. establishing said BAN link through the body of said second user between said communication device and said capturing device, when said second user touches said capturing device; and

ii. transmitting settings, related to capturing media data and related to said second user, to said capturing device by using said established BAN link.

12. The system according to claim 11, wherein said processing circuitry of said capturing device is configured to transmit said captured media data from said capturing device to said communication device by using a communication network.

13. The system according to claim 11, wherein said settings comprise media capture history related to said second user.

14. The system according to claim 11, wherein said media data is any of an image, a film, sound or a combination thereof.

15. The system according to claim 11, wherein said processing circuitry of said capturing device is configured to downloading a media capturing application to said media capturing device by using a communication network and said media capturing unit is configured to capturing said media data by using said capturing application.

16. The system according to claim 11, wherein said processing circuitry of said capturing device is configured to adding metadata to said captured media data.

17. The system according to claim 16, wherein said metadata comprising identification information of said second user.

18. The system according to claim 16, wherein said metadata comprising security information.

19. The system according to claim 16, wherein said metadata comprising any of time, location or a combination thereof.

20. The system according to claim 11, wherein said processing circuitry is configured to setting restriction of access to said capturing device.
