METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING AND REPORTING MINIMALLY NECESSARY REAL-TIME PERSONAL CONTEXT
First Claim
1. A method for collecting and reporting varying levels of real-time personal context of a user, the method comprising:
- collecting and storing, by a wireless computing device during a first period of time, one or more first personal context information elements associated with the user and having a lower privacy impact but not reporting the one or more first personal context information elements associated with the user via wireless transmission to an infrastructure network;
making a first determination, by the wireless computing device via the one or more first personal context information elements or via wireless reception, that there is an increased probability of an incident occurring near the user and responsively, for a second period of time after the first determination;
continuing to collect, by the wireless computing device, the one or more first personal context information elements and reporting the one or more first personal context information elements collected during the first and second periods of time via wireless transmission to the infrastructure network; and
beginning collecting and storing, by the wireless computing device, one or more second personal context information elements not collected during the first period of time and having a higher privacy impact but not reporting the one or more second personal context information elements via wireless transmission to the infrastructure network.

Abstract
A wireless computing device collects and reports minimally necessary real-time personal context of a user. During a first period of time, collecting and storing one or more first personal context information elements associated with the user but not reporting them via wireless transmission. In response to determining that there is an increased probability of an incident occurring near the user, for a second period of time: continuing to collect the first personal context information elements and reporting them all via wireless transmission, and beginning collecting and storing second personal context information elements not collected during the first period of time but not reporting second personal context information elements via wireless transmission.

14. A wireless computing device for collecting and reporting varying levels of real-time personal context of a user, the device comprising:
-
one or more wireless transceivers; a data store; and one or more electronic processors configured to; collect and store, in the data store, one or more first personal context information elements associated with the user but not reporting the one or more first personal context information elements associated with the user and having a lower privacy impact via wireless transmission to an infrastructure network using the one or more wireless transceivers; make a first determination, via the one or more first personal context information elements or via wireless reception over the one or more wireless transceivers, that there is an increased probability of an incident occurring near the user and responsively, for a second period of time after the first determination; continue to collect the one or more first personal context information elements and reporting the one or more first personal context information elements collected during the first and second periods of time via wireless transmission using the one or more wireless transceivers to the infrastructure network; and begin to collect and store, in the data store, one or more second personal context information elements not collected during the first period of time and having a higher privacy impact but not reporting the one or more second personal context information elements via wireless transmission using the one or more wireless transceivers to the infrastructure network. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a set of functions for collecting and reporting varying levels of real-time personal context of a user, the set of functions comprising:
-
collecting and storing, in a data store, one or more first personal context information elements associated with the user and having a lower privacy impact but not reporting the one or more first personal context information elements associated with the user via wireless transmission to an infrastructure network; making a first determination, via the one or more first personal context information elements or via wireless reception, that there is an increased probability of an incident occurring near the user and responsively, for a second period of time after the first determination; continuing to collect the one or more first personal context information elements and reporting the one or more first personal context information elements collected during the first and second periods of time via wireless transmission to the infrastructure network; and begin to collect and store, in the data store, one or more second personal context information elements not collected during the first period of time and having a higher privacy impact but not reporting the one or more second personal context information elements via wireless transmission to the infrastructure network.
