Abstract

A method of enabling a user to access recorded data associated with an event, the method comprising determining the location of a user'"'"'s device at a control unit, confirming the location is within a predetermined vicinity and that the user'"'"'s device was at the location within a predetermined period and the control unit enabling access for the user to the data if the location of the user'"'"'s device in the predetermined period is confirmed.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. A method of providing access to data associated with one or more events, the method comprising:

receiving a first request for a first portion of stored data associated with an event;

receiving a second request for a second portion of the stored data;

determining a time window associated with the stored data, the time window being determined based on at least one of a time of the first request or a time of the second request;

generating, for the first request and the second request, a media file including data from the stored data within the time window; and

providing at least one of a device for a first user or at least one additional device for a second user with access to the media file for the time window associated with the stored data.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the time window includes a first time before the time of the first request and a second time after the time of the first request.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the time window includes a first time before the time of the first request and a second time after the time of the second request.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the time window includes a first time before the time of the second request and a second time after the time of the second request.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the time window includes a first time before the time of the second request and a second time after the time of the first request.

7. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

determining a location of at least one of the device or the least one additional device was within a predetermined vicinity coincident with the event within a time period associated with the event; and

providing at least one of the device for the first user or the at least one additional device for the second user with access to the media file for the time window associated with the stored data based on determining that at least one of the device or the least one additional device was at the location within the time period.

8. The method of claim 2, wherein the stored data is based on a video of at least part of the event captured by at least one camera of the device, the at least one camera being located at a location of the event.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the device is a mobile device.

10. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

determining a number of requests associated with one or more portions of the stored data;

selecting one or more clips from the stored data to include in a collection of clips, the one or more clips being selected based on the number of requests; and

providing at least one of the device or the at least one additional device with access to the collection of clips.

11. The method of claim 2, wherein the stored data is stored in storage configured to store data for a period of time, and further comprising:

transferring, to a memory, at least some of the stored data stored in the storage at the time of at least one of the first request or the second request; and

storing, in the memory, subsequent data obtained after the first request or the second request.

12. The method of claim 2, wherein the access to the stored data is provided to at least one of the device or the at least one additional device by a link.

13. The method of claim 2, wherein the time window associated with the stored data is configurable based on one or more additional requests.

14. The method of claim 2, wherein the time window associated with the stored data is determined based on a location of the device.

15. The method of claim 2, wherein the first portion of the stored data and the second portion of the stored data are a same portion of the stored data.

16. The method of claim 2, wherein the first portion of the stored data is different from the second portion of the stored data.

17. An apparatus for providing access to data associated with one or more events, comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory accessible to the processor, the memory storing instructions, which upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations to;

obtain a first request for a first portion of stored data associated with an event;

obtain a second request for a second portion of the stored data;

determine a time window associated with the stored data, the time window being determined based on at least one of a time of the first request or a time of the second request;

generate, for the first request and the second request, a media file including data from the stored data within the time window; and

provide at least one of a device for a first user or at least one additional device for a second user with access to the media file for the time window associated with the stored data.

18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the time window includes one of a first time before the time of the first request and a second time after the time of the first request, a first time before the time of the first request and a second time after the time of the second request, a first time before the time of the second request and a second time after the time of the second request, or a first time before the time of the second request and a second time after the time of the first request.

19. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the first portion of the stored data and the second portion of the stored data are a same portion of the stored data.

20. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the first portion of the stored data is different from the second portion of the stored data.

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

obtain a first request for a first portion of stored data associated with an event;

obtain a second request for a second portion of the stored data;

determine a time window associated with the stored data, the time window being determined based on at least one of a time of the first request or a time of the second request;

generate, for the first request and the second request, a media file including data from the stored data within the time window; and

provide at least one of a device for a first user or at least one additional device for a second user with access to the media file for the time window associated with the stored data.
