Personal mobile surveillance systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- acquiring, by a mobile user device subsystem during operation in accordance with a normal surveillance mode, a first set of surveillance data;
transmitting, by the mobile user device subsystem during operation in accordance with the normal surveillance mode, the first set of surveillance data to a server subsystem;
detecting, by the mobile user device subsystem during operation in accordance with the normal surveillance mode, a trigger event that includes a change in usage of resources of the mobile user device subsystem;
determining, by the mobile user device subsystem in response to the detecting of the trigger event and based on the change in the usage of the resources of the mobile user device subsystem, that there are not sufficient available resources of the mobile user device subsystem for operation in accordance with an enhanced surveillance mode;
stopping, by the mobile user device subsystem in response to the determining that there are not sufficient available resources, one or more processes operating by way of the mobile user device subsystem to ensure that there are sufficient resources to operate in the enhanced surveillance mode;
transitioning, by the mobile user device subsystem after stopping the one or more processes, from operation in accordance with the normal surveillance mode to operation in accordance with the enhanced surveillance mode;
acquiring, by the mobile user device subsystem during operation in accordance with the enhanced surveillance mode, a second set of surveillance data; and
transmitting, by the mobile user device subsystem during operation in accordance with the enhanced surveillance mode, the second set of surveillance data to the server subsystem;
wherein the second set of surveillance data comprises an enhanced set of data compared to the first set of surveillance data.

17. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a server subsystem from a mobile user device subsystem operating in accordance with a normal surveillance mode, a first set of surveillance data; storing, by the server subsystem, the first set of surveillance data; detecting, by the server subsystem based on the first set of surveillance data, a predefined trigger event that includes a change in usage of resources of the mobile user device subsystem; determining, by the server subsystem in response to the detecting of the trigger event and based on the change in the usage of the resources of the mobile user device subsystem, that there are not sufficient available resources of the mobile user device subsystem for operation in accordance with an enhanced surveillance mode; instructing, by the server subsystem in response to the determining that there are not sufficient available resources, the mobile user device subsystem to stop one or more processes operating by way of the mobile user device subsystem to ensure that there are sufficient resources to operate in the enhanced surveillance mode; instructing, by the server subsystem after the mobile user device subsystem stops the one or more processes, the mobile user device subsystem to transition from operating in accordance with the normal surveillance mode to operating in accordance with the enhanced surveillance mode; receiving, by the server subsystem from the mobile user device subsystem operating in accordance with the enhanced surveillance mode, a second set of surveillance data; and storing, by the server subsystem, the second set of surveillance data; wherein the second set of surveillance data comprises an enhanced set of data compared to the first set of surveillance data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system comprising:
-
a server subsystem comprising at least one server device; and a mobile user device subsystem that comprises at least one user device, that is communicatively coupled to the server subsystem by way of a wireless network, and that acquires and transmits a first set of surveillance data to the server subsystem, detects a trigger event indicative of potential danger to a user associated with the mobile user device subsystem, determines, in response to the detection of the trigger event and based on a change in usage of resources of the mobile user device subsystem, that there are not sufficient available resources of the mobile user device subsystem to acquire a second set of surveillance data, stops, in response to the determining that there are not sufficient available resources, one or more processes operating by way of the mobile user device subsystem to ensure that there are sufficient resources to acquire the second set of surveillance data, and acquires and transmits, after the stopping of the one or more processes, the second set of surveillance data to the server subsystem, wherein the second set of surveillance data comprises an enhanced set of data compared to the first set of surveillance data. - View Dependent Claims (23)
