1. A method comprising:
- receiving event data corresponding to an event from a mobile device, wherein the event data includes audio data, and one or more of image data and video data;
retrieving from the mobile device context data associated with the mobile device;
analyzing the context data, the audio data and the one or more of the image data and video data for determining a tag for describing the event data,wherein analyzing the audio data comprises comparing the audio data against known sound data, andwherein analyzing the one or more of the image data and the video data comprises image recognition processing;
associating the event data with the tag;
classifying the event data as corresponding to a level of severity based on the audio data, and on one or more of the tag and a volume of all event data for a given geographic region for a given time range;
anonymizing the event data with respect to the mobile device and any associated user account;
storing the anonymized event data among a plurality of anonymized event data; and
determining a target destination for transmission of a notification message, the event data, or a combination thereof based on the classification, the context data, or a combination thereof.

Abstract
An approach for enabling event notifications to be directed to one or more contacts based on the acquiring of common event data by one or more wireless devices is described. A multimedia event processor receives event data corresponding to an event from a mobile device. The event data is associated with a tag for describing the event data and classified as corresponding to a level of severity based on the tag. A target destination is then determined for transmission of a notification message, the event data, or a combination thereof.
