1. A computer implemented method for managing usage policies for live data recorded with a digital life recorder, the computer implemented method comprising:

  • monitoring continuously by a usage profile sensor for a broadcast of a usage profile including a usage policy from a usage profile notifier in a usage profile environment including multiple broadcasts, multiple usage profiles and multiple usage profile sensors;

    responsive to detecting the broadcast by detecting the digital life recorder entering within a geographical range of the broadcast, determining whether the usage profile of the broadcast detected is currently being tracked by checking a tracking table, wherein a usage profile processor tracks each usage profile individually, and wherein a completed entry in the tracking table contains information comprising a start date and a start time, an end date and an end time and a particular usage profile, and wherein the tracking table is maintained in a daily cache comprising a digital life metadata database and digital life information object database;

    responsive to a determination the usage profile of the broadcast detected is not currently being tracked, recording a current date and time as the start date and the start time, at which the broadcast of the usage policy was received, and the particular usage profile into the tracking table;

    recording the live data by a camera and an audio capturing device connected to the digital life recorder positioned on a user while continuously receiving, at the digital life recorder, the broadcast over a wireless network of the usage policy for the live data currently being recorded, wherein the broadcast of the usage policy from an individual or organization has the geographical range, wherein the live data recorded with the digital life recorder includes audio data and video data, wherein the usage policy includes information broadcast from the individual or the organization other than the user of the digital life recorder, including policy information comprising a definition of how a person wants a respective image and conversation used, a definition of how a building or location wants recordings in the building or location used and a definition of how a content provider wants content rebroadcast, and usage restrictions including conditions on how images from the live data recorded with the digital life recorder and associated with the individual or the organization can be transferred by the user;

    responsive to no longer detecting the broadcast of the usage policy by detecting the digital life recorder is not within the geographical range of the broadcast, recording the current date and time as the end date and the end time, at which the broadcast of the usage profile including the usage policy was no longer detected, into the tracking table;

    identifying portions of the live data to be restricted by the usage policy by identifying portions of the live data recorded by one of the camera and the audio capturing device while the digital life recorder was within the geographical range of the broadcast between the start time and the end time of the usage policy of the usage profile recorded in the tracking table to form the portions of the live data to be restricted by the usage policy; and

    submitting the usage profile, the start time, and the end time from the tracking table in the daily cache to a digital life recorder storage in a digital life repository subsystem for later use.
