Abstract

A method and concomitant computer software and system for buffering data and transmitting the buffered data after an event occurs comprising storing data into a continuous loop buffer and transmitting data from the loop buffer to an end location after an event trigger.

Claims

1. A method for buffering data obtained from a sensor and transmitting the buffered data after an event occurs, comprising the steps of:

obtaining data from a sensor;

storing the data into a continuous loop buffer;

processing the data to create data information by identifying objects and their location in the data, labeling the objects, and storing or embedding the data information within the data;

triggering an event by a user or by autonomous capabilities;

combining data from before the event with data that occurs after the event in a manner that is predetermined or determined by the user;

modifying or compressing the processed data and data information for storage or transmission;

storing the processed data and data information;

automatically identifying objectionable content in the processed data and data information to decide whether to transmit the data and data information;

determining where the processed data and data information is to be transmitted; and

transmitting the processed data and data information to an end location.

2. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising software to buffer data and transmit the buffered data after an event occurs, the software comprising:

code storing data obtained from a sensor into a continuous loop buffer;

code processing the data to create data information by identifying objects and their location in the data, labeling the objects, and storing or embedding the data information within the data;

code triggering an event by a user or by autonomous capabilities;

code processing the data after an event is triggered to combine data from before the event with data that occurs after the event in a manner that is predetermined or determined by the user;

code modifying or compressing the processed data and data information for storage or transmission;

code storing the processed data and data information;

code automatically identifying objectionable content in the processed data and data information to decide whether to transmit the data and data information;

code determining where the processed data and data information is to be transmitted; and

code transmitting the processed data and data information to an end location.
