1. A computer implemented method for multimedia capture and payment transactions for mobile and wearable devices, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by one or more processors of the mobile and wearable devices, a first user input;

    based on the first user input, initiating one or more sensors to capture multimedia to obtain captured multimedia;

    receiving, by the one or more processors, a second user input, wherein the first input comprises the user touching a mode selection icon on a screen of one of the mobile and wearable devices and the second input comprises the user releasing the mode selection icon;

    analyzing, by the one or more processors, data associated with the first user input and the second user input, wherein the analyzing includes determining time between the first user input and the second user input and displaying the time on a timer adjacent the mode selection icon;

    subsequent to receiving the first and second user inputs, the at least one or more processors displaying a menu proximate to the timer and the mode selection icon, the menu displaying a selectable payment transaction mode and a plurality of selectable submodes of a multimedia capture mode including at least a video capture mode, an audio capture mode, an image capture mode, a text capture mode, and an animation capture mode, wherein each submode is automatically selected based on a corresponding different time between the first user input and the second user input, wherein in the video capture mode the one or more processors capture video from a camera of the mobile and wearable digital device, in the audio capture mode the one or more processors capture audio by selecting audio content from the captured multimedia, in the image capture mode the one or more processors capture an image by frame selection in the captured multimedia, in the text capture mode the one or more processors capture text from at least one of text and speech recognition on the captured multimedia, and in the animation capture mode the one or more processors capture animation by selecting two or more frames in the captured video and cycling them to form an animation;

    based on the analysis, automatically selecting, by the one or more processors, the multimedia capture mode or a payment transaction mode;

    upon selection of the multimedia capture mode, recording, by the one or more processors, the captured multimedia to a database to obtain recorded multimedia, wherein a type of the multimedia being recorded is automatically determined based on the time between the first user input and the second user input and the corresponding automatically selected submode capturing the corresponding type of multimedia, and modifying the captured multimedia by network accessible voice changing unit that returns the modified multimedia to the mobile and wearable device for use thereon;

    upon selection of the payment transaction mode by the time between the first and second user inputs being greater than a time for selection of the multimedia capture mode, receiving, by the one or more processors, transaction data, wherein the transaction data comprises at least a payment amount, a recipient identifier, and user payment data;

    providing on a screen of the mobile and wearable device;

    a first icon, upon selection, causing the mobile and wearable device to perform the financial transaction in a face to face manner via a Quick Response (QR) code by the user scanning the QR code associated with the recipient and encoding payment data of the recipient to complete the financial transaction;

    a second icon, upon selection, causing the mobile and wearable device to perform the financial transaction in a long distance manner over the internet upon the user selecting the recipient from a contact list; and

    a third icon, upon selection, causing the mobile and wearable device to perform the transaction via Bluetooth wireless short range communication subsequent to receiving payment data of the recipient via Bluetooth wireless short range communication;

    based on the transaction data, user payment data, and recipient payment data, performing, by the one or more processors, a payment transaction comprising transferring a payment amount from an electronically stored virtual currency of a user comprising a face of the user printed thereon, to a recipient, wherein the virtual currency is encrypted by the one or more processors using peer reviewed cryptographic ciphers, transferring the virtual currency directly to the recipient without a third party to transfer the currency to the recipient from the user, and after the transferring, converting the virtual currency transferred to and stored by the recipient by replacing the image of the user with an image of the recipient, responsive to verification of a face of the user captured by the mobile and wearable device against a stored image of a face of the user, wherein the one or more processors of the mobile and wearable device authorizes payment transactions in part by determining that a geographical location of the mobile and wearable device matches a geographic location of the recipient at a time of the selection of the payment transaction mode;

    storing the user payment data and the recipient identifier in the database;

    wherein the mobile and wearable devices includes at least of one of a handheld computing device, a smartphone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, a e-textile item, an activity tracker, a smartwatch, smartglasses, a Global Positioning System (GPS) watch, a mixed reality device, a computer-mediated reality device, a clothing technology;

    securing the mobile and wearable device via band adapted to secure the mobile and wearable device on a human body, the human body including a wrist, an arm, a neck, a head, a leg, a waist, an ear, a finger, and any other part of the human body, wherein the band is adapted to secure the wearable device under, within or on clothing, and powering the mobile and wearable device via a rechargeable battery in the band.
