Abstract

A method includes receiving a package comprising an image and metadata of the image including ambient condition data, storing the package in a memory, receiving a request for the image, outputting the image in response to the request, determining a context of the request, determining, using the context of the request, a substitute for the ambient condition data, and outputting the substitute for the ambient condition data with the image.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

an image capture device configured to capture an image;

an ambient condition capture device configured to capture ambient milieu data substantially contemporaneous with the capture of the image, said ambient condition capture device comprising;

an accelerometer configured to detect movement of the system substantially contemporaneous with the capture of the image and to add data about the movement to the ambient milieu data, wherein the data about the movement is configured to be recreated as an audio output; and

a microphone configured to capture an audio track substantially contemporaneous with the capture of the image;

an analysis module configured to resolve the audio track by adding data identifying a substitute audio track in the ambient milieu data; and

a memory storing a package comprising the image and the ambient milieu data.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a scene analyzer module configured to detect an ambient lighting condition substantially contemporaneous with the capture of the image.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the ambient condition analyzer is a communications device configured to send the ambient milieu data to a server configured to return the substitute audio track to the image capture system.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the analysis module is configured to resolve the data about the movement as an edit of the image data.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the analysis module is configured to resolve the data about the movement as an association with another image.
