Method and system for peer-to-peer operation of multiple recording devices
First Claim
1. A method comprising, by a first recording device in a peer-to-peer recording system comprising a plurality of networked recording devices:
- initiating a first recording on the first recording device;
creating a first recording identifier specific to the first recording;
storing information related to the first recording identifier in a metadata file for the first recording;
transmitting a first status message for receipt by other recording devices of the plurality of networked recording devices, wherein the first status message comprises;
an indicator of a decision by the first recording device to initiate the first recording; and
the first recording identifier;
receiving a second status message from a second recording device of the plurality of networked recording devices, wherein the second status message comprises;
an indicator of a decision by the second recording device to initiate a second recording; and
a second recording identifier specific to the second recording; and
storing information related to the second recording identifier in the metadata file for the first recording.

Abstract
In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a first status message from a first recording device. The first status message includes a first recording identifier. The method further includes determining to initiate a second recording on a particular recording device based, at least in part, on the first status message and configuration settings. In addition, the method includes initiating a second recording on the particular recording device. Furthermore, the method includes creating a second recording identifier. The method also includes storing information related to the first recording identifier and the second recording identifier in a metadata file. Additionally, the method includes transmitting a second status message for receipt by other recording devices. The second status message includes the second recording identifier.
