Sensor activation of wireless microphone
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for the synchronous activation of audio data capture through the use of a wireless microphone and video data capture through the use of a video camera comprising the steps of:
- a) initializing a wireless microphone;
b) performing a pairing activation activity for said wireless microphone;
c) polling a plurality of input devices to determine if a trigger event has occurred;
d) upon the occurrence of a trigger event, i. changing the state of the wireless microphone from standby to record, ii. recording audio data from the wireless microphone, iii. simultaneously recording video data from a camera associated with the wireless microphone, iv. also simultaneously recording metadata captured by a plurality of input devices, v. and setting a user configurable timer to define the upper limit for the duration of the recording for said trigger event;
e) associating configuration data with the audio and video recorded data;
f) upon expiration of the event timer, or a manual reset of the system, i. returning to step a and repeating steps a-e, ii. storing integrated data stream files into file space within the HCS;
g) wherein the audio and video data recorded are available to a user for later review and analysis of events captured by the audio and video devices of the system to provide for increased public security.

Abstract
A wireless microphone attached to a ruggedized, mobile digital video recording system may be used to record audio of events when activated. To conserve file space in a storage device, a sensor may be used to activate the microphone for audio recording, and to cause video recording to begin at the same moment through a pairing mechanism between the wireless microphone and the mobile digital video recording system. This sensor activation provides a complete audio/visual record of the event, or series of events, that caused the sensor to trigger. The microphone may also be manually triggered, thus providing a user with a means to capture audio/visual records in an ad hoc fashion. All recorded events are saved to files in a high-capacity storage device for later retrieval and review.

6. A system for the activation of data capture including a wireless microphone for audio data capture through the use of said wireless microphone and a video camera for capturing video data comprising:
-
a) setting a wireless microphone to an initial state;
b) pairing said wireless microphone with an MDVR;
c) polling a plurality of input devices to determine if a trigger event has occurred;
d) upon the occurrence of a trigger event, changing the state of the wireless microphone from standby to record, recording audio data from the wireless microphone, recording video data from a camera associated with the wireless microphone, and setting a user configurable timer to define the duration of the recording for said trigger event;
e) associating synchronization data with the audio and video recorded data;
f) recording said captured audio and video data to an HCS;
g) and resetting the system to an initial state upon manual reset or the conclusion of the time period set by said configurable timer. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
