Abstract

Edited and non-edited multimedia content from a plurality of sources is formatted as a standardized data feed. The standardized data feed is correlating with a syndicated data feed as an aggregated data feed. The aggregated data feed is presented for display at a device.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

detecting, by at least one sensor device, location data for a user to which the at least one sensor device is attached;

detecting, by the at least one sensor device, health data for the user to which the at least one sensor device is attached; and

providing, by the at least one sensor device, the detected location data for the user and the detected health data for the user to a database that accumulates information about the user.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein detecting, by at least one sensor device, location data for the user comprises detecting in real-time a location of the at least one sensor device.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein detecting, by at least one sensor device, location data for the user comprises detecting location data using an RFID.

4. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the at least one sensor device comprises a wireless communication device.

5. The method as recited in claim 4, wherein providing the detected location data for the user and the detected health data for the user comprises providing the detected location data and detected health data without user intervention via a wireless communication network.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein detecting, by at least one sensor device, location data for the user comprises detecting in a real-time location of the user as the user moves around.

7. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising associating a time stamp with one or more of the location data or the health data.

8. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising receiving a request to activate and determining one or more of the location data or the health data in response to the request to activate.

9. A method comprising:

receiving, from at least one sensor device, location data for a user to which the at least one sensor device is attached;

receiving, from the at least one sensor device, health data for the user to which the at least one sensor device is attached;

formatting, by at least one processor, the location data for the user and the health data for the user into a predetermined format; and

publishing, by the at least one processor, the formatted location data for the user and the formatted health data for the user.

10. The method as recited in claim 9, wherein publishing, by the at least one processor, the formatted location data for the user and the formatted health data for the user comprises providing the formatted location data for the user and the formatted health data for the user to a website accessible by the user.

11. The method as recited in claim 10, wherein publishing, by the at least one processor, the formatted location data for the user and the formatted health data for the user comprises providing the formatted location data for the user and the formatted health data for the user as an update to a blog associated with the user.

12. The method as recited in claim 9, wherein formatting, by at least one processor, the location data for the user and the health data for the user into the predetermined format comprises associating description schema with the location data and the health data.

13. The method as recited in claim 12, wherein publishing, by the at least one processor, the formatted location data for the user and the formatted health data for the user comprises publishing the location data for the user and the health data for the user together with content provided by the user related to the description schema associated with the location data for the user and the health data for the user.

14. The method as recited in claim 9, wherein publishing, by the at least one processor, the formatted location data for the user and the formatted health data for the user comprises providing the formatted location data for the user and the formatted health data for the user in response to a search query.

15. The method as recited in claim 9, wherein formatting, by at least one processor, the location data for the user comprises determining locations of the user defining how the user moved around based on the location data.

16. A system, comprising:

a first sensor device that detects location data for a user to which the first sensor is attached;

a second sensor device that detects health data for the user to which the second sensor device is attached; and

a wireless communication interface that provides the location data and the health data for publication.

17. The system as recited in claim 16, wherein the first sensor device detects, in real-time, a location of the user as the user moves around.

18. The system as recited in claim 16, further comprising a third sensor device that detects weather information.

19. The system as recited in claim 16, wherein the system comprises a wireless communications device.

20. The system as recited in claim 16, further comprising provide data that stores the location data and the health data and provides one or more of the location data and the health data in response to user queries.
