1. An information processing device worn on a person carrying a weapon, the device comprising:
- a housing comprising a badge form factor;
an apparatus for securing the housing to the person;
a video camera for capturing video information only upon receipt of a trigger;
wherein the trigger comprises at least one signal indicating a situation selected from a group consisting of;
a hostile situation;
the information processing device is approaching a threshold distance from the remote wireless unit;
the weapon has been removed from a holster;
a microphone for capturing audio information only upon receipt of the trigger;
at least one biometric sensor that emits signals comprising biometric data comprising blood pressure data, heart rate data, blood oxygen level data and temperature data;
at least one environmental sensor that emits signals comprising environmental data comprising heat data, barometric pressure data, altitude data, magnetic field data, temperature data and a presence of water and brine;
at least one situational sensor that emits signals comprising situational data comprising location data, still image data, speed data, and acceleration data;
a user interface that allows the person to control the device;
said user interface comprising a data interface that allows ingress and egress of data, providing the user with an ability to access data, write data, overwrite data, and erase data in a storage;
the storage, operatively coupled with the processor, for storing the biometric data, environmental data, situational data, the video information, the audio information, and any user input;
a radio frequency transceiver for sending and receiving a wireless signal to and from a remote wireless unit installed in the person'"'"'s vehicle;
an ex situ sensor located on or near the weapon and operatively coupled with the transceiver; and
a processor operatively coupled with the radio frequency transceiver, said processor comprising logic for;
determining a type and strength of the signal;
determining from an absence of the signal that the remote wireless unit is a minimum distance from the device;
determining from a timestamp in the signal that the remote unit is a minimum distance from the device;
determining from a strength of the signal that the remote unit is a minimum distance from the device; and
depending upon the type and strength of the signal, performing one action selected from a group consisting of;
automatically activating recording functions of the device by transmitting the trigger;
automatically deactivating the recording functions of the device; and
transmitting recorded data from the storage to the remote unit; and
erasing the recorded data from the storage after each transmission.

Abstract
A method for recording information on a device worn on a person includes capturing video information, capturing audio information and receiving a signal from a remote unit. The method further includes determining from the signal that the remote unit is a minimum distance from the device and in response commencing recording of the video information and the audio information in storage. In one alternative, the video information is captured via a video camera and audio information is captured via a microphone. In another alternative, the remote unit is installed in the person'"'"'s vehicle.
