Abstract

A system and method is provided for processing and storing captured data in a wireless communication device based on detected biometric event data. The captured data may be acquired through a data acquisition system with devices or sensors in an integrated or distributed configuration. The captured data may include multimedia data of an event with time, date and/or location stamping, and captured physiological and behavioral biometric event data in response to the event. The captured data may be dynamically stored in a data binding format or as raw data in a local host device or communicated externally to be stored in a remote host or storage. At least one user preference may be specified for linking a biometric event data to the mapped, analyzed, categorized and stored captured data in a database. Captured data may be retrieved by matching biometric event data to at least one user preference from the database.

Claims

1. A method for processing data, the method comprising:

in a wireless mobile communication device, performing by one or more processors, one or more circuits, or any combination thereof integrated within a single chip;

capturing data in the wireless mobile communication device;

concurrently capturing detected biometric event data via one or more biometric sensors independent of the knowledge of the captured data;

independently storing the captured data and the captured detected biometric event data; and

mapping at least a portion of the detected biometric event data to at least a portion of the captured data for later retrieval, wherein the mapping comprises mapping at least a portion of the detected biometric event data to a biometric event database, wherein the mapped at least portion of the detected biometric event data indicates a user'"'"'s behavioral conditions during the capturing.

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising storing said captured data at said wireless communication device.

3. The method according to claim 1, comprising transferring said captured data for storage external to said wireless communication device.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein said user'"'"'s behavioral condition indicates one or more of user'"'"'s mental state, character, and mood.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein said mapping comprising analyzing said user'"'"'s biometric event data to establish varying degrees of behavioral condition for contrast.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said captured data comprises one or more of audio, video, still image, and text content.

7. The method according to claim 1, comprising capturing said data based on a user preference.

8. The method according to claim 7, comprising modifying said user preference based on said captured data and/or said biometric event data.

9. The method according to claim 7, comprising matching said detected biometric event data with information in said user preference or a pattern recognition database for capturing.

10. The method according to claim 1, comprising detecting said biometric event data.

a storage device stores said captured data and said captured detected biometric event data, and maps at least a portion of said stored captured data to at least a portion of said stored captured detected biometric event data for later retrieval, wherein said mapped at least said portion of said detected biometric event data indicates a user'"'"'s behavioral conditions during said data capturing.

16. The system according to claim 15, wherein the wireless communication device comprises the storage device, and the at least one processor stores the captured data at the storage device of the wireless communication device.

17. The system according to claim 15, wherein said at least one processor transfers said captured data for storage external to said wireless communication device.

18. The system according to claim 15, wherein said user'"'"'s behavioral condition indicates one or more of user'"'"'s mental state, character, and mood.

19. The system according to claim 15, wherein said mapping comprises analyzing said user'"'"'s biometric event data to establish varying degrees of behavioral condition for contrast.

20. The system according to claim 15, wherein said captured data comprises one or more of audio, video, still image, and text content.

21. The system according to claim 15, wherein said at least one processor captures said data based on a user preference.
