1. A method for creating a structured data collection at a mobile data capture device, the method comprising:
- receiving an input from a interface of the mobile data capture device, the input activating a function for collection of data components;
determining an initial context in response to the activation of the function for collection of data components;
collecting, in response to receiving the input, at least two data components associated with at least the initial context using the mobile data capture device, wherein at least one of the data components is newly acquired by the mobile data capture device from a data source subsequent to receiving the user input and wherein at least one of the data components has an data component identifier;
providing a unique identifier, andassigning the unique identifier to the at least two data components collected at the mobile data capture device, to form a bundle of data associated with at least the initial context and identified by the unique identifier on the mobile data capture device.

17. A method of creating a data pack at a mobile data capture device, the method comprising:
-
using a mobile data capture device to collect data components associated with at least an initial context in response to receiving an input at a user interface, wherein at least one data component has data component identifier and wherein at least one of the data components is newly acquired from a data source subsequent to receiving the input at the user interface; providing a unique identifier different than the data component identifier, and assigning the unique identifier at the mobile device to each of the collected data components to form a bundle of data components associated with at least the initial context and identified by the unique identifier on the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (21)

18. A mobile data capture device comprising:
-
an electronic storage device for electronically storing data components, a data collection device for collecting data components wherein at least one data component has data component identifier; a user interface for receiving selected input and generating an indication of the input; a processor communicatively linked to the interface, the electronic storage device and the data collection device;
the processor including;an application activated by the processor in response to receiving the indication of the selected input from the interface, the application for determining an initial context in response to the activation of the application; collecting at least two data components associated with the initial context using the mobile data capture device, wherein at least one of the data components is newly acquired by the mobile data capture device from a data source subsequent to receiving the input at the user interface and wherein at least one of the data components has an identifier; and assigning a unique identifier at the mobile data capture device to the at least two data components associated with the initial context to form a bundle of data components associated with the initial context and identified by the unique identifier on the mobile data capture device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
