Identifying a locale for controlling capture of data by a digital life recorder based on location

摘要

The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product controlling a capture of data. In one embodiment, the process identifies a location from locale identifier data to form an identified location in response to receiving the locale identifier data. The locale identifier data is associated with a location of the digital life recorder. In addition, the identified location is associated with a set of usage policies. The process then determines whether the set of usage policies restricts the capture of data by the digital life recorder at the identified location or whether the set of usage policies restricts playback of the data by a playback system. Thereafter, the process disables a set of sensors while the digital life recorder is in the presence of the locale identifier in response to determining that the set of usage policies restricts the capture of data.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for controlling a capture of data by a digital life recorder, the computer implemented method comprising:
responsive to receiving locale identifier data, from a locale identifier sensor within a set of sensors comprising a sensing subsystem related to a user, associated with a location of the digital life recorder, identifying the location and a type of location by one or more processors of a data processing system, using the locale identifier data to form an identified location, wherein the identified location is associated with a predetermined set of usage policies, and wherein the predetermined set of usage policies assigned to the identified location is applied to the type of location identified; the one or more processors determining whether the predetermined set of usage policies restricts the capture of data by the digital life recorder at the identified location or whether the predetermined set of usage policies restricts playback of the data by a playback system; the one or more processors, responsive to determining that the predetermined set of usage policies restricts the capture of data, disabling a set of sensors while the digital life recorder is in a presence of a locale identifier; and tagging the data captured at the identified location, by the one or more processors, with recording restrictions specified in the predetermined set of usage policies to form tagged data, wherein a presentation of the tagged data is restricted by the playback system, and wherein the tagging, by the one or more processors, further comprises:
identifying the data captured with at least one of a content source information, a timestamp of when a data segment was captured and a global positioning system location of a location of where the data segment was captured;forwarding the identified data to a raw data queue;determining whether retrieved data is configured; andresponsive to determining that the retrieved data is configured, announcing the retrieved data to an audio and a video playback subsystem.
