RECORDING AND REPORTING DEVICE, METHOD, AND APPLICATION

摘要

A method and/or a computer readable medium and a computer-executable set of instructions on the computer readable medium, and/or a product or processing system such as a handheld communication device or computer, for carrying out the method, the method allowing a user to initiate capturing images during an experience such as a driving experience and submitting an electronic communication containing at least captured images for a threshold duration before and/or after detecting a threshold magnitude motion, such as one emulating a car accident. The electronic communication can be configured to be sent to a predestinated destination such as an insurance agent, emergency respondent, family member, employer, or any other destination, and may include additional information such as accident location, user information, and vehicle information. The processing system display may provide the user the option to, or the processing system may automatically, call a desired destination such as an emergency respondent. The processing system may respond to computer-executable instructions to delete from a threshold history of the captured image as the image capture device thereof records images to preserve memory space, keeping the most recent threshold duration. The processing system may respond to computer-executable instructions to continue recording after the threshold magnitude motion is detected for a threshold duration prior to submitting the captured image. The display of the processing system may include a user-selectable panic object to allow manual submission of a threshold duration of the image captured without the processing system having detected the threshold magnitude motion.

主权项

1. A method configured to be implemented on a processing system having a processor, memory, and image-capture device, a motion sensing component, and a display, the method comprising:
capturing an image for a duration; detecting a motion of a threshold magnitude; and electronically submitting the captured image for at least the duration to a destination in response to detecting the motion of the threshold magnitude or upon a user-instructed event.
