METHODS AND DEVICES FOR GENERATING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT IN RESPONSE TO SIMULTANEOUS INPUTS FROM RELATED PORTABLE DEVICES

摘要

Methods of operating a mobile device having a transceiver configured to communicate with a wireless communication network include detecting a motion of the mobile device using a sensor associated with the mobile device, and generating a signal indicative of the motion of the mobile device. An ancillary sensor signal is received from a sensor of an ancillary device associated with the mobile device, and a multimedia object is generated and stored in response to the motion of the mobile device and the ancillary sensor signal. A mobile device includes a sensor that detects motion of the mobile device and generates a signal indicative of a motion of the mobile device, a transceiver configured to communicate with a wireless communication network, and a short-range wireless communication interface configured to receive an ancillary sensor signal from an ancillary device. The device further includes a controller that generates a multimedia object in response to the signal indicative of the motion of the mobile device and the ancillary sensor signal, and stores the multimedia object.
