<p>The invention concerns an apparatus and method for the gathering of data relating to aspects of a user's surroundings, particularly to the logging and subsequent retrieval of environmental data. In embodiments of the invention, the apparatus comprises one or more logging stations (10), a data bank (20), a user station (30) and a contributor station (40). Each user has a user identifier card (50) on which logging preferences may be stored. Each logging station (10) is arranged for recognizing a period during which a user is present, and logging personal data according to the logging preferences while the user is present. Further, when the user is no longer at a particular logging station (10), the logging station in question transmits information including user ID and logged data to the data bank (20), from which the user station (30) may later retrieve the information.</p> |
