Automated upload of content based on captured event
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for automatically capturing, uploading, and publishing content. The system may include one or more monitoring modules for providing captured content to a remote site.
1. A method for providing remote access to captured content, comprising:
in response to receiving locally captured content and metadata associated with the locally captured content from a capture device, associating the locally captured content with a user account associated with the capture device;
obtaining, from the metadata, a virtual representation of a user interface of the capture device to be used on a virtual interface of a user access device different than the capture device;
providing, via a processor, the virtual representation obtained from the metadata to the user access device to enable the user access device to display the virtual representation of the user interface of the capture device on the virtual interface of the user access device; and
providing the locally captured content to the user access device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the virtual representation comprises template data associated with the user interface of the capture device.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein providing the virtual representation to the user access device comprises retrieving a template corresponding to the template data and conveying the template to the user access device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata includes user account data associated with the capture device, and associating the locally captured content with the user account comprises using the user account data of the metadata.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying a type of the locally captured content based on the metadata.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising publishing the locally captured content via a server by storing the locally captured content in a format corresponding to the type of the locally captured content.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata further comprises information indicative of an event that triggered the capture of the locally captured content by the capture device, and further comprising providing data associated with the event to the user access device via the virtual interface in accordance with the information indicative of the event.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the locally captured content is encapsulated with the virtual representation, and obtaining the virtual representation from the metadata comprises unwrapping the metadata.
9. A tangible machine readable storage device comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
in response to receiving locally captured content and metadata associated with the locally captured content from a capture device, associating the locally captured content with a user account associated with the capture device;
obtaining, from the metadata, a virtual representation of a user interface of the capture device to be used on a virtual interface of a user access device different than the capture device;
enabling the user access device to display the virtual representation of the user interface of the capture device on the virtual interface of the user access device; and
providing the locally captured content to the user access device.
10. The tangible machine readable storage device of claim 9 , wherein the virtual representation comprises template data associated with the user interface of the capture device.
11. The tangible machine readable storage device of claim 10 , wherein enabling the user access device to display the virtual representation comprises retrieving a template corresponding to the template data and conveying the template to the user access device.
12. The tangible machine readable storage device of claim 9 , wherein the metadata includes user account data associated with the capture device, and associating the locally captured content with the user account comprises using the user account data of the metadata.
13. The tangible machine readable storage device of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise identifying a type of the locally captured content based on the metadata.
14. The tangible machine readable storage device of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise publishing the locally captured content via a server by storing the locally captured content in a format corresponding to the type of the locally captured content.
15. The tangible machine readable storage device of claim 9 , wherein the metadata further comprises information indicative of an event that triggered the capture of the locally captured content by the capture device, and the operations further comprise providing data associated with the event to the user access device via the virtual interface in accordance with the information indicative of the event.
16. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory comprising machine readable instructions; and
a processor to execute the machine readable instructions to perform operations comprising:
in response to receiving locally captured content and metadata associated with the locally captured content from a capture device, associating the locally captured content with a user account;
obtaining, from the metadata, a virtual representation of a user interface of the capture device to be used on a virtual interface of a user access device different than the capture device;
providing the virtual representation to the user access device in accordance with the metadata to enable the user access device to display the virtual representation of the user interface of the capture device on the virtual interface of the user access device; and
providing the locally captured content to the user access device.
17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the virtual representation comprises template data associated with the user interface of the capture device.
18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein providing the virtual representation to the user access device comprises retrieving a template corresponding to the template data and conveying the template to the user access device.
19. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the metadata includes user account data associated with the capture device, and associating the locally captured content with the user account comprises using the user account data of the metadata.
20. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise identifying a type of the locally captured content based on the metadata, and publishing the locally captured content via a server by storing the locally captured content in a format corresponding to the type of the locally captured content.
21. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the metadata further comprises information indicative of an event that triggered the capture of the locally captured content by the capture device, and the operations further comprise providing data associated with the event to the user access device via the virtual interface in accordance with the information indicative of the event.
