Abstract

A technique processes captured data on a device, wherein selected captured data of a given quality resolution is transferred via a communication link to a separate storage location for future availability. A storage protocol may include various storage organization categories. A possible aspect may provide an identifier record to enable future accessibility to selected captured data by one or more authorized parties or approved devices or authorized recipients. In some embodiments the captured data may include both a video data stream and one or more still image frames having different quality characteristics and/or formats. Initial and ongoing coordination as well as correlation may be facilitated between video and still image data derived from related fields of view.

Claims (54)

1. A system, comprising:

circuitry configured for acquiring on a server one or more captured images;

circuitry configured for receiving an input indicative of a selection of a predetermined condition;

circuitry configured for receiving an indication that at least one of the one or more captured images has been displayed, including at least circuitry configured for receiving an indication indicative of a user input from a touch screen display on a device to display the one or more images on the touch screen display of the device;

circuitry configured for initiating at least one preselected time period based on the circuitry configured for receiving the indication that at least one of the one or more captured images has been displayed; and

circuitry configured for deleting the one or more captured images upon occurrence of the predetermined condition, wherein the predetermined condition includes at least expiration of the preselected time period.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for acquiring on a server one or more captured images comprises:

circuitry configured for capturing one or more of a digital image or a video image via an image acquisition device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for acquiring on a server one or more captured images comprises:

circuitry configured for receiving one or more of a digital image or a video image via a communication network.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for initiating at least one preselected time period based on the circuitry configured for receiving the indication that at least one of the one or more captured images has been displayed comprises:

circuitry configured for initiating at least one preselected time period based on an indication indicative of a user input signaling display of the one or more images.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for initiating at least one preselected time period based on the circuitry configured for receiving the indication that at least one of the one or more captured images has been displayed comprises:

circuitry configured for initiating at least one preselected time period based on an indication indicative that the one or more images have been displayed.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for deleting the one or more captured images upon occurrence of the predetermined condition, wherein the predetermined condition includes at least expiration of the preselected time period comprises:

circuitry for permanently deleting the one or more captured images from the server upon occurrence of the predetermined condition.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for deleting the one or more captured images upon occurrence of the predetermined condition, wherein the predetermined condition includes at least expiration of the preselected time period comprises:

circuitry for permanently deleting the one or more captured images from a displaying device upon occurrence of the predetermined condition.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

circuitry for enabling annotation of the one or more images.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein circuitry for enabling annotation of the one or more images comprises:

circuitry for enabling annotation of the one or more images following display of the one or more images.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein circuitry for enabling annotation of the one or more images comprises:

circuitry for enabling annotation of the one or more images prior to a transmission of the one or more images.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein circuitry for enabling annotation of the one or more images comprises:

circuitry for enabling annotation of the one or more images following display of the one or more images and prior to transmission of the one or more images.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein circuitry for enabling annotation of the one or more images comprises:

circuitry for enabling annotation of the one or more images with at least one of textual data, date information, or location information.

13. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

circuitry for storing the one or more images.

14. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

circuitry for storing a modified version of the one or more images.

15. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

circuitry for storing a decreased-resolution version of the one or more images.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein circuitry for storing a decreased-resolution version of the one or more images comprises:

circuitry for storing a version of the one or more images having at least one of an altered image intensity or an altered color value.

17. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

circuitry for storing a modified version of the one or more images based on a pre-determined condition.

18. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

circuitry for storing the one or more images in a local storage based on one or more retention policies that depend on a type of data captured in the one or more images.

19. A method, comprising:

acquiring on a server one or more captured images;

receiving an input indicative of a selection of a predetermined condition;

receiving an indication that at least one of the one or more captured images has been displayed, including at least receiving an indication indicative of a user input from a touch screen display on a device to display the one or more images on the touch screen display of the device;

initiating at least one preselected time period based on the receiving the indication that at least one of the one or more captured images has been displayed; and

deleting the one or more captured images upon occurrence of the predetermined condition, wherein the predetermined condition includes at least expiration of the preselected time period.

20. A system, comprising:

at least one processing device; and

one or more instructions which, when executed by the at least one processing device, configured the at least one processing device to perform one or more operations including at least:

acquiring on a server one or more captured images;

receiving an input indicative of a selection of a predetermined condition;

receiving an indication that at least one of the one or more captured images has been displayed, including at least receiving an indication indicative of a user input from a touch screen display on a device to display the one or more images on the touch screen display of the device;

initiating at least one preselected time period based on the receiving the indication that at least one of the one or more captured images has been displayed; and

deleting the one or more captured images upon occurrence of the predetermined condition, wherein the predetermined condition includes at least expiration of the preselected time period.
