Triggering an automatic creation of an event stamp
A method and system is disclosed in which information related to an orientation or motion pattern of a mobile device system is detected. A determination is made whether the orientation information detected corresponds to a predetermined motion pattern or orientation for collecting event stamp information. The event stamp information may include a location and/or other event information. If the detected orientation and/or motion patterns is detected, the event stamp information is automatically collected in response to the determination, and the event stamp information is is at least temporarily stored.
1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a detector, information related to an orientation of a mobile device system, the mobile device system including the detector, a processor system including one or more processor, and nonvolatile memory system;
determining, by the mobile device system, that the orientation information detected corresponds to a predetermined orientation that is associated with actively collecting information related to an event, where the information related to the event is different than information that is automatically collected as event stamp information, the event stamp information including a location;
in response to the determining, automatically by the processor system, collecting the event stamp information; and
at least temporarily storing, by the processor system the event stamp information in the nonvolatile memory.
2. The method of claim 1 , the mobile device system being a wearable device.
3. The method of claim 1 , the mobile device system being a smartphone.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising creating, by the processor system an indication that the mobile device system is collecting the event stamp information.
5. The method of claim 4 , the creating of the indication including at least causing, via a vibrator, the mobile device system to vibrate.
6. The method of claim 4 , the creating of the indication including at least causing, via a microphone, a sound to be emitted.
7. The method of claim 4 , the creating of the indication including at least causing, via a display, to display an image indicating that the event stamp information is being collected.
8. The method of claim 4 , the creating of the indication including at least creating
an indication that the mobile device system has started collecting the event stamp information;
determining that the collecting of the event stamp information is complete; and
indicating that that the collecting of the event stamp information is complete.
9. The method of claim 1 , the information related to the orientation of a mobile device system including at least an information related to an indication that a change in orientation occurred.
10. The method of claim 1 , the information related to the orientation of a mobile device system including at least an information related to orientating the mobile device system to face towards the user.
11. The method of claim 1 , the mobile device system being a wearable device that is worn on a wrist of the information related to the orientation of a mobile device system including at least information related to turning a wrist of the user.
12. The method of claim 11 , the information related to the orientation of a mobile device system including further at least information related to bending an arm having the wrist towards the user in combination with turning the wrist.
13. The method of claim 1 , the method further including detecting by a detector that a display of the mobile device system is facing the user.
14. The method of claim 11 , the information related to the orientation of a mobile device system including further at least information related to a placement of the mobile device system at a height of a head of the user.
15. The method of claim 1 , further including detecting by a detector that a viewer of the mobile device system is facing the user, detecting a camera lens of the mobile device system facing away from the user.
16. The method of claim 1 , further including detecting by a detector an orientation of the user's head.
17. The method of claim 1 , further including determining that a picture was taken and automatically adding the event information to the picture.
18. The method of claim 1 , the storing including storing the event stamp in nonvolatile memory a collection of event stamps.
19. A method comprising:
detecting, by a detector, information related to an orientation of a mobile device system, the mobile device system including the detector, a processor system including one or more processor, and nonvolatile memory system;
determining, by the mobile device system, that the orientation information detected corresponds to a predetermined orientation for collecting event stamp information, the event stamp information including a location;
in response to the determining, automatically by the processor system, collecting the event stamp information; and
at least temporarily storing, by the processor system the event stamp information in the nonvolatile memory, the mobile device system including a camera, and the information related to the orientation of a mobile device system including at least information related to lifting the mobile device system so as to be oriented parallel to the user's face with the camera facing away from the user's face.
20. A method comprising:
detecting, by a detector, information related to an orientation of a mobile device system, the mobile device system including the detector, a processor system including one or more processor, and nonvolatile memory system;
determining, by the mobile device system, that the orientation information detected corresponds to a predetermined orientation for manually collecting event stamp information, the event stamp information including a location;
in response to the determining, automatically by the processor system, collecting the event stamp information; and
at least temporarily storing, by the processor system the event stamp information in the nonvolatile memory.
