Abstract

One example method may include receiving a content capture action initiated from a mobile device, determining whether content capture devices are proximate to the mobile device, capturing content associated with a location of the mobile device based on one or more mobile device profile preferences, and responsive to capturing the content, updating a mobile device profile status.

Claims (32)

1. A method comprising:

receiving a content capture action initiated from a mobile device;

determining one or more content capture devices are proximate to a location specified by one or more mobile device profile preferences associated with the mobile device and are subscribed to a content capturing network;

forwarding content capture instructions to the one or more content capture devices, wherein the content capture instructions instruct the one or more content capture devices on how to capture content in accordance with the one or more mobile device profile preferences associated with the mobile device;

capturing content, via the one or more content capture devices, based on the one or more mobile device profile preferences, wherein the mobile device profile preferences comprise one or more of a quantity and a length of one or more of images and video content to capture; and

responsive to capturing the content, updating a mobile device profile status of the mobile device profile.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether any content capture devices are proximate to the mobile device further comprises

identifying a location of the mobile device; and

determining whether the content capture devices are within a predefined distance threshold of the mobile device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether any content capture devices are proximate to the mobile device further comprises

identifying a location of the mobile device; and

determining whether one or more of the content capture devices can capture content that includes the mobile device location.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device profile is stored in a server.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content capture devices comprise a plurality of cameras which are located above or below the location of the mobile device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content capture devices are one or more of fixed position cameras, extraterrestrial cameras, and flying drone cameras.

7. A system comprising:

a mobile device configured to forward a content capture action initiated by the mobile device;

a server configured to

receive the content capture action;

determine one or more content capture devices are proximate to a location specified by one or more mobile device profile preferences associated with the mobile device and are subscribed to a content capturing network;

forward content capture instructions to the one or more content capture devices, wherein the content capture instructions instruct the one or more content capture devices on how to capture content in accordance with the one or more mobile device profile preferences associated with the mobile device;

wherein the content capture devices are configured to capture content, based on the one or more mobile device profile preferences, wherein the mobile device profile preferences comprise one or more of a quantity and a length of one or more of images and video content to capture; and

wherein the server, responsive to receiving the captured content, is configured to update a mobile device profile status of the mobile device profile.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein when the server determines whether any content capture devices are proximate to the mobile device the server is further configured to

identify a location of the mobile device; and

determine whether the content capture devices are within a predefined distance threshold of the mobile device.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein when the server determines whether any content capture devices are proximate to the mobile device the server is further configured to

identify a location of the mobile device; and

determine whether one or more of the content capture devices can capture content that includes the mobile device location.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the mobile device profile is stored in a server.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the content capture devices comprise a plurality of cameras which are located above or below the location of the mobile device.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the content capture devices are one or more of fixed position cameras, extraterrestrial cameras, and flying drone cameras.
