Claims
- 1. A portable consumer electronics device comprising:
a first functionality adapted to enable a first recording of a real-time signal to a storage; a second functionality adapted to enable a second recording of contextual information to the storage wherein the contextual information can be used to put in a context with the real-time signal; and a third functionality adapted to enable a transmission of, at least a part of, the real-time signal and the contextual information that has been recorded.
- 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the real-time signal comprises at least one of an aural signal and a visual signal.
- 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the recording of the signal and the contextual information enables the creation of a personal logbook.
- 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the device is integrated with a piece of clothing.
- 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the device is integrated with a means of transportation.
- 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the contextual information comprises a location stamp.
- 7. The device of claim 3, wherein the location stamp is received through a GPS system.
- 8. The device of claim 1, wherein at least part of the first recording and the second recording can be controlled remotely.
- 9. The device of claim 1, wherein at least part of the transmission can be controlled remotely.
- 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the device comprises a fourth functionality adapted to enable filtering of the real-time signal to a part that is representative for the real-time signal before being recorded at the first recording.
- 11. The device of claim 1, wherein the device is an object or a person tracking device whereby the device is enabled to provide the first recording of the real-time signal as well as the second recording of the contextual information from the storage.
- 12. The device of claim 1, wherein the third functionality comprises a capability to insert a recording signature in the transmission that enables a third party to detect a recording activity of the device.
- 13. A method of creating a logbook, the method comprising:
recording of a real-time audio or video signal to a storage; recording of contextual information to the storage together with the real-time signal and wherein the contextual information can be used to put in a context with the real-time signal; and transmitting, at least a part of and upon activation, the real-time signal and the contextual information that has been recorded.
- 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising receiving a location stamp.
- 15. The method of claim 13, further comprising remotely controlling the transmitting.
- 16. The method of claim 13, further comprising filtering of the real-time signal to a part that is representative for the real-time signal before being recorded at the first recording.
- 17. The method of claim 13, further comprising tracking an object or a person whereby providing the first recording of the real-time signal as well as the second recording of the contextual information from the storage.
- 18. A method of offering a service for tracking an object or a person, the method comprising:
enabling recording of a real-time audio or video signal and of contextual information to a storage together with the real-time signal and wherein the contextual information can be used to put in a context with the real-time signal; and enabling access to, at least a part of and upon activation, the real-time signal and the contextual information that has been recorded and remotely from the location where the real-time signal and the contextual information originates.
- 19. The method of claim 18, whereby the contextual information is based on location information of the object or the person.
- 20. A mobile consumer electronics recording device for enabling a user to create a personal diary by recording, in an always-on mode, data representative of a current environment of the user.
- 21. The device of claim 20, comprising an input from the environment that can control the always-on mode.
- 22. The device of claim 20, comprising a user-interface that enables a user to selectively disabling and enabling the always-on mode.
- 23. The device of claim 20, comprising an RF input that enables an operator to selectively disabling and enabling the always-on mode.
