Abstract
A method of enabling a user to access recorded data associated with an event, the method comprising determining the location of a user's device at a control unit, confirming the location is within a predetermined vicinity and that the user's device was at the location within a predetermined period and the control unit enabling access for the user to the data if the location of the user's device in the predetermined period is confirmed.
Claims19
A method of providing access to recorded data associated with an event, the method comprising:
- determining, by a control unit, a location of a device;
- confirming the location is within a predetermined vicinity coincident with the event and that the device was at the location within a time period associated with the event;
- receiving a request for at least a portion of recorded data associated with the event, the request being associated with the device;
- receiving at least one additional request for at least the portion of the recorded data;
- consolidating the request and the at least one additional request into a single request;
- extracting a portion of the recorded data, wherein the extracted portion of the recorded data includes a time window relative to a time of the request, the time window including a first time before the time of the request and a second time after the time of the request;
- generating, for the single request, a common media file for the extracted portion of the recorded data;
- and
- providing the device for a first user, and at least one additional device for a second user, with access to the common media file for the extracted portion of the recorded data based on confirming that at least one of the device or the at least one additional device was at the location within the time period.
A system for providing access to recorded data associated with an event, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory accessible to the processor, the memory storing instructions, which upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations to:
- determine a location of a device;
- confirm the location is within a predetermined vicinity coincident with the event and that the device was at the location within a time period associated with the event;
- receive a request for at least a portion of recorded data associated with the event, the request being associated with the device;
- receive at least one additional request for at least the portion of the recorded data;
- consolidate the request and the at least one additional request into a single request;
- extract a portion of the recorded data, wherein the extracted portion of the recorded data includes a time window relative to a time of the request, the time window including a first time before the time of the request and a second time after the time of the request;
- generate, for the single request, a common media file for the extracted portion of the recorded data;
- and
- provide the device for a first user, and at least one additional device for a second user, with access to the common media file for the extracted portion of the recorded data based on confirming that at least one of the device or the at least one additional device was at the location within the time period.
