## Abstract

Disclosed is a master electronic device configured to create a content capture session executable by a plurality of electronic devices comprising at least one client electronic device. The master electronic device may comprise: a user interface module configured to receive at least one session parameter; a processor configured to create at least one content capture session based on the at least one session parameter; and a communication means configured to communicate data between the master electronic device and at least one client electronic device, wherein the communication comprises transmission of at least one session parameter, wherein the at least one client electronic device is configured to participate in the at least one content capture session according to the at least one session parameter.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A client electronic device configured to participate in at least one content capture session executable by a plurality of electronic devices comprising each of a master electronic device and the client electronic device, the client electronic device comprising:
a communication means configured to communicate data between the master electronic device and the client electronic device,
wherein communicated data between the master electronic device and the client electronic device comprises a master-mode indicator, and wherein the client device is configured to operate as the master electronic device upon a receipt of the master-mode indicator; and
a content capturing means configured to capture content associated with the at least one content capture session.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The client electronic device of claim 1, wherein the communicated data between the master electronic device and the client electronic device comprises at least one session parameter.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The client electronic device of claim 2, wherein the at least one session parameter comprises at least one device indicator, wherein the client electronic device is configured to participate in the at least one content capture session with the at least one device indicator.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The client electronic device of claim 2, wherein the at least one session parameter comprises at least one time value, wherein the client electronic device is configured to perform at least one operation corresponding to the at least one content capture session based on the at least one time value.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The client electronic device of claim 4, wherein the at least one operation corresponding to the at least one content capture session comprises at least one of the following: initiation of content capture, pausation of content capture, termination of content capture and processing of content captured by the client electronic device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The client electronic device of claim 2, wherein the at least one session parameter comprises at least one operation indicator, wherein the client electronic device is configured to perform at least one operation based on the at least one operation indicator.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The client electronic device of claim 2, wherein the at least one session parameter comprises at least one camera setting, wherein the content capturing means comprises a camera configured to capture at least one image based on the at least one camera setting.

### Claim 8 (depends on 2)

The client electronic device of claim 2, wherein the at least one session parameter comprises a storage setting, wherein the client electronic device is configured to store content captured by the client electronic device based on the storage setting.

### Claim 9 (depends on 2)

The client electronic device of claim 2, wherein the at least one session parameter comprises a transmission setting, wherein the client electronic device is configured to transmit content captured by the client electronic device based on the transmission setting.

### Claim 10 (depends on 2)

The client electronic device of claim 2, wherein the at least one session parameter comprises a privacy setting, wherein the client electronic device is configured to restrict access to content captured by the client electronic device based on the privacy setting.

### Claim 11 (depends on 2)

The client electronic device of claim 2, wherein the at least one session parameter comprises a rule, wherein the client electronic device is configured to perform at least one operation based on the rule.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The client electronic device of claim 11, wherein the at least one session parameter comprises a context, wherein the client electronic device is configured to perform the at least one operation based further on the context.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The client electronic device of claim 1, wherein the communicated data further comprises at least one content captured by the client electronic device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The client electronic device of claim 1, further comprising a presentation means configured to present at least one of content captured by the client electronic device and content captured by the master electronic device.
