Abstract
Systems and methods of synchronizing devices may include detecting a movement of a first mobile device and conducting a time synchronization procedure with respect to a second mobile device in response to the movement of the two mobile devices. The time synchronization can be conducted without network infrastructure support at the mobile devices.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a sensor to detect a movement of a first mobile device;
- a synchronization module to conduct a time synchronization with respect to a second mobile device in response to the movement of the first mobile device, wherein the time synchronization is to be conducted without network infrastructure support at the first mobile device;
- and
- an image capture module to capture an image and apply a time stamp to the image based on the time synchronization.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a synchronization module to conduct a time synchronization with respect to a second mobile device in response to a detected movement of a first mobile device, wherein the time synchronization is to be conducted without network infrastructure support at the first mobile device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions which, if executed by a processor, cause a first mobile device to:
- detect a movement of the first mobile device;
- and
- conduct a time synchronization with respect to a second mobile device in response to the movement of the first mobile device, wherein the time synchronization is to be conducted without network infrastructure support at the first mobile device.
