Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for performing geotagging referencing in both indoor and outdoor environments are presented. In some embodiments, a mobile device may record a digital media object comprising at least one digitally recorded event of a surrounding environment of the mobile device. The mobile device may obtain at least one geotagging datum, the at least one geotagging datum comprising at least one timing measurement from at least one reference source. The mobile device may determine a location of the digital media object using the at least one geotagging datum. The mobile device may then label the digital media object with the location of the digital media object.
Claims43
A method of a mobile device, the method comprising:
- recording at the mobile device a digital media object associated with a surrounding environment of the mobile device;
- obtaining at the mobile device at least one geotagging datum, the at least one geotagging datum comprising at least one timing measurement from at least one reference source;
- determining a location of the digital media object using the at least one geotagging datum;
- and
- labeling the digital media object with the location of the digital media object.
A mobile device comprising:
- an event recorder configured to record a digital media object associated with a surrounding environment of the mobile device;
- a receiver configured to obtain at least one geotagging datum, the at least one geotagging datum comprising at least one timing measurement from at least one reference source;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a location of the digital media object using the at least one geotagging datum;
- and
- label the digital media object with the location of the digital media object.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for recording a digital media object associated with a surrounding environment of a mobile device;
- means for obtaining at least one geotagging datum, the at least one geotagging datum comprising at least one timing measurement from at least one reference source;
- means for determining a location of the digital media object using the at least one geotagging datum;
- and
- means for labeling the digital media object with the location of the digital media object.
A non-transitory processor-readable medium comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause a processor to:
- record a digital media object associated with a surrounding environment of a mobile device;
- obtain at least one geotagging datum, the at least one geotagging datum comprising at least one timing measurement from at least one reference source;
- determine a location of the digital media object using the at least one geotagging datum;
- and
- label the digital media object with the location of the digital media object.
