Abstract
A method is provided for processing media of a mobile target having a dynamic geofence associated with it. The method includes providing a software application, an instance of which is installed on a memory device on each of a plurality of mobile technology platforms associated with a plurality of users; receiving a request to associate captured media with the target, or to attribute the captured media to one of the plurality of users; determining whether the media was captured within the dynamic geofence; and, if the media was captured within the dynamic geofence, then granting the request, and otherwise denying the request.
Claims22
A method for processing media associated with a mobile target having a dynamic geofence associated with it, the method comprising:
- providing a software application, an instance of which is installed on a memory device on each of a plurality of mobile technology platforms associated with a plurality of users;
- receiving a request to associate captured media with the target or to attribute the captured media to one of said plurality of users;
- determining whether the media was captured within the dynamic geofence associated with the target;
- and
- if the media was captured within the dynamic geofence associated with the target, then granting the request, and otherwise denying the request.
A method for controlling the capture of media associated with a mobile target having a dynamic geofence associated with it, comprising:
- providing a software application, an instance of which is installed on a memory device on each of a plurality of mobile technology platforms associated with a plurality of users;
- receiving a request from a mobile technology platform to capture media;
- determining whether the mobile technology platform is within the dynamic geofence;
- and
- if the mobile technology platform is within the dynamic geofence, then granting the request, and otherwise denying the request.
20-31. (canceled)
A system for processing media associated with a mobile target having a dynamic geofence associated with it, the system comprising:
- a software application, an instance of which is installed on each of a plurality of mobile technology platforms associated with a plurality of users;
- and
- at least one server which
- (a) receives requests from instances of the software disposed on the plurality of mobile technology platforms to associate media captured on the plurality of mobile technology platforms with a target or to attribute captured media with one of said plurality of users,
- (b) determines whether the media which is the subject of a request was captured within the dynamic geofence associated with the target,
- (c) if the media was captured within the dynamic geofence associated with the target, grants the request, and otherwise denies the request.
