Abstract

Techniques of tracking a user's location are disclosed. In some embodiments, a mobile device captures first sensor data using at least one sensor, determines that a predetermined hazard criteria is not satisfied by an environment of a user of the mobile device, suppresses transmission of a representation of the captured first sensor data to a remote computing device based on the determination that the predetermined hazard criteria is not satisfied, captures second sensor data using the sensor(s), determines that the predetermined hazard criteria is satisfied by the environment of the user, and transmits a representation of the captured second sensor data to the remote computing device based on the determination that the predetermined hazard criteria is satisfied by the environment of the user.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

capturing, by at least one hardware processor on a mobile device, first sensor data using at least one sensor of the mobile device;
determining, by the at least one hardware processor, that a predetermined hazard criteria is not satisfied by an environment of a user of the mobile device, the predetermined hazard criteria being configured to indicate that a hazardous condition is present within the environment of the user of the mobile device;
suppressing, by the at least one hardware processor, transmission of a representation of the captured first sensor data to a remote computing device based on the determination that the predetermined hazard criteria is not satisfied by the environment of the user;
capturing, by the at least one hardware processor, second sensor data using the at least one sensor of the mobile device;
determining, by the at least one processor, that the predetermined hazard criteria is satisfied by the environment of the user of the mobile device;
and
transmitting, by the at least one hardware processor, a representation of the captured second sensor data to the remote computing device based on the determination that the predetermined hazard criteria is satisfied by the environment of the user of the mobile device.

A system comprising:

a mobile device;
at least one sensor on the mobile device;
at least one processor on the mobile device;
and
a non-transitory machine-readable medium, on the mobile device, storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
capturing first sensor data using at the least one sensor;
determining that a predetermined hazard criteria is not satisfied by an environment of a user of the mobile device, the predetermined hazard criteria being configured to indicate that a hazardous condition is present within the environment of the user of the mobile device;
suppressing transmission of a representation of the captured first sensor data to a remote computing device based on the determination that the predetermined hazard criteria is not satisfied by the environment of the user;
capturing second sensor data using the at least one sensor of the mobile device;
determining that the predetermined hazard criteria is satisfied by the environment of the user of the mobile device;
and
transmitting a representation of the captured second sensor data to the remote computing device based on the determination that the predetermined hazard criteria is satisfied by the environment of the user of the mobile device.
