`
`BACKGROUND
`
`This invention, in general, relates to distribution of multi-
`media content. More particularly, this invention relates to
`pairing a digital data capture device in conjunction with a
`mobile device for automatically publishing data and multi-
`media content on one or more websites simultaneously.
`A user may need to capture and publish data and multime-
`dia content on the internet in real time. Typically, the user
`would capture an image using a digital camera or a video
`camera, store the image on a memory device of the digital
`camera, and transfer the image to a computing device such as
`a personal computer (PC). In order to transfer the image to the
`PC, the user would transfer the image off-line to the PC, use
`a cable such as a universal serial bus (USB) or a memory stick
`and plug the cable into the PC. The user would then manually
`upload the image onto a web site which takes time and may be
`inconvenient for the user.
`Therefore, there is a need for a method and system to utilize
`a digital data capture device in conjunction with a mobile
`device for automatically detecting capture of data and multi-
`media content, transferring the captured data and multimedia
`content to the mobile device, and publishing the data and
`multimedia content on one or more websites automatically or
`with minimal user intervention.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`This summary is provided to introduce a selection of con-
`cepts in a simplified form that are further described in the
`
`US 9,258,698 B2
`
`5
`
`2
`detailed description of the invention. This summary is not
`intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the
`claimed subject matter, nor is it intended for determining the
`scope of the claimed subject matter.
`The method and system disclosed herein addresses the
`above stated need for utilizing a digital data capture device in
`conjunction with a BluetoothTM (BT) enabled mobile device
`for publishing data and multimedia content on one or more
`websites automatically or with minimal user intervention.
`10 The digital data capture device is physically separated from
`the BT enabled mobile device.
`In the method and system disclosed herein, a client appli-
`cation is provided on a BT enabled mobile device. In the
`absence of in-built BT capability in the digital data capture
`15 device, a BT communication device is provided on the digital
`data capture device. The BT communication device may, for
`example, be an in-built BT capability chip, a BT memory
`card, or an external BT device. The BT communication
`device on the digital data capture device is paired with the BT
`20 enabled mobile device to establish a connection between the
`digital data capture device and the BT enabled mobile device.
`A user may capture data and multimedia content using the
`digital data capture device. The digital data capture device
`may, for example, be a digital camera, a video camera, or
`25 other digital modular camera systems. The client application
`on the BT enabled mobile device detects the captured data,
`multimedia content, and files associated with the captured
`data and the multimedia content on the digital data capture
`device by communicating over a wireless BT protocol. The
`30 captured data, multimedia content, and the associated files are
`automatically transferred to the client application on the BT
`enabled mobile device from the digital data capture device.
`The detection and transfer of the captured data, the multi-
`media content, and the associated files may be initiated by the
`35 client application of the BT enabled mobile device. The
`detection and transfer of the captured data, the multimedia
`content, and the associated files to the BT enabled mobile
`device may be initiated by the digital data capture device
`when the client application is unable to detect the captured
`40 data, the multimedia content, and the associated files from the
`digital data capture device.
`The user may configure a timer setting and select the web-
`sites for publishing using the client application on the BT
`enabled mobile device. The client application selects the
`45 websites for publishing the transferred data and the multime-
`dia content based on user preferences configured on the Blue-
`tooth enabled mobile device. The client application also sets
`time for publishing the transferred data and the multimedia
`content automatically or with minimal user intervention. The
`so client application on the BT enabled mobile device automati-
`cally publishes the transferred data and multimedia content
`on one or more websites using the settings configured by the
`user. The method and system disclosed herein thereby
`enables the user to capture data and multimedia content, for
`55 example, audio, video, text, and images, automatically
`upload the captured data and multimedia content onto a BT
`enabled mobile device, and publish the data and multimedia
`content on one or websites automatically or with minimal
`user intervention. The user may therefore publish data and the
`60 multimedia content on immediate capture of the data and the
`multimedia content on the digital data capture device.
`The method and system disclosed herein is described with
`reference to a BT communication protocol. The method and
`system disclosed herein may be realized with wireless proto-
`65 cols, for example, Zigbee® protocol, WibreeTM protocol,
`Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) protocol, and other wireless proto-
`cols for wireless personal area networks.

`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
`
`FIG. 1 illustrates a method of utilizing a digital data capture
`device 201 in conjunction with a BluetoothTM enabled mobile
`device 202 for publishing data and multimedia content on one
`or more websites automatically or with minimal user inter-
`vention. The term "Bluetooth enabled mobile device" is
`herein referred to as "mobile device". The digital data capture
`device 201 is physically separated from the mobile device
`202 as illustrated in FIG. 2. The digital data capture device
`201 may, for example, be a digital camera, a video camera,
`digital modular camera systems, or other digital data captur-
`ing systems.
`In the method disclosed herein, a client application 203 is
`provided 101 on the mobile device 202. In the absence of
`inbuilt Bluetooth (BT) capability in the digital data capture
`device 201, a BT communication device 201a is provided 102
`on the digital data capture device 201. The BT communica-
`tion device 201a may, for example, be an inbuilt BT capabil-
`ity chip 301, a BT memory card 302, or an external BT device
`303 as illustrated in FIGS. 3A-3C respectively. The external
`BT device 303 may, for example, be attached to a universal
`serial bus (USB), a firewire interface, or a power port of the
`digital data capture device 201. BT provides a method of
`connecting and exchanging information between devices, for
`example, mobile phones, laptops, personal computers (PCs),
`printers, digital cameras, etc. over a secure and globally unli-
`censed short-range radio frequency.
`The BT communication device 201a on the digital data
`capture device 201 is paired 103 with the mobile device 202
`to establish a connection between the digital data capture
`device 201 and the mobile device 202. BT pairing involves
`establishing a connection between two BT devices that mutu-
`ally agree to communicate with each other. A BT device that
`wants to communicate only with a trusted device can crypto-
`graphically authenticate the identity of another BT device.
`
`4
`BT pairing occurs when the BT communication device 201a
`agrees to communicate with the mobile device 202 in order to
`establish a connection. In order to initiate the pairing process
`between the BT communication device 201a and the mobile
`5 device 202, a common password known as a passkey is
`exchanged between the BT communication device 201a and
`the mobile device 202. A passkey is a code shared by the BT
`communication device 201a and the mobile device 202.
`A user sets a discoverable mode for the mobile device 202.
`10 When set to the discoverable mode, the mobile device 202
`will allow the BT communication device 201a on the digital
`data capture device 201 to detect the mobile device's 202
`presence and attempt to establish a connection. In order to
`initiate the pairing process, the BT communication device
`15 201a will send the BT communication device name of a
`predefined number of characters, for example, up to 255
`characters, and the BT address to the mobile device 202. The
`BT communication device 201a then prompts the user of the
`mobile device 202 to enter the passkey code in order to accept
`20 the pairing with the BT communication device 201a on the
`digital data capture device 201. On entering the passkey by
`the user of the mobile device 202, the entered passkey is
`matched with the passkey of the BT communication device
`201a. If a match is found, a trusted pair is automatically
`25 established.
`The user captures 104 data and multimedia content using
`the digital data capture device 201. The data and multimedia
`content may, for example, comprise image files, audio files,
`video files, text files, or any combination thereof. The client
`30 application 203 on the mobile device 202 detects 105 the
`captured data, the multimedia content, and files associated
`with the captured data and the multimedia content. The client
`application 203 then initiates the transfer of the captured data,
`the multimedia content, and the associated files in a pull mode
`35 of operation. In the pull mode, the client application 203
`periodically polls the digital data capture device 201 to deter-
`mine the creation of a new file in the digital data capture
`device 201. The digital data capture device 201 then auto-
`matically transfers 106 the captured data, the multimedia
`40 content, and the associated files to the client application 203
`on the mobile device 202 using one or a combination of file
`transfer protocols. The file transfer protocols may, for
`example, be one or a combination of BT profile protocols
`such as the object exchange (OBEX) protocol, the generic
`45 object exchange profile (GOEP) protocol, etc. The file trans-
`fer protocols may, for example, also be the media transfer
`protocol (MTP), the picture transfer protocol (PTP), and the
`PictBridge protocol implemented using a USB.
`The picture transfer protocol (PTP) allows the transfer of
`so images from digital cameras to computers and other periph-
`eral devices without the need of additional device drivers. The
`media transfer protocol is a custom extension to the PTP and
`allows the protocol to be used for devices other than digital
`cameras, for example digital audio players and other portable
`55 media devices, for example portable video players. The Pict-
`Bridge protocol allows images to be printed directly from
`digital cameras to a printer, without having to connect the
`camera to a computer.
`The transfer of the data, the multimedia content, and the
`60 associated files may also take place in a push mode of opera-
`tion. In the push mode, the BT communication device 201a
`sends a signal to the client application 203 on creation of a
`new file. By implementation of a handshake protocol, the BT
`communication device 201a automatically transfers captured
`65 data, the multimedia content, and the associated files to the
`client application 203 on the mobile device 202. For some
`external digital data capture devices, the client application

`203 may not be able to detect the creation of a new file. In such
`cases, the digital data capture device 201 signals the client
`application 203 in the event a new file is created. A file event
`listener in the client application 203 listens for the signal from
`the digital data capture device 201. The user may then initiate
`the transfer by a press of a button or a key on the digital data
`capture device 201.
`In the case of a mobile device 202 with limited memory and
`processing capabilities, the client application 203 partitions
`the multimedia content of large files stored on the mobile
`device 202 into multiple data segments. The data segments
`are tagged with segment identifiers using the client applica-
`tion 203. The tagged data segments are transferred from the
`client application 203 of the mobile device 202 to a publish-
`ing service 401 via a network 402 as illustrated in FIG. 4.
`When the client application 203 is unable to detect the
`captured data, the multimedia content, and the associated files
`from the digital data capture device 201, the digital data
`capture device 201 initiates detection and transfer of the
`captured data, the multimedia content, and the associated files
`to the mobile device 202.
`The user may also set preferences on the mobile device
`202. The user preferences may, for example, comprise the
`websites selected for publishing the data and the multimedia
`content. The user may configure a timer setting and the web-
`sites on the mobile device 202 for publishing the data and the
`multimedia content. The user may also set timer and action
`settings for publishing the data and the multimedia content.
`The user may set the timer setting to, for example, a "no-wait-
`automatic" setting, a "wait-X-minutes-automatic" setting,
`and a "wait-X-minutes-user-input-cancel" setting. The client
`application 203 on the mobile device 202 selects the web sites
`for publishing the transferred data and the multimedia content
`based on user preferences configured on the mobile device
`202. The client application 203 also sets time for publishing
`the transferred data and the multimedia content automatically
`or with minimal user intervention.
`The client application 203 on the mobile device 202 then
`automatically publishes 107 the transferred data and multi-
`media content on one or more web sites. If the user configures
`the timer setting to "no-wait-automatic", the data and the
`multimedia content are automatically published on one or
`more websites based on the user preferences configured on
`the mobile device 202 without waiting for a certain period of
`time. If the user configures the timer setting to "wait-X-
`minutes-automatic", the client application 203 will wait for
`"X" minutes for the user to change or cancel publishing. If
`there is no user action for "X" minutes, the client application
`203 will automatically publish the data and multimedia con-
`tent to one or more websites based on the user preferences.
`Further, if the user configures the timer setting to "wait-X-
`minutes-user-input-cancel", the client application 203 will
`wait for "X" minutes for an input from the user. If there is no
`input from the user, the client application 203 cancels the
`publishing of the data and multimedia content. The publish-
`ing of the data and multimedia content on one or more web-
`sites simultaneously is explained in the detailed description
`of FIG. 4.
`The user may therefore capture data, for example, audio,
`video, text, and images, automatically upload the captured
`data onto the mobile device 202, and publish the data and
`multimedia content on one or websites automatically or with
`minimal user intervention. The method disclosed herein
`thereby enables the user to publish data and the multimedia
`content on immediate click of an image or recording of a
`video on the digital data capture device 201 without having to
`
`15
`
`6
`manually upload the data onto a computing device and then
`publish the data on the websites.
`FIG. 2 illustrates a system for utilizing a digital data cap-
`ture device 201 in conjunction with a BT enabled mobile
`5 device 202 for publishing data and multimedia content on one
`or more websites automatically or with minimal user inter-
`vention. The system disclosed herein comprises a digital data
`capture device 201 and a client application 203 provided on
`the BT enabled mobile device 202. The digital data capture
`device 201 and the mobile device 202 are physically sepa-
`rated from each other. The digital data capture device 201
`comprises a BT communication device 201a and a data cap-
`ture module 201d.
`The BT communication device options used on the digital
`data capture device 201 for establishing a BT connection with
`the client application 203 on the BT enabled mobile device
`202 are exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 3A-3C. The BT
`communication device 201a may, for example, be an in-built
`20 BT capability chip 301 as illustrated in FIG. 3A, a BT
`memory card 302 as illustrated in FIG. 3B, or an external BT
`device 303 as illustrated in FIG. 3C.
`The BT communication device 201a comprises a BT asso-
`ciation protocol module 201b and a data transfer protocol
`25 module 201c. The client application 203 on the mobile device
`202 comprises a BT association protocol module 203a, a data
`and file monitoring and detection module 203b, a data trans-
`fer protocol module 203c, a data storage module 203d, a
`graphical user interface (GUI) 203e, and a media publishing
`30 module 203/ The BT association protocol module 201b of
`the digital data capture device 201 and the BT association
`protocol module 203a of the client application 203 enable the
`pairing between the BT communication device 201a and the
`mobile device 202. The pairing of the BT communication
`35 device 201a and the mobile device 202 is explained in the
`detailed description of FIG. 1. The data capture module 201d
`captures the data and the multimedia content on the digital
`data capture device 201.
`The data and file monitoring and detection module 203b of
`40 the client application 203 monitors and detects the capture of
`the data, the multimedia content, and the files associated with
`the captured data and the multimedia content. On detection,
`the data transfer protocol module 203c of the client applica-
`tion 203 initiates the transfer and download of the captured
`45 data, the multimedia content, and the associated files from the
`digital data capture device 201. When the client application
`203 is unable to detect the captured data, the multimedia
`content, and the associated files from the digital data capture
`device 201, the data transfer protocol module 201c of the
`so digital data capture device 201 initiates the transfer of the
`captured data, the multimedia content, and the associated files
`to the mobile device 202.
`The data transfer protocol module 201c of the digital data
`capture device 201 transfers the captured data, the multime-
`55 dia content, and the associated files to the client application
`203. The data storage module 203d stores the captured data,
`the multimedia content, and the associated files on the mobile
`device 202. The user may also set preferences on the mobile
`device 202 using the GUI 203e of the client application 203.
`60 The user preferences may, for example, comprise the web-
`sites selected for publishing the data and the multimedia
`content. The GUI 203e enables the user to configure a timer
`setting and web sites on the mobile device 202 for publishing
`the data and the multimedia content. The user may also set
`65 timer and action settings for publishing the data and the
`multimedia content using the GUI 203e. The user may set a
`timer setting, for example, a "no-wait-automatic" setting, a

`"wait-X-minutes-automatic" setting, and a "wait-X-minutes-
`user-input-cancel" setting as explained in the detailed
`description of FIG. 1.
`The media publishing module 203f automatically pub-
`lishes the transferred data and the multimedia content on one
`or more of the websites. The media publishing module 203f
`comprises a website selection module 203g, a timer module
`203h, a segmentation module 203i, and a data transfer module
`203j. The website selection module 203g selects the websites
`for publishing the data and the multimedia content based on
`settings and user preferences configured by the user on the
`mobile device 202. The timer module 203h sets the time for
`publishing the transferred data and the multimedia content
`automatically or with minimal user intervention. The timer
`setting may be set for automatic publishing of the multimedia
`content or a time based wait mode where user interaction is
`required. The timer module 203h sets the timer based on a
`timer setting, for example, a "no-wait-automatic" setting, a
`"wait-X-minutes-automatic" setting, and a "wait-X-minutes-
`user-input-cancel" setting configured by the user. The timer
`module 203h ensures that if the user does not wish to publish
`the transferred data and multimedia content, the user has time
`to decide whether to publish or not. The user may also con-
`figure the client application 203 to automatically delete the
`data, the multimedia content, and the associated files after the
`data and the multimedia content have been posted and pub-
`lished on one or more websites based on user preferences.
`In the case of a mobile device 202 with limited memory and
`processing capabilities, the client application 203 partitions
`the multimedia content of large files stored on the mobile
`device 202 into multiple data segments using the segmenta-
`tion module 203i. The segmentation module 203i generates
`segment identifiers and tags the data segments with the seg-
`ment identifiers. The data transfer module 203j transfers the
`data, the tagged data segments, and the multimedia content
`from the client application 203 to the publishing service 401
`via a network 402 for publishing on the websites automati-
`cally.
`FIG. 4 exemplarily illustrates a system for publishing data
`and the multimedia content using a client application 203 on
`a mobile device 202 on one or more websites simultaneously.
`The system disclosed herein comprises a client application
`203 and a publishing service 401 connected via a network
`402. The client application 203 comprises a media publishi
