Wearable Device Location Tracking for Personalized Event Records
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Event attendees often lack a personalized record of their experience, as existing recordings may not capture the event from their vantage point or omit memorable moments, differing from their individual perspective.
Innovation Solution
A wearable device that periodically transmits an identifier, allowing receiver components to correlate the attendee's location with captured content from various vantage points, creating an individualized record of the event.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If event organizers make recordings available of an event after it is over, then attendees have access to a record of the event, but the recording does not coincide with what attendees remember experiencing during the event
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the event recording into multiple segments captured from different vantage points throughout the venue. Each receiver component captures content from its specific location, and the system segments the overall event record into location-specific portions that can be individually associated with attendees based on their movement patterns during the event.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces wearable devices as intermediaries that attendees wear during the event. These devices track attendee location and serve as a bridge between the multiple receiver components distributed throughout the venue and the final personalized record, enabling the system to associate specific content segments with specific attendees based on their location data.
2Adaptability or versatility
If organizers use a single fixed recording location, then the recording setup is simple, but the recording captures the event from a different vantage point than what some attendees experienced
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the venue into multiple recording zones, each with its own receiver component. This segmentation allows the event to be captured from multiple vantage points simultaneously, providing comprehensive coverage of different perspectives that attendees experienced from various locations throughout the venue.
Solution Approach 2:
Each receiver component is designed to be multi-functional, serving both as a content capture device and as a location reference point. The receiver components are distributed throughout the venue and can capture content from their respective locations, making the system adaptable to cover multiple vantage points while maintaining a standardized component design that simplifies deployment.

AI summary
Embodiments of the invention are directed to capturing a record of an event which is individualized to a specific event attendee. Event attendees carry a wearable device configured to periodically transmit a payload that may, for example, include an identifier for the wearable device. The device's transmissions may be received by one or more receiver components located at the event venue. Each receiver component may have one or more associated content capture components configured to capture content (e.g., video, audio, text, etc.) relating to the event as it is ongoing. The location of each receiver component over time is known, and so receipt of transmissions from the wearable device by different receiver components over time indicates an approximate location of the attendee over time, and thus the vantage point(s) from which the attendee witnessed the event. The attendee's location over time may be correlated with content captured from different locations during the same time period to create a record of the event which is individualized to the attendee.
