Abstract
An application that runs on a User Equipment (UE) in one of three main modes: (1) listener, (2) proxy, or (3) controller, and defaults to listener mode. A UE is placed by a user into controller mode, which causes the application to scan the area covered by its Bluetooth radio and identify other Bluetooth enabled devices. For all the Bluetooth devices found, the controller attempts to contact the UEs in listener mode to form a group of interested listeners. The UE in controller mode then sends a message to all group members. The message alerts the user of each UE in listening mode to prepare to take a photograph or video. The UE in listener mode provides the users with audio and visual cues and after a time period each UE in the group takes a photograph or a video.
