Method for remote capture of audio and device

Abstract

Some embodiments herein include at least one of systems, methods, and devices for remote audio capture using a hand-held device. In some embodiments, the device captures, stores, and transmits audio to another device via wireless technologies. In some embodiments, the device may be used either as a hand-held microphone or as a lavaliere microphone.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A method performed by a first device, comprising:
 wirelessly receiving a stream of audio data from at least one other device;   capturing a stream of video data;   calculating a latency between the stream of audio data from the at least one other device and the stream of video data;   offsetting the stream of audio data to compensate for the latency between the stream of audio and the stream of video;   combining the offset stream of audio data from the at least one other device and the stream of video data into a file.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first device is a smart-phone and the method is performed by an app executing on the smart-phone. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first device is an iPhone®. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first device includes a video camera and the method is performed by software executing on the device. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first device receives the stream of audio data from the at least one other device via a Bluetooth® connection. 
     
     
         6 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
 capturing audio data by a microphone in a second device that includes a processor, a first memory coupled to the processor, instructions stored on the first memory, operable to cause the processor to execute a wireless protocol, a wireless chip coupled to the processor, the wireless chip operable to send and receive wireless signals;   wirelessly transmitting the captured audio data to a first device;   capturing video data by a camera in the first device;   determining a latency between the stream of audio data from the second device and the video;   aligning the audio data to the video data to compensate for the latency between the audio data and the video data; and   storing the aligned audio and video data into a file.
