Abstract

Certain embodiments of the invention may include apparatus, systems, and methods for exchanging pictures, images, audio files, and videos over social networks. Said communications comprise transcribed media such as voice recordings, photographs, digitally manipulated images, or videos. A method is described wherein a predictive analytics engine using pre-determined biorhythm criterion, such as heart rate, inferred from historical data, determines the appropriate time to capture images and when to transmit them to social networks, and which networks to transmit the media to as well as which users to authorize to view the content.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
We claim: 
     
       1. An apparatus for taking pictures or videos triggered by pre-selected changes in a user's biorhythms, the apparatus comprising:
 at least one biosensor configured to detect at least one biorhythm of a user and to generate a biorhythm signal based on the detected at least one biorhythm of the user; 
 a wearable camera configured to be worn by the user; and 
 at least one processor configured to receive the biorhythm signal from the at least one biosensor, the processor configured to compare the biorhythm signal to a biorhythm threshold and, in response to the biorhythm signal exceeding the biorhythm threshold, to simultaneously trigger the wearable camera to take one or more pictures or videos. 
 
     
     
       2. The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one biosensor is configured to detect a heart rate of the user. 
     
     
       3. The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising at least one signaling device configured to send the biorhythm signal from the biosensor to the processor. 
     
     
       4. The apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said signaling device is configured to send the biorhythm signal from the biosensor to the processor(s) via a wireless connection. 
     
     
       5. The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising at least one wristband that houses the processor and the biosensor. 
     
     
       6. A computer system for taking pictures and videos triggered by pre-selected changes in a user's biorhythms, the computer system comprising:
 at least one biosensor configured to detect at least one biorhythm of a user and to generate a biorhythm signal based on the detected at least one biorhythm of the user; 
 a wearable camera configured to take pictures and/or videos; and 
 
       at least one processor configured to receive the biorhythm signal from the at least one biosensor, the processor configured to compare the biorhythm signal to a biorhythm threshold and, in response to the biorhythm signal exceeding the biorhythm threshold, to simultaneously trigger the wearable camera to take one or more pictures or videos. 
     
     
       7. The computer system of  claim 6  wherein the at least one biosensor is configured to detect a heart rate of the user. 
     
     
       8. The computer system of  claim 6  further comprising at least one signaling device configured to send the biorhythm signal from the biosensor to the processor. 
     
     
       9. The computer system of  claim 8  wherein said signaling device is configured to send the biorhythm signal from the biosensor to the processor(s) via a wireless connection. 
     
     
       10. The computer system of  claim 6  further comprising at least one wristband that houses the processor and the biosensor. 
     
     
       11. A computer-implemented method for taking pictures and videos triggered by pre-selected changes in a user's biorhythms, the method comprising:
 detecting, via at least one biosensor, at least one biorhythm of a user; 
 comparing the detected biorhythm of the user to a biorhythm threshold; and 
 
       in response to the detected biorhythm of the user exceeding the biorhythm threshold, simultaneously triggering a wearable camera to take one or more pictures or videos. 
     
     
       12. The computer-implemented method of  claim 11  wherein detecting at least one biorhythm of the user includes detecting a heart rate of the user. 
     
     
       13. The computer-implemented method of  claim 11  wherein simultaneously triggering the wearable camera includes simultaneously triggering the wearable camera to take one or more pictures or videos while the wearable camera is worn by the user. 
     
     
       14. The computer-implemented method of  claim 11  wherein the biosensor is supported by a wristband worn by the user. 
     
     
       15. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the biorhythm threshold as an input from the user. 
     
     
       16. The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the wireless connection is a Bluetooth wireless connection or a near field communication wireless connection. 
     
     
       17. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the wearable camera or the processor is configured to transmit the picture(s) or video(s) taken by the camera to a network. 
     
     
       18. The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the network is a social network. 
     
     
       19. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to simultaneously trigger the wearable camera to take one or more pictures or videos via a wireless signal.
