Method and apparatus for creating and storing personal information relating to earth shaking events

摘要

An apparatus and method for creating, storing, retrieving and sharing personal information relating to earth shaking events (ESE). Upon receiving notice of an ESE, a user device may create an ESE data set by creating a name/description, creating metadata and collecting information relating to the event. The parameters of the collecting process, such as the period of collection, the type of data collected, the data sources, etc., may be defined by an action profile, which is associated with the type of the event of interest. The device may also notify peer devices of the event. An ESE data set may be stored locally or remotely in association with the metadata for later retrieval. An ESE data set may be retrieved for presentation to the user and/or for sharing with peer user devices thereby enabling one to relive the user's experience relative to the event.
