  • Patent number: 10306081
    Abstract: Technologies for generating a point-of-view video of a user include determining whether a mobile communication device is positioned in a reference point-of-view position relative to a body of the user and, if so, initiating recording of a video without direction from the user. The point-of-view position may be defined as, for example, a position near the chest of the user. The recording of the video is initiated automatically in response to the user moving the mobile communication device to the point-of-view position. The recording may occur for a pre-defined reference length of time. The recorded video may be automatically uploaded to a remote video server upon competition of the recording. The remote server may aggregate associated videos into a stack and transmit stacks of recorded videos to the mobile communication device. Upon viewing a stack of associated videos, the stack of videos may be automatically deleted from the mobile communication device.
