Abstract: A method for providing captured video to a subsequent user device, via a video host, including at least some of allowing a user to designate, via a mobile device, at least one video host; allowing the subsequent user, via the subsequent user device, to be associated with the at least one video host; allowing the user to capture video, via the mobile device, and upload or stream the captured video to the video host device(s), wherein the captured video includes at least one categorization for the captured video, as designated by the user prior to capturing the video; and allowing the subsequent user to access, via the subsequent user device, the captured video, via the video host device associated with the at least one video host, wherein the captured video is accessed, based on the at least one categorization for the captured video.

Abstract: A method for direct video broadcasting to video host, via a mobile device, including allowing the video host to initiate an audio communication with a user, via the user's mobile device; allowing the user, via the mobile device, to accept the initiated audio communication from the video host; providing, in response to the user accepting the initiated audio communication, audio communication between the user and the video host; and allowing, in response to the user accepting the initiated audio communication, the user to capture video, via the mobile device, and upload or stream the captured video to the video host, wherein the video host is enabled to engage in audio communications with the user, as the captured video is being captured, and wherein the audio communication is separate from the audio associated with any video being captured.

Abstract: A method for providing captured video to a subsequent user device, via a desired video host, including at least some of allowing a user to designate, via a mobile device, at least one desired video host; allowing the subsequent user, via the subsequent user device, to be associated with the at least one desired video host; allowing the user to capture video, via the mobile device, and upload or stream the captured video to the desired video host device(s), wherein the captured video includes at least one categorization for the captured video, as designated by the user prior to capturing the video; and allowing the subsequent user to access, via the subsequent user device, the captured video, via the video host device associated with the at least one desired video host, wherein the captured video is accessed, based on the at least one categorization for the captured video.

Abstract: A method for selective geo-darkening of mobile electronic devices, including at least some of identifying at least one discrete geographic location; establishing a geo-fence perimeter around at least a portion of the at least one discrete geographic location; controlling each identifiable mobile electronic device within the established geo-fence perimeter to restrict at least some image and/or data exchange capabilities of the identifiable mobile electronic device located within the geo-fence perimeter; selectively controlling each identifiable mobile electronic device to upload images and/or data captured or generated by each of the identifiable mobile electronic devices for storage remote from each of the identifiable mobile electronic devices; and allowing the uploaded images and/or data captured or generated by each of the identifiable mobile electronic devices to be accessed by at least one authorized user.

Abstract: A method for determining a geographic location of a mobile electronic device and providing a local emergency services number to the mobile electronic device based on the determined geographic location, including receiving a request to place an emergency services call; determining, in response to receiving the request to place the emergency services call, a current cellular geolocation of the mobile electronic device; accessing a cellular geolocation/local emergency services number table; determining a local emergency number for the current cellular geolocation, using the current cellular geolocation and at least some information stored in the cellular geolocation/local emergency number table; and placing the requested emergency services call, using the determined local emergency number for the current cellular geolocation.
