Abstract

According to one embodiment, a method includes determining that a size of video data associated with a recording operation at a first recording device exceeds an amount of available storage space; selecting previously-stored video data for transfer to a second device; transferring the selected video data from the first recording device to the second device; and deleting the selected video data from the first recording device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 determining that a size of video data associated with a recording operation at a first recording device exceeds an amount of available storage space;   selecting previously-stored video data for transfer to a second device;   transferring the selected video data from the first recording device to the second device; and   deleting the selected video data from the first recording device.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the recording operation is a present recording operation. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the recording operation is a future recording operation. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the transferred video data is stored on the second device and made available for later output. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second device has more available storage space than the first recording device. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the transferred video data is a duplicate of the video data originally stored. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the transferred video data has a reduced quality from the video data originally stored. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first recording device is in wireless communication with a network. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first recording device is capable of:
 recording video content,   transmitting video content via wireless technique, and   communicating with various handheld devices wirelessly.   
     
     
         10 . A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising:
 code configured to determine that a size of video data associated with a recording operation at a first recording device exceeds an amount of available storage space;   code configured to select previously-stored video data for transfer to a second device;   code configured to transfer the selected video data from the first recording device to the second device; and   code configured to delete the selected video data from the first recording device.   
     
     
         11 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , wherein the recording operation is a present recording operation. 
     
     
         12 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , wherein the recording operation is a future recording operation. 
     
     
         13 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , wherein the transferred video data is stored on the second device and made available for later output. 
     
     
         14 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , wherein the second device has more available storage space than the first recording device. 
     
     
         15 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , wherein the transferred video data is a duplicate of the video data originally stored. 
     
     
         16 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , wherein the transferred video data has a reduced quality from the video data originally stored. 
     
     
         17 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , wherein the first recording device is in wireless communication with a network. 
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , wherein the first recording device is capable of:
 recording video content,   transmitting video content via wireless technique, and   communicating with various handheld devices wirelessly.   
     
     
         19 . A system comprising:
 a memory system; and   one or more processors coupled to the memory system and that are each configured to:   determine that a size of video data associated with a recording operation at a first recording device exceeds an amount of available storage space;   select previously-stored video data for transfer to a second device;   transfer the selected video data from the first recording device to the second device; and   delete the selected video data from the first recording device.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the first recording device is in wireless communication with a network.
