A system, apparatus, and method for utilizing sensor data are described. Various sensors may be used to gather sensor data. The sensor data may be associated with an environment. The environment may be many things such as a vehicle, user, or home, etc. The sensor data may be sent raw, or preprocessed to a server or mobile device via communication links. The server, or mobile device, may help utilize the data. For example, operations may be performed in response to identifying an activity. For example, alerting emergency services based upon identifying a home is on fire. Specific operations performed may be based upon information levels. For example, an information level may alert a home owner and display captured sensor data, while another level may alert the neighbors with a generic text message.

1. A method of utilizing sensor data, comprising: obtaining sensor data, wherein the sensor data is associated with an environment; determining at least one template based upon the sensor data, wherein the at least one determined template is used to identify an activity; and performing at least one operation based on the activity, wherein the performing at least one operation is based upon at least one information level.

[0080] In this manner, the device 100, 200 could chronicle a user's status, and could provide different updates to different social networking services. For instance, a user in a coffee shop might want to update their social networking site (such as FACEBOOK) to indicate to users that they are at the coffee shop. Where the user has more than one social networking site, the user might not want this information on a profession networking site (such as LINKED-IN). Conversely, where the user is in a work related activity, such as at a conference, the social template could be configured to provide the same or different updates on the social and professional networking sites. A similar chronicle of the user's status could be provided on TWITTER or other microblog site. In this way, the device 100, 200 would be able to provide constant feeds and updates to automatically enliven a user's social and professional networking site(s) and/or issue microblogs such as tweets according to a status sensed from the various device sensors 110, 120, 130, 140.
