More Information
Summary:The invention concerns an apparatus and method for the gathering of data relating to aspects of a user's surroundings, particularly to the logging and subsequent retrieval of environmental data. In embodiments of the invention, the apparatus comprises one or more logging stations ( 10 ), a data bank ( 20 ), a user station ( 30 ) and a contributor station ( 40 ). Each user has a user identifier card ( 50 ) on which logging preferences may be stored. Each logging station ( 10 ) is arranged for recognizing a period during which a user is present, and logging personal data according to the logging preferences while the user is present. Further, when the user is no longer at a particular logging station ( 10 ), the logging station in question transmits information including user ID and logged data to the data bank ( 20 ), from which the user station ( 30 ) may later retrieve the information.
