                                                         BACKGROUND                                                                   
                       The invention relates to a system and method for real-time transfer of multimedia                              
               material from a remote device to a centralized multi-media storage unit, wherein the                                   
               multimedia material may be later combined with extrinsic material.   Claim 1 is                                        
               reproduced below.1                                                                                                     
                       1.      An apparatus for the storage and modification of multi-media data,                                     
                       comprising:                                                                                                    
                               a data recording unit configured to generate media data, wherein the                                   
                       media data comprises at least one of audio data or image data of a recorded                                    
                       event;                                                                                                         
                               a transmitter unit communicably linked to said recording unit and                                      
                       configured to receive said media data from said data recording unit and transmit                               
                       said media data via a digital mobile network in real time as it is generated by said                           
                       data recording unit; and                                                                                       
                               a first server unit configured to receive and store said media data                                    
                       transmitted from the transmitter.
