Method and device for organizing user provided information with meta-information

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for organizing user provided information being available in a mobile terminal device with meta-information for allowing retrieving of the user provided information and a device being capable to perform the method. The user provided information is obtained in consequence on any user operation against the mobile terminal device and context information is obtaier provided information and the context information. Further, the method for organizing user provided information is adapted to organize User provided audio information by embedding meta-information into the User provided audio information. The embedding is based on a set of code bases representing a plurainformation is combined with embedding the mapped meta-information into the user provided audio information.lity of coding symbols and the set of code bases is adapted to enable a mapping of the meta-information into the a plurality of coding symbols. The user provided audio information and the mapped meta-ned which is associated with the User provided information. The meta-information is obtained from the context information and assigned to the user provided information. The user provided information and the meta-information is stored in a history storage in order to establish an information history functionality. The meta-information is employed for retrieval of the User provided information by matching request information: provided with a retrieval request with the meta-information for selecting a user provided information being assigned to the matching meta-information. Further, the method for organizing user provided information employs calendar information for obtaining meta-information. The calendar information is obtained from an electronic calendar implemented in the mobile terminaldevice. The calendar information is matched with user provided information to obtain the meta-information. Further, the method for organizing user provided information is adapted to organize user provided audio information. The user provided audio information is obtained, recorded and stored. During the recording additional user provided information and context information relating to the recording operation is obtained. The meta-information comprising information about the additional us

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for organizing user-provided information using meta-information. Specifically, the user-provided information is user-provided audio information. Meta information is received from and logically related to contextual information available in conjunction with user provided information. The invention is extremely useful in the field of mobile terminal devices and mobile network devices that are increasingly encountered handling large amounts of data of different types and kinds that are somewhat related. Background technique [0002] The spread of mobile electronic devices among the populations of industrialized countries is growing more and more rapidly, and at the same time, the acceptance of the use of those mobile electronic devices has increased dramatically due to the advantages they offer compared to traditional paper-based applications . The ability of mobile electronic devices to collect, ...
