DCFirst Claim
1. A system for capturing image and audio information for storage in a database at a location on a network, comprising:
- a microphone interfaceable with an external audio information source that generates external audio information and a first data converter for capturing the external audio information from the microphone,a camera interfacing with an external image source to capture an image therefrom;
the first data converter processing the captured external audio information and storing it in a first digital audio format as stored digital audio within the capture device, the camera for processing the captured image and storing it as a stored digital image;
a data capture device for capturing, as captured data, location information and time information associated with at least the capture of the image and storing the captured data as stored captured data;
a data combiner for combining the stored digital audio, stored digital image and stored captured data as a composite data set;
an encryptor for encrypting the composite data set as an encrypted composite data set;
a transmitter for transmitting the encrypted composite data set to the location on the network; and
a system disposed at the location on the network and including;
a receiver for receiving the transmitted encrypted composite data set from the transmitter,a decryptor decrypting the received encrypted composite data set as a decrypted composite data set to provide the decrypted composite data set as a received set of decrypted captured information,a system data converter for converting the received digital audio in the decrypted composite data set to a text based searchable file as a text context tag and creating an image recognition searchable context tag with image recognition of at least a portion of the digital image in the decrypted composite data set and associating the text and image recognition context tags with the digital image in the received decrypted composite data set, andthe database storing the digital image in the decrypted composite data set in association with the text and image recognition context tags as a stored context based digital image and in association with the received captured data in the decrypted composite data set.

Abstract
This invention relates to a network interface device. A first capture device interfaces with a first external information source to capture first external information. A processor processes the captured first external information and stores it in a first media. The processor initiates the storage of the first captured information at an initial time and completes storage of the first captured information at a completion time, thus providing a stored defined set of first captured information. A transmitter transmits the defined set of stored captured information to a remote location on a network. A remote processing system is disposed at the remote node on the network and includes a database and a receiver for receiving the transmitted defined set of first captured information. A data converter is operable to convert the received defined set of first captured information to a second format. The database stores the set of converted captured information.
