Transportable identifier and system and method to facilitate access to broadcast data
First Claim
1. A system to facilitate capture of desired broadcast data, comprising:
- a transportable object that represents a future temporal broadcast of target data; and
metadata encapsulated within the transportable object which enables a user of object to locate the broadcast of the target data so as to enable at least one of monitoring and recording of the target data during broadcast.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed which enable a user to locate target data from a temporal broadcast of data. The system includes a transportable identifier that represents the target data. The identifier further includes metadata that provides sufficient information about the broadcast of the target data such that the target data can be acquired when broadcast. The transportable identifier further may be sent to one or more other users to enable such users to locate the broadcast of the target data. As a result, one or more users may employ identifiers to locate the broadcast of the target data and, in turn, monitor and/or store the target data from the temporal broadcast.

11. A system to facilitate access to a presentation of data, comprising;
-
N number of sources that collect data, N being an integer ≧
1;
an identification system that stamps portions of the collected data with identifying data based on at least one of time, an event or condition, and an entity to provide stamped data;
an aggregator that aggregates portions of the stamped data and provides aggregated data; and
a transportable identifier that identifies a location associated with a temporal presentation of at least a selected portion of the aggregated data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system to facilitate access to a temporal presentation of data, comprising:
-
N number of sources that collect data, N being an integer ≧
1;
an identification system that stamps portions of the collected data with identifying data to provide stamped data;
the identifying data identifying portions of the collected data associated with an entity;
a multiplexer operative to separate stamped data associated with the entity from other of the collected data based on the identifying data; and
an aggregator that aggregates the collected data to provide aggregated data; and
a transportable identifier that identifies a location associated with a temporal presentation of at least a selected portion of the aggregated data that includes data associated with the entity.

20. A system to facilitate access to data, comprising:
-
means for representing a temporal broadcast of target data;
the means for representing being transportable;
means for encapsulating information within the means for representing;
the encapsulated information enabling the temporal broadcast of the target data to be located, such that at least one of monitoring and recording of the target data during the temporal broadcast thereof is enabled. - View Dependent Claims (21)

22. An encoded data signal for transmission between at least two systems, comprising:
-
a transportable object that represents a temporal presentation of target data for broadcast over at least one medium;
at least one data field encapsulated within the object; and
the at least one data field identifying the target data with sufficient particularity to locate the target data in the temporal presentation. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27)

23. A system to facilitate capture of desired broadcast data, comprising:
-
a transportable object that represents a future temporal broadcast of target data;
the broadcast of the target data occurring substantially independently from use of the object;
metadata encapsulated within the transportable object; and
the metadata including information that enables a user of object to locate the broadcast of the target data so as to facilitate at least one of monitoring and recording of the target data during broadcast.

24. A method to facilitate at least one of monitoring and recording a temporal presentation of target data, comprising:
-
providing a transportable identifier that represents the target data, the identifier including metadata that identifies a future temporal presentation of the target data; and
locating the temporal presentation of the target data based on the metadata so that the target data can be at least one of monitored and recorded during the temporal presentation.
