Virtual annotation of a recording on an archival media
First Claim
1. A method for annotating a content bearing medium having a memory the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) obtaining data representing the content borne on the medium;
(b) storing data representing the content borne on the medium in the memory of the medium;
(c) conveying the data stored in the memory to a location remote from the medium;
(d) obtaining annotation data from the remote location; and
, (e) storing the remotely obtained annotation data in the memory.

Abstract
One aspect of the invention provides a method for annotating a content bearing medium having a memory. The method includes obtaining data representing the content borne on the medium and storing the data representing the content borne on the medium in the memory of the medium. The stored data in the memory is conveyed to a location remote from the medium and annotation data is obtained from the remote location. The remotely obtained annotation data is stored in the memory.
In another aspect, the invention provides a method for annotating a plurality of content bearing mediums and includes coupling a transponder having a memory to each one of the mediums, obtaining data representing the content borne on the mediums, storing data representing the content borne on each medium in the memory of the transponder coupled to the medium, archiving the mediums in a storage area. The data stored in the memory of a transponder coupled to a selected one of the mediums, including data representing the content borne on the selected one of the mediums is conveyed to a location remote from the mediums. Annotation data for association with selected one of the medium is remotely obtained. The remotely obtained annotation data is stored in the memory of the transponder coupled to the selected one of the mediums.

23. A system for virtual annotation of selected ones of a plurality of content bearing mediums, the system comprising:
-
a plurality of transponders with at least one transponder associated with each of the mediums, each transponder having a memory adapted to store data;
a transceiver adapted to exchange data with the plurality of transponders;
an input system adapted to convert content borne on each medium into content data and to cause the transceiver to store the content data in the memory of the at least one transponder associated with each medium; and
,a remote processor adapted to cause the transceiver to extract content data from the memory of the at least one transponder associated with at least one of the plurality of mediums, said remote processor having an output device for presenting an output based on the extracted content data and said remote processor further having an annotation input for receiving an annotation to the at least one of plurality of mediums and converting the annotation into annotation data;
with said remote processor further adapted to cause the transceiver to store the annotation data in the memory of the at least one transponder associated with the at least one of the plurality of mediums. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
