Abstract

In one aspect, a method related to data management includes but is not limited to accepting input for a designation of a reference designator in an audio data stream; accepting input for a designation of a beginning demarcation designator in the audio data stream; accepting input for a designation of an ending demarcation designator in the audio data stream; and accepting input for retaining at a high resolution a portion of the audio data stream beginning substantially at the beginning demarcation designator and ending substantially at the ending demarcation designator. In addition, other method, system, and program product aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and/or text forming a part of the present application.

Claims

1. A method related to data management, the method comprising:

accepting input for a designation of a reference designator in an audio data stream;

accepting input for a designation of a beginning demarcation designator in the audio data stream;

accepting input for a designation of an ending demarcation designator in the audio data stream; and

accepting input for retaining at a high resolution a portion of the audio data stream beginning substantially at the beginning demarcation designator and ending substantially at the ending demarcation designator.

56. A system related to data management, the system comprising:

means for accepting input for a designation of a reference designator in an audio data stream;

means for accepting input for a designation of a beginning demarcation designator in the audio data stream;

means for accepting input for a designation of an ending demarcation designator in the audio data stream; and

means for accepting input for retaining at a high resolution a portion of the audio data stream beginning substantially at the beginning demarcation designator and ending substantially at the ending demarcation designator.

58. A program product related to data management, the program product comprising:

a signal bearing medium bearing one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of a reference designator in an audio data stream;

one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of a beginning demarcation designator in the audio data stream;

one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of an ending demarcation designator in the audio data stream; and

one or more instructions for accepting input for retaining at a high resolution a portion of the audio data stream beginning substantially at the beginning demarcation designator and ending substantially at the ending demarcation designator.

61. The program product of claim 58, wherein the one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of a reference designator in an audio data stream further comprise:

one or more instructions for accepting input for a confirmation of the designation of the reference designator in the audio data stream.

62. The program product of claim 58, wherein the one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of a reference designator in an audio data stream further comprise:

one or more instructions for accepting a tactile input.

71. The program product of claim 58, wherein the one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of a reference designator in an audio data stream further comprise:

one or more instructions for accepting a visual input.

72. The program product of claim 71, wherein the one or more instructions for accepting a visual input further comprise:

one or more instructions for accepting the visual input introduced via an interaction with a graphical user interface feature.

73. The program product of claim 71, wherein the one or more instructions for accepting a visual input further comprise:

one or more instructions for accepting the visual input introduced via an electromagnetic-radiation detection device.

74. The program product of claim 71, wherein the one or more instructions for accepting a visual input further comprise:

one or more instructions for accepting the visual input, wherein the visual input includes data representing stored visual information.

75. The program product of claim 58, wherein the one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of a beginning demarcation designator in the audio data stream further comprise:

one or more instructions for accepting input for a confirmation of the designation of the beginning demarcation designator in the audio data stream.

76. The program product of claim 58, wherein the one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of a beginning demarcation designator in the audio data stream further comprise:

one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of an ending designator of a latest relative silence prior to the reference designator in the audio data stream.

77. The program product of claim 58, wherein the one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of a beginning demarcation designator in the audio data stream further comprise:

one or more instructions for accepting input of a designation of a beginning designator of a sound at the reference designator in the audio data stream.

78. The program product of claim 58, wherein the one or more instructions for accepting input for a designation of a beginning demarcation designator in the audio data stream further comprise:

one or more instructions for accepting input of a designation of an ending designator of a latest sound prior to the reference designator in the audio data stream.
