Abstract
A method and system for correlating content with linear media. More particularly, but not exclusively, the method and system correlate synchronous content with linear media by linking the content to a portion of the linear media, and including creating content related to the linear media; identifying a portion of the linear media corrected to the content; and linking the content to the portion; wherein the content is not synchronized with the linear media and the content is created non-contemporaneously with creation of the linear media.

42. A method of correlating content to linear media, comprising:
-
i) creating content related to the linear media;
ii) identifying a portion of the linear media correlated to the content; and
iii) linking the content to the portion;
wherein the content is not synchronized with the linear media, the content is created non-contemporaneously with creation of the linear media, and the link between the content and the portion is a two-way link. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 81)

- 43. A method as claimed in claim 43 further comprising recording the linear media before the creating (i).
-
44. A method as claimed 42, wherein the portion is identified in the identifying (ii) by:
-
playing the linear media; and
a user electing to link the content;
wherein the portion identified is the position within the linear media when the user elects to link content. - View Dependent Claims (45)

65. A method of correlating content with linear media, comprising:
-
i) a plurality of users each identifying a portion within the linear media;
ii) each user creating content relating to the corresponding portion; and
iii) linking each content to its corresponding portion;
wherein the content is not synchronized with the linear media, the content is created non-contemporaneously with creation of the linear media, and the link between each content and its corresponding portion is a two-way link. - View Dependent Claims (66)

67. A method of providing a collaborative media, comprising:
-
i) recording a linear media;
ii) a plurality of users identifying a portion within the linear media;
iii) each user creating content related to the corresponding portion;
iv) linking each content to its corresponding portion;
v) displaying an interface containing the plurality of content to a user;
vi) the user selecting one content; and
vii) the interface displaying the portion of the linear media corresponding to the selected content;
wherein at least one content is not synchronized with the linear media, at least one content is created non-contemporaneously with the creation of the linear media, and each link between each content and its corresponding portion is a two-way link. - View Dependent Claims (68, 69, 70)

71. A system for correlating content with linear media, comprising:
-
a server configured to stream linear media to a client device; and
a client device configured to receive the linear media, to accept user input to identify a portion of the linear media, to create content, and to link the content with the portion, and wherein the link is a two-way link. - View Dependent Claims (72, 73, 80)

74. A system for providing collaborative media, comprising:
-
a first device configured to display linear media, to accept user input to identify a portion of the linear media, to create content, and to link the content with the portion by a two-way link; and
a second device configured to display the content, to receive user input to select the content, and to display the portion of the linear media linked to the content.

75. An apparatus for correlating asynchronous content with linear media, comprising:
-
a memory configured to store the linear media and for storing the content;
an output device configured to output the linear media to a user;
an input device configured to receive user input to assist identification of a portion of the linear media; and
a processor configured to link a portion of the linear media to the content with a two-way link. - View Dependent Claims (76)
-
-
77. A server for correlating asynchronous content with linear media configured to receive content, receive identification of a portion of the linear media, and link the content to the linear media with a two-way link, wherein the content is created non-contemporaneously with the creation of the linear media.
-
78. A client for correlating asynchronous content with linear media configured to create the content, receive user input to assist identification of a portion of the linear media, send the content and the identification to a server, wherein the content is created non-contemporaneously with the creation of the linear media, and to link the content to the linear media with a two-way link.
-
79. Software for correlating asynchronous content with linear media, comprising:
-
a user interface configured to display the linear media, to receive user input to identify a portion of the linear media, and to receive user input to assist the creation of content; and
a collaboration module configured to link the content to the portion of the linear media with a two-way link, wherein the content is created non-contemporaneously with the linear media.
-
-
82. Collaborative media, comprising:
-
linear media;
content; and
timing information providing a two-way link between the content and a portion of the linear media.
