Abstract

A system and method is provided for handling data in wireless communication devices where data may be captured and linked to a personal journal via indexing and mapping of context data tags abstracted from captured data. The captured data may be retrieved by matching a query to one or more context data tags indexed and mapped to the personal journal. A user preference utilizing one or more of the context data tags linked to the personal journal may facilitate captured data retrieval. The captured data may include multimedia data of an event pre-tagged with indexed information such as user ID, time, date, location and environmental condition or optionally one or more user'"'"'s biometric data in response to the event. The pre-tagged captured data may be stored in the local host device or transferred to a remote host or storage for later retrieval or post processing.

Claims

1. A method for handling data in wireless devices, the method comprising:

tagging data in a wireless mobile communication device with context data tags while said data is being generated and/or maintained in said wireless mobile communication device, wherein said tagged data is utilized to create and/or maintain a personal journal in said wireless mobile communication device.

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising tagging said data with said context data tags utilizing user preference information.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein said user preference information is stored in said wireless mobile communication device

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein at least a portion of said user preference information is stored external to said wireless mobile communication device

5. The method according to claim 2, wherein said user preference information comprises time and/or date stamp associated with said data.

6. The method according to claim 2, wherein said user preference information comprises location stamping associated with location of said wireless mobile communication device during said generation and/or maintenance of said data.

7. The method according to claim 2, wherein said user preference information comprises device utilization information associated with said data.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein said device utilization information comprises information associated with one or more applications utilized in conjunction with said generation and/or maintenance of said data.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein said one or more applications comprise calendar and/or scheduling information.

10. The method according to claim 2, comprising retrieving of said tagged data in said wireless mobile communication device based on matching said context data tags to at least a specified prompt to said user preference information.

11. The method according to claim 10, comprising determining occurrence of said at least specified prompt based on operations, applications, and/or accessory devices utilized in said user preference information.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein said applications comprise at least one of search by text application, image pattern recognition application, biometric event pattern recognition application or speech recognition applications.

13. The method according to claim 1, wherein said personal journal comprises indexed context data tags mapped to said tagged data.

14. The method according to claim 1, comprising performing said generation and/or maintenance of said data in said wireless mobile communication device based on at least a specified event.

15. The method according to claim 14, comprising determining presence of said at least said specified event based on information derived from operations, applications, and/or accessory devices utilized in said wireless mobile communication device.

16. The method according to claim 15, wherein said applications comprise calendar and/or scheduling application.

17. A system for handling data in wireless devices, the system comprising:

at least one processor within a wireless mobile communication device that tags data with context data tags while said data is being generated and/or maintained in said wireless mobile communication device, wherein said tagged data is utilized to create and/or maintain a personal journal in said wireless mobile communication device.

18. The system according to claim 17, wherein said context data tags comprise user preference information.

19. The system according to claim 18, wherein said user preference information is stored in said wireless mobile communication device

20. The system according to claim 18, wherein said at least one processor enables storing of at least a portion of said user preference information external to said wireless mobile communication device

21. The system according to claim 18, wherein said user preference information comprises time and/or date stamp associated with said data.

22. The system according to claim 18, wherein said user preference information comprises location stamping associated with location of said wireless mobile communication device during said generation and/or maintenance of said data.

23. The system according to claim 18, wherein said user preference information comprises device utilization information associated with said data.

24. The system according to claim 23, wherein said device utilization information comprises information associated with one or more applications utilized in conjunction with said generation and/or maintenance of said data.

25. The system according to claim 24, wherein said one or more applications comprise calendar and/or scheduling information.

26. The system according to claim 18, wherein said at least one processor retrieves said tagged data in said wireless mobile communication device based on matching said context data tags to at least a specified prompt to said user preference information.

27. The system according to claim 26, wherein said at least one processor determines occurrence of said at least specified prompt based on operations, applications, and/or accessory devices utilized in said user preference information.

28. The system according to claim 27, wherein said applications comprise at least one of search by text application, image pattern recognition application, biometric event pattern recognition application or speech recognition applications.

29. The system according to claim 17, wherein said personal journal comprises indexed context data tags mapped to said tagged data.

30. The system according to claim 17, wherein said at least one processor performs said generation and/or maintenance of said data in said wireless mobile communication device based on at least a specified event.

31. The system according to claim 30, wherein said at least one processor determines presence of said at least said specified event based on information derived from operations, applications, and/or accessory devices utilized in said wireless mobile communication device.

32. The system according to claim 31, wherein said applications comprise calendar and/or scheduling application.
