1. A system for linking media comprising:
- a media-capture server operable to receive media clips and parameters from a plurality of sources, wherein the parameters comprise time information, proximity information and content information of the media-clips, and wherein the media-capture server is further operable to receive annotations corresponding to the media clips;
a media classifier operable to classify the media clips based on at least one parameter; and
a media linker operable to link related media clips based upon the at least one parameter.

Abstract
A system and method for linking media that is captured and then classified based on a set of parameters, such that related media is linked for further analysis by a user. The parameters include temporal, proximity, and content information in the form of metadata that is extracted from each media clip received in the system. The linked media provides for complex analysis of collaboratively-captured media from multiple sources and the sharing of related media between users. The system further links annotations included with captured media to provide analysis of collaboratively-annotated media and aid users in accessing and synthesizing large amounts of collaboratively-captured media.

19. A computer programming product, embodied on a computer-readable medium, comprising a set of instructions for linking media, the set of instructions, when executed by one or more processors causing the one or more processors to:
-
receive media clips and other parameters from a plurality of sources, wherein the parameters comprise time information, proximity information and content information of the media-clips, and wherein the media-capture server is further able to receive annotations corresponding to the media clips; classify the media clips based on at least one parameter; link related media clips based upon the at least one parameter; and output a visual representation of the linked media clips to a user. - View Dependent Claims (20)
