System and method for creating metadata
First Claim
1. A method for creating metadata, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a database of a plurality of events wherein each of the plurality of events is associated with event details;
creating a first media file at a first location;
associating a first content tag with the first media file;
comparing the first content tag to the event details of the plurality of events;
determining a matching event from the plurality of events wherein the event details of the matching event correspond to the first content tag associated with the first media file;
associating a second content tag with the first media file wherein the second content tag is based on the matching event;
creating a content list that lists the first media file and a second media file wherein the second media file has a third content tag;
accepting user input that provides a parameter; and
displaying search results wherein the search results indicate the first media file if the second content tag corresponds to the parameter and further wherein the search results indicate the second media file if the third content tag corresponds to the parameter.

Abstract
A system and a method create metadata for media files. The metadata may be information relating to, based on and/or associated with the media files. The metadata of the media files may be searched by one or more terminals. An event database connectable to a terminal may use a location, a date and/or a time of creation of the media files to associate specific events with the media files. Further, the specific events may be used by the database to create keywords associated with the media files. As a result, the system and the method may organize and/or may provide searching for media files. A web page may be generated for an event that accumulates the media files related to the event.

8. A method for creating metadata, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a database of a plurality of events wherein each of the plurality of events is associated with event information; creating a first media file with a media capturing device; associating file information with the first media file; comparing the file information to the event information; determining if one of the plurality of events is a matching event wherein the event information of the matching event corresponds to the file information; associating a first title with the first media file wherein the first title is based on the matching event if the plurality of events has the matching event and further wherein the first title is a default title if the plurality of events does not have the matching event; and associating a content tag with the first media file wherein the content tag is based on the first title. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for creating metadata, the system comprising:
-
a network; a media capturing device connected to the network wherein the media capturing device creates a first media file and further wherein the media capturing device determines a location of the media capturing device when the first media file was created wherein the media capturing device determines a time and a date that the first media file was created and further wherein the media capturing device transmits the first media file to the network; and a database connected to the network wherein the database has a plurality of events and further wherein each of the plurality of events is associated with event information wherein the database compares the event information to the location of the media capturing device when the first media file was created and the time and the date that the first media file was created wherein the database associates the first media file with a matching event of the plurality of events and further wherein the event information of the matching event corresponds to the location of the media capturing device when the first media file was created and the time and the date that the media file was created wherein the database associates a first content tag with the first media file wherein the first content tag is based on the matching event. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
