APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTENT ITEM ANNOTATION
First Claim
1. A method of content item annotation, the method comprising:
- determining a group of communication identities associated with a group of users associated with a first user;
generating first characterising data for user group communications within the group of users, the first characterising data comprising at least one of context data and content data for the user group communications;
receiving a content item in a first communication from a communication identity of the group of communication identities;
generating second characterising data comprising at least one of context data and content data for at least one of the content item and the first communication; and
generating annotation data for the content item in response to the first characterising data and the second characterising data.

Abstract
An apparatus for content item annotation comprises a user group processor (105) for determining a group of communication identities associated with a group of users associated with a user of the apparatus. A user group communication processor (109) monitors user group communications within the group of users and generates first characterising data for these where the first characterising data comprises at least one of context and content data for the user group communications. A communication processor (103) receives a content item in a first communication from a communication identity of the group of communication identities and a data processor (111) generates second characterising data for the first communication. An annotation processor (113) then generates annotation data for the content item in response to the first characterising data and the second characterising data. Specifically, suggested annotation data may be generated on the basis of characteristics of previous communications within a user group linked to the current communication.
