Semantic note taking system
First Claim
1. A method for collecting information, enriching the information, and binding the information to services, said method comprising:
- (a) providing a note taking function to allow a user to create a note on a user device, wherein said created note is stored;
(b) providing a categorizing function to label said note with one or more categories, wherein one or more of said categories of said note is changeable;
(c) generating a code to label a physical object, wherein said code is associated with said note;
(d) imaging said code, wherein said code is placed on or near said physical object; and
(e) linking said physical object with said note based on said imaged code.

Abstract
A semantic note taking system and method for collecting information, enriching the information, and binding the information to services is provided. User-created notes are enriched with labels, context traits, and relevant data to minimize friction in the note-taking process. In other words, the present invention is directed to collecting unscripted data, adding more meaning and use out of the data, and binding the data to services. Mutable and late-binding to services is also provided to allow private thoughts to be published to a myriad of different applications and services in a manner compatible with how thoughts are processed in the brain. User interfaces and semantic skins are also provided to derive meaning out of notes without requiring a great deal of user input. Linking physical objects to notes are also provided, such as through QR codes.

14. A system for collection information, enriching the information, and binding the information to services, said system comprising:
-
an application server, wherein a plurality of users are communicatively connected to said application server to create one or more notes, wherein a plurality of services are communicatively connected to said application server, and wherein said notes can be bound to one or more of said services; a database for storing said notes created by said users; and a camera for imaging a code, wherein said code is placed on or near a physical object, wherein said code is used for linking said physical object with one or more of said notes, wherein said application server operates a plurality of functions, said functions comprising; (a) a note taking function for allowing each of said users to create one or more of said note, wherein each of said notes comprises text, audio media, visual media, audio-visual media, recorded data, a weblink, a pointer to an information source, or any combination thereof; (b) a categorizing function for labeling each of said notes with one or more categories, wherein one or more of said categories is changeable; (c) a code generating function for generating a code to label a physical object, wherein said code is associated with said note; and (d) a linking function for linking said physical object labeled with said code with one or more of said notes. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
