SESSION AUTOMATED RECORDING TOGETHER WITH RULES BASED INDEXING, ANALYSIS AND EXPRESSION OF CONTENT
First Claim
1. A method for characterizing session activity, where the session includes one or more attendees moving along at least one dimension in a session area over a session time, comprising the steps of:
- tracking a set of one or more features about the session attendees, session area or session activity to be characterized throughout the session time forming an object tracking database;
for each desired characterization, designating a corresponding session mark type and pre-establishing a corresponding formula that references one or more of the tracked features in the object tracking database and that is executable each time the object tracking database is updated for determining if the formula result crosses an activity threshold, andissuing uniquely identifiable session marks for the mark type each time the activity threshold is crossed for characterizing that session activity represented by the formula, where the session mark includes the current session time and zero or more of the features as related data that were either used in the formula or available at that time from the object tracking database.

Abstract
A system for contextualizing disorganized content (2a) captured from any live session (1) using external devices 30-xd to first detect & record 30-1 session activities (1d) being conducted by session attendees (1c). Activities (1d) become normalized tracked object data 2-otd for differentiation 30-2 into normalized session marks 3-pm denoting thresholded activity (1d) changes. Normalized marks 3-pm are integrated 30-3 into normalized events 4-pe using a “mark creates, start or stops event” model. Events 4-pe may be synthesized 30-4 via waveform convolution forming new combined events 40se, or used as containers to summarize the occurrences of marks 3-pm or other events 4-pe, the results of which create new summary marks 3-sm. Calculation marks 3-tm may also be synthesized 30-4 for sampling various session data at various session times. During content expression 30-5 events 4-pe and 4-se can be automatically named and foldered creating index (2i) and organized content (2b).
