Abstract

A method for bookmarking digital media includes receiving bookmark content by a digital media device, the bookmark content corresponding to an instance of digital media; determining a source identifier corresponding to the instance of digital media by the digital media device; and storing the bookmark content and the source identifier in a digital media bookmark on the digital media device. A digital media device for bookmarking digital media is configured to receive bookmark content, the bookmark content corresponding to an instance of digital media located on the digital media device, the digital media device further configured to determine a source identifier corresponding to the instance of digital media, and to store the bookmark content and the source identifier in a digital media bookmark.

Claims

1. A method for bookmarking digital media, the method comprising:

receiving bookmark content by a digital media device, the bookmark content corresponding to an instance of digital media;

determining a source identifier corresponding to the instance of digital media by the digital media device; and

storing the bookmark content and the source identifier in a digital media bookmark on the digital media device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the bookmark content comprises voice content.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising converting the voice content to text content.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the bookmark content comprises text content.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising transferring the digital media bookmark to a second device.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising identifying the instance of digital media based on the source identifier stored in the digital media bookmark at the second device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the source identifier comprises a constant.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the source identifier comprises a checksum.

9. A digital media device for bookmarking digital media, the digital media device configured to receive bookmark content, the bookmark content corresponding to an instance of digital media located on the digital media device, the digital media device further configured to determine a source identifier corresponding to the instance of digital media, and to store the bookmark content and the source identifier in a digital media bookmark.

10. The digital media device of claim 9, wherein the bookmark content comprises voice content.

11. The digital media device of claim 9, wherein the bookmark content comprises text content.

12. The digital media device of claim 9, wherein the source identifier comprises a constant.

13. The digital media device of claim 9, wherein the source identifier comprises a checksum.

14. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium containing computer code that, when executed by a computer, implements a method for digital media bookmarking, wherein the method comprises:

receiving bookmark content, the bookmark content corresponding to an instance of digital media;

determining a source identifier corresponding to the instance of digital media; and

storing the bookmark content and the source identifier in a digital media bookmark.

15. The computer program product according to claim 14, wherein the bookmark content comprises voice content.

16. The computer program product according to claim 14, wherein the bookmark content comprises text content.

17. The computer program product according to claim 14, further comprising transferring the digital media bookmark to a second device.

18. The computer program product according to claim 14, further comprising identifying the instance of digital media based on the source identifier stored in the digital media bookmark at the second device.

19. The computer program product according to claim 14, wherein the source identifier comprises a constant.

20. The computer program product according to claim 14, wherein the source identifier comprises a checksum.
