System and method for creating metadata
First Claim
1. A system for creating metadata using a network and a media capturing device connected to the network wherein the media capturing device creates a first media file at a location at a time and a date and further wherein the media capturing device transmits the first media file to the network, the system comprising:
- a first content tag associated with the first media file wherein the first content tag identifies the time and the date that the first media file was created;
a database of a plurality of events which stores event details for each of the plurality of events wherein the database uses the content tag to identify the time and the date that the first media file was created and further wherein the database compares the time and the date that the first media file was created to the event details of one or more of the plurality of events wherein the database determines a matching event from the plurality of events and further wherein the event details of the matching event correspond to the time and the date that the first media file was created;
a second content tag which is associated with the first media file based on determination of the matching event for the first media file by the database; and
a webpage for the matching event wherein media files having the second content tag are accessed from the webpage by remote users in response to user input into the webpage and further wherein the first media file is accessed by the remote users in response to user input into the webpage which selects the first media file from the media files.

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.

-
a first content tag associated with the first media file wherein the first content tag identifies the time and the date that the first media file was created; a database of a plurality of events which stores event details for each of the plurality of events wherein the database uses the content tag to identify the time and the date that the first media file was created and further wherein the database compares the time and the date that the first media file was created to the event details of one or more of the plurality of events wherein the database determines a matching event from the plurality of events and further wherein the event details of the matching event correspond to the time and the date that the first media file was created; a second content tag which is associated with the first media file based on determination of the matching event for the first media file by the database; and a webpage for the matching event wherein media files having the second content tag are accessed from the webpage by remote users in response to user input into the webpage and further wherein the first media file is accessed by the remote users in response to user input into the webpage which selects the first media file from the media files. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A computer-implemented method for creating metadata for media files created by a plurality of users wherein file information is associated with each of the media files and further wherein the file information identifies a location, a time and a date of creation of the corresponding media file wherein a database of events stores event information for each of the events and further wherein the event information identifies a location, a time and a date of the corresponding event wherein each of the events is associated with an event title and a content tag and further wherein a first event occurs at a venue and is associated with a first event title and a first content tag, the method comprising the steps of:
-
performing a comparison of the location, the time and the date of creation of a first media file of the media files to the location, the time and the date of one or more of the events; using the comparison to determine if one of the events is a matching event for the first media file wherein the location, the time and the date of creation of the first media file of the media files corresponds to the location, the time and the date of the matching event and further wherein the comparison indicates that the first event is the matching event for the first media file; associating the matching event with the media files for which the location, the time and the date of creation correspond to the event information of the matching event and further wherein the first event is associated with the first media file; associating the event title of the matching event with the media files associated with the matching event wherein the first event title is associated with the first media file; and associating the content tag of the matching event with the media files associated with the matching event wherein the first content tag is associated with the first media file. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer-implemented method for creating metadata for a first media file created at a first location at a first time on a first date by a first media capturing device used by a first user wherein a database of events stores event details for each of the events and further wherein the event details specify a location, a time, and a date for each of the events, the method comprising the steps of:
-
performing a comparison of the first location, the first time, and the first date to the location, the time and the date associated with one or more of the events; using the comparison to determine for the first media file a matching event from the events wherein the location, the time and the date identified by the event details of the matching event correspond respectively to the first location, the first time, and the first date; and associating a first content tag with the first media file wherein the first content tag is associated with the first media file based on the matching event. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
