First Claim
1. A method for collecting information and enriching said information, comprising:
- (a) providing a note taking function to multiple users of mobile devices for allowing each of said users to create notes on said respective mobile device;
(b) providing an information capture function to said users of said mobile devices for capturing information;
(i) from a physical object or (ii) of said physical object, wherein said captured information is;
(j) an image of said physical object, (jj) information obtained from said image, (jjj) data obtained via one or more radio-frequencies, (jv) a code pertaining to said physical object, (v) information obtained from said code, (vj) context traits related to said physical object, or (vjj) any combination thereof;
(c) providing a sharing function to said users of said mobile devices for streaming over a communication network and therewith sharing among said users said notes and said captured information; and
(d) providing a categorizing function to said users of said mobile device or operable by an application server and communicatively operable to said users on said mobile devices for categorizing said streamed notes and said streamed information with one or more categories.

Abstract
A semantic note taking system and method for collecting information, enriching the information, and/or 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.
