Abstract

A system and method for capturing and replaying content is provided. The invention includes a base content source, a user system and resources. The invention provides for a knowledge embedding component to provide information associated with the base content. Further, a capturing component captures base content and/or information related to the base content for replay. The invention further provides for a personalization component to filter base content and/or information associated with base content based on a type of user, type of information, historical information and/or personal information.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a capture component configured to obtain base content from a device, wherein the capture component is further configured to store a representation of the base content on a first storage medium; and

a knowledge retrieval component configured to;

determine semantics of the base content,

search a set of resources based on the semantics, and

obtain, based on the semantics of the base content, additional information related to the base content from the set of resources,

wherein the capture component is further configured to receive input that identifies a subset of the additional information, to automatically incorporate the subset of the additional information into the representation of the base content, and to store the representation of the base content and the subset of the additional information on a second storage medium.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the device is a computing device and the base content is at least one a web page, a graphical image, a text document, an audio portion, or a video portion.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the capture component is further configured to store at least one of a user identifier, a time stamp, or a date stamp in association with the base content.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the device is a white board device, and the base content comprises content written on the white board device.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the knowledge retrieval component is further configured to employ optical character recognition on the content written on the white board device to generate a textual representation of the base content.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a personalization component configured to filter at least one of the base content or the subset of the additional information based on at least one of a user role, historical information, personal information, or a context.

7. A method, comprising:

receiving base content from a device;

storing the base content on a first computer-readable storage medium;

analyzing the base content to determine semantics of the base content;

searching a set of resources based on the semantics of the base content;

identifying, based on the semantics, additional information, stored in the set of resources, related to the base content;

receiving a selection of a portion of the additional information;

automatically modifying the base content to incorporate the portion of the additional information; and

storing the base content and the portion of the additional information on a second computer-readable storage medium.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the modifying the base content further comprises storing the portion of the additional information on the second computer-readable storage medium in association with the base content.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising filtering the base content and the portion of the additional information associated based on a user role to generate filtered content.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein the storing comprises storing the base content and the portion of the additional information on a portable-computer-readable storage medium.

11. The method of claim 7, further comprising employing optical character recognition on the base content to generate a textual representation of the base content.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein the searching the set of resources includes searching a knowledge base based on the semantics to determine the set of resources.

13. The method of claim 7, wherein the receiving the base content includes receiving the base content as input written to a white board device.

14. An apparatus, comprising:

an interface configured to receive first input and to display output based on the first input;

a capture component configured to capture the output displayed by the apparatus and to store the output as base content on a first storage medium;

a knowledge retrieval component configured to analyze the base content to determine semantics of the base content and to search a set of resources based on the semantics of the base content to identify additional information, from the set of resources, related to the base content; and

an input device configured to receive second input related to a selection of a portion of the additional information,

wherein the interface is configured to convey the base content and the additional information related to the base content, and the capture component is further configured to automatically incorporate the portion of the additional information into the base content and to store the base content, with the portion of the additional information incorporated, on a second storage medium.

15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the second storage medium is removably coupled to the apparatus.

16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the interface comprise an interface configured to receive, as the first input, hand-written input.

17. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the set of resources includes at least one of web pages, graphical images, text documents, audio streams, or video streams.

18. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the apparatus further comprises a filter component configured to extract a subset of information, from the base content and the additional information incorporated into the base content, for storage on the second storage medium.

19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the filter component is further configured to extract the subset of information based on at least one of a user role or a type of information.

20. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the knowledge retrieval component is further configured to employ optical character recognition on the hand-written input to generate a textual representation of the base content.
