14. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one storage device storing contents and data sets associated with the respective contents, the contents including a first content, the data sets including a first data set associated with the first content, the first data set including first and second time information, the first time information associated with a first indicator of a public attribute, the second time information associated with a person and with a second indicator of a private attribute, the at least one storage device further storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform steps comprising; receiving a request for content associated with the person and with a specified time period or date, searching the data sets for time information corresponding to the specified time period or date and associated with the person, determining that the second time information of the first data set corresponds to the specified time period or date and is associated with the person, and sending, in response to the request, at least a portion of the first data set and at least a portion of the first content associated with the first data set. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

31. A computer-readable storage device having stored thereon processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method of searching data sets associated with respective contents, the contents including a first content, the data sets including a first data set associated with the first content, the first data set including first and second time information, the first time information associated with a first indicator of a public attribute, the second time information associated with a person and with a second indicator of a private attribute, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request for content associated with the person and with a specified time period or date; searching the data sets for time information corresponding to the specified time period or date and associated with the person; determining that the second time information of the first data set corresponds to the specified time period or date and is associated with the person; and sending, in response to the request, at least a portion of the first data set and at least a portion of the first content associated with the first data set.
