Transportable identifier and system and method to facilitate access to broadcast data
First Claim
1. A system to facilitate capture of desired broadcast data, comprising:
- a transportable object that represents a future temporal broadcast of target data to facilitate data communications between users of the transportable object;
metadata encapsulated within the transportable object that describes a location of the broadcast of the target data so as to enable at least one of monitoring and recording of the target data during broadcast; and
a recognition system that identifies identity of an entity based on a pattern of characteristics associated with the entity.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed which enable a user to locate target data from a temporal broadcast of data. The system includes a transportable identifier that represents the target data. The identifier further includes metadata that provides sufficient information about the broadcast of the target data such that the target data can be acquired when broadcast. The transportable identifier further may be sent to one or more other users to enable such users to locate the broadcast of the target data. As a result, one or more users may employ identifiers to locate the broadcast of the target data and, in turn, monitor and/or store the target data from the temporal broadcast.

11. A system to facilitate access to a presentation of data, comprising;
-
N number of sources that collect data, N being an integer ≧
1;a recognition system that identifies identity of an entity based on a pattern of characteristics associated with the entity; an identification system that stamps portions of the collected data with identifying data based on at least one of time, an event or condition, and the entity to provide stamped data; an aggregator that aggregates portions of the stamped data and provides aggregated data; and a transportable identifier that identifies a location associated with a temporal presentation of at least a selected portion of the aggregated data, the transportable identifier facilitates data communications among multiple users of the transportable identifier. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system to facilitate access to a temporal presentation of data, comprising:
-
N number of sources that collect data, N being an integer ≧
1;a recognition component that based on a pattern of characteristics determines identity of an entity; an identification system that stamps portions of the collected data with identifying data to provide stamped data, the identifying data identifies portions of the collected data associated with an entity; a multiplexer that separates stamped data associated with the entity from other of the collected data based on the identifying data; an aggregator that aggregates the collected data to provide aggregated data; and a transportable identifier that identifies a location associated with a temporal presentation of at least a selected portion of the aggregated data that includes data associated with the entity, the transportable identifier facilitates communication of information between users of the transportable identifier.

20. A system to facilitate access to data, comprising:
-
means for representing a temporal broadcast of target data, the means for representing being transportable; means for encapsulating information within the means for representing, the encapsulated information enabling the temporal broadcast of the target data to be located, such that at least one of monitoring and recording of the target data during the temporal broadcast thereof is enabled; means for evaluating a pattern relating to characteristics of an entity and determining identity of the entity intended to receive the target date; and means for enabling recipients of the encapsulating information to communicate data amongst themselves. - View Dependent Claims (21)

22. A system to facilitate capture of desired broadcast data, comprising:
-
a transportable object that represents a future temporal broadcast of target data and facilitates communication of data between recipients of the transportable object; the broadcast of the target data occurring substantially independently from use of the object; metadata encapsulated within the transportable object, the metadata includes information that describes the location of the broadcast of the target data so as to facilitate at least one of monitoring and recording of the target data during broadcast; and a pattern recognition component that evaluates a pattern relating to characteristics of an entity associated with the target data and identifies the entity.

23. A method to facilitate at least one of monitoring and recording a temporal presentation of target data, comprising:
-
providing a transportable identifier that represents the target data;
the identifier including metadata that identifies a future temporal presentation of the target data;locating the temporal presentation of the target data based on the metadata so that the target data can be at least one of monitored and recorded during the temporal presentation; and detecting a pattern tat is based on characteristics of an entity associated with the target data to discern an identity of the entity. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)
