Bookmarking and annotating in a media diary application
First Claim
1. An application for accessing media files on a digital device, the application comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer-readable program instructions embodied in the medium, the computer-readable program instructions comprising:
- first instructions for generating a media view that provides access to digital media files and associates digital media files with a period of time;
second instructions for generating an information identifier that is associated with at least one item of information including at least one of a digital media file, a calendared event and a period of time, wherein the information identifier enhances identification of the at least one item of information by displaying a frame around the at least one item of information based on metadata associated with the item of information; and
third instructions for generating a time bar that divides time into segments having a size that depends upon the digital media files in the media view associated with a respective segment of time.
