1. A method for textually annotating recorded content, the method comprising:
- at a computing device having a computing environment comprising at least one executing program, recording display information, relating to an output of the at least one executing program, in a file;
detecting a change of a display state in the computing environment effecting the display information by;
receiving a notification in a case where the change of the display state triggers a notification to be provided, andquerying a current display state and comparing the current display state to a stored record of a previous display state in a case where the change of the display state does not trigger the notification to be provided; and
textually annotating the recorded display information, with information indicating the detected change, in response to the detected change.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for automatic content marking. In one embodiment, display information is recorded, a change in the computing environment is detected, and the recorded display information is marked in response to the detected change. A human-readable description of the change associated with the mark may also be stored. A change in the computing environment may be detected by detecting an event that reflects a change in the computing environment.

23. An apparatus for recording and textually annotating content associated with a computing device having a computing environment comprising at least one executing program, the apparatus comprising:
-
a storage device; a detection module, at the computing device, for detecting a change of a display state in the computing environment effecting display information, relating to an output of the at least one executing program, the detection module operating by; receiving a notification in a case where the change of the display state triggers a notification to be provided, and querying a current display state and comparing the current display state to a stored record of a previous display state in a case where the change of the display state does not trigger the notification to be provided; and a recording module for causing storage of the display information in a file in the storage device, the recording module being responsive to the detection module and textually annotating the recorded display information, with information indicating the detected change, in response to the detected change. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium containing instructions for a computing device having a computing environment comprising at least one executing program, the set of instructions comprising:
-
instructions for recording, at the computing device, display information, relating to an output of the at least one executing program, in a file; instructions for detecting, at the computing device, a change of a display state in the computing environment effecting the display information by; receiving a notification in a case where the change of the display state triggers a notification to be provided, and querying a current display state and comparing the current display state to a stored record of a previous display state in a case where the change of the display state does not trigger the notification to be provided; and instructions for textually annotating the recorded display information, with information indicating the detected change, in response to the detected change. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57)
