Abstract

A system and method is provided for handling data in wireless communication devices where data may be captured and linked to a personal journal via indexing and mapping of context data tags abstracted from captured data. The captured data may be retrieved by matching a query to one or more context data tags indexed and mapped to the personal journal. A user preference utilizing one or more of the context data tags linked to the personal journal may facilitate captured data retrieval. The captured data may include multimedia data of an event pre-tagged with indexed information such as user ID, time, date, location and environmental condition or optionally one or more user'"'"'s biometric data in response to the event. The pre-tagged captured data may be stored in the local host device or transferred to a remote host or storage for later retrieval or post processing.

Claims

1. A method for handling data in wireless devices, the method comprising:

acquiring data in a wireless mobile communication device, wherein said acquired data comprises a plurality of data segments, wherein a first data segment of said acquired data comprises multimedia content data and a second data segment of said acquired data comprises captured behavioral biometric data of said user during said acquiring of data;

tagging in said wireless mobile communication device, said first data segment with one or more first context data tag; and

storing said tagged acquired data in a personalized journal database in said wireless mobile communication device based on linking said tagged acquired data to a user'"'"'s identity.

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising tagging in said wireless mobile communication device, said second data segment with one or more second context data tag, wherein said one or more second context data tag is mapped to said behavioral biometric data.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein said one or more first and said second context data tags comprise user preference information.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein said user preference information is stored in said wireless mobile communication device.

5. The method according to claim 3, wherein at least a portion of said user preference information is stored external to said wireless mobile communication device.

6. The method according to claim 3, wherein said user preference information comprises at least one of time and date stamp associated with said acquired data and location stamping associated with location of said wireless mobile communication device during said acquiring of said data.

7. The method according to claim 3, wherein said user preference information comprises at least one of device utilization information associated with said acquired data or one or more applications utilized in conjunction with said acquired data.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein said one or more applications comprise calendar or scheduling information.

9. The method according to claim 3, comprising retrieving of said acquired data in said wireless mobile communication device based on matching said one or more first or second context data tag to at least a specified prompt to said user preference information.

10. The method according to claim 9, comprising determining occurrence of said at least specified prompt based at least in part on operations, applications, or accessory devices utilized in said user preference information.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein said applications comprise at least one of search by text application, image pattern recognition application, biometric event pattern recognition application or speech recognition applications.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein said personal journal comprises indexed contrasted condition context data tags mapped to said behavioral biometric data.

13. The method according to claim 12, wherein said applications comprise algorithms for generating mental state and character condition based on said generated behavioral biometric data.

14. The method according to claim 1, comprising linking a plurality of tagged acquired data concurrently taken from a plurality of mobile communication devices to generate a multiple segment data frame for storage in said personalized journal data base.

15. A system for handling data in wireless devices, the system comprising:

one or more circuits, processors, or any combination thereof operable to acquire data within a wireless mobile communication device, wherein said acquired data comprises a plurality of data segments, wherein a first data segment of said acquired data comprises multimedia content data and a second data segment of said acquired data comprises captured behavioral biometric data of said user during said acquiring of data; and

said one or more circuits, processors, or any combination thereof within said wireless mobile communication device is operable to tag said first data segment of said acquired data with one or more first context data tag, and wherein said tagged acquired data are stored in a personalized journal database in said wireless mobile communication device based on linking said tagged acquired data to a user'"'"'s identity.

16. The system according to claim 15, wherein said one or more circuits, processors, or any combination thereof enables tagging said second data segment with one or more second context data tag, wherein said one or more second context data tag is mapped to said behavioral biometric data.

17. The system according to claim 15, wherein said one or more first and said second context data tags comprise user preference information.

18. The system according to claim 17, wherein said user preference information is stored in said wireless mobile communication device.

19. The system according to claim 17, wherein said at least one processor enables storing of at least a portion of said user preference information external to said wireless mobile communication device.

20. The system according to claim 17, wherein said user preference information at least one of time and date stamp associated with said acquired data and location stamping associated with location of said wireless mobile communication device during said acquiring of said data.

21. The system according to claim 17, wherein said user preference information comprises at least one of device utilization information associated with said acquired data or one or more applications utilized in conjunction with said acquired data.

22. The system according to claim 21, wherein said one or more applications comprise calendar or scheduling information.

23. The system according to claim 17, wherein said one or more circuits, processors, or any combination thereof retrieves said tagged acquired data in said wireless mobile communication device based on matching said one or more first or second context data tags to at least a specified prompt to said user preference information.

24. The system according to claim 23, wherein said one or more circuits, processors, or any combination thereof determines occurrence of said at least specified prompt based at least in part on operations, applications, or accessory devices utilized in said user preference information.

25. The system according to claim 24, wherein said applications comprise at least one of search by text application, image pattern recognition application, biometric event pattern recognition application or speech recognition applications.

26. The system according to claim 25, wherein said personal journal comprises indexed contrasted condition context data tags mapped to said behavioral biometric data.

27. The system according to claim 26, wherein said applications comprise algorithms for generating mental state and character condition based on said generated behavioral biometric data.

28. The system according to claim 15, wherein said one or more circuits, processors, or any combination thereof enables linking a plurality of tagged acquired data concurrently taken from a plurality of mobile communication devices to generate a multiple segment data frame for storage in said personalized journal data base.

29. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section for processing data in wireless devices, comprising:

acquiring data in a wireless mobile communication device, wherein said acquired data comprises a plurality of data segments, wherein a first data segment of said acquired data comprises multimedia content data and a second data segment of said acquired data comprises captured behavioral biometric data of said user during said acquiring of data;
