Device identification and monitoring system and method
First Claim
1. A method for collecting and recognizing information from a monitoring device, comprising:
- on a mobile computer device capturing an image of the monitoring device, wherein the image comprises at least;
(i) monitored data tracked or acquired by the monitoring device, and (ii) a portion of the monitoring device sufficient to recognize the monitoring device;
the mobile computer device automatically creating a note of the captured image on the mobile computer device, wherein the created note is stored;
recognizing and converting the monitored data visible in the captured image into quantifiable numeric data and enriching the created note with the quantifiable numeric data;
recognizing the monitoring device data and enriching the created note with the monitoring device data;
enriching the created note by automatically associating the created note with one or more context traits, wherein the one or more context traits are automatically obtained by sensors of the mobile computer device; and
visualizing on the mobile computing device the quantifiable numeric data of the created note.

Abstract
A method and system for collecting and recognizing information from a monitoring device is provided. On a mobile computer device a user can capture an image of a monitoring device. The image captures at least two aspects: (1) monitored data tracked or acquired by the monitoring device, and (2) a portion of the monitoring device sufficient to recognize the monitoring device. Recognition functions are provided for: (1) recognizing and converting the monitored data visible in the captured image into quantifiable data, and (2) for recognizing the monitoring device. A note taking function can be provided to allow a user to create notes. The notes can be enriched with the quantifiable data and/or the recognized monitoring device (or vice versa). A suggestion function can be provided for suggesting services where the quantifiable data, the recognized monitoring device, and/or the notes can be bound.
