System for playing files associated with tagged interest items
First Claim
1. An electronic tagging and playback system for displaying playback files associated with tagged interest items, comprising:
- an electronic tag storing a wirelessly accessible tag ID and disposed upon at least one physical interest item of a user;
a communications device having a tag scanner associated with a playback application that is activatable by the user for retrieving the tag ID when the tag scanner is within a proximity zone of the electronic tag, the playback application comprising a graphical user interface (GUI) having a capture architecture presenting a number of pre-configured screens on the GUI that guide the user in generating and storing a playback file associated with the tag ID, the playback file comprising at least two media components including at least one new user-generated media component not previously stored on the communications device or any other device; and
a playback database communicatively linked to the playback application and storing the playback file associated with the tag ID, wherein;
the playback file is uploaded to the playback database by the user via the playback application; and
the playback file is displayed by the communications device when the playback application is activated and after the tag ID has been retrieved.

Abstract
The application provides an electronic tagging and playback system and methods of use for displaying files associated with tagged interest items. System embodiments may comprise an electronic tag storing a tag ID and disposed on at least one user interest item. A communications device may have a tag scanner in communication with a playback application activatable by the user for retrieving the tag ID when the tag scanner is in a proximity zone of the tag. A playback database may link to the playback application and may contain a playback file associated with the tag ID. The user may upload the playback file for a number of purposes, including memory enhancement, displaying a reminder, and/or assisting with language learning. The playback file may be any appropriate file displayed by the communication device when the playback application is activated and after the tag ID has been retrieved. Other embodiments are disclosed.

14. A method for displaying information associated with tagged items of interest, comprising:
-
disposing, upon a physical interest item of a user, an electronic tag having a wirelessly accessible tag ID stored within the electronic tag; initiating a playback application installed upon a communications device, the playback application in communication with a tag scanner configured to activate the electronic tag within a proximity zone of the tag scanner, the playback application comprising a graphical user interface (GUI) having a capture architecture presenting a number of pre-configured screens on the GUI that guide a user in generating and storing a playback file associated with the tag ID; using the pre-configured screens of the capture architecture of the playback application, generating a least one new media component not previously stored on the communications device or any other device; using the playback application, storing a playback file in a playback database in communication with the playback application, the playback file associated with the tag ID and including the at least one new media component generated via the pre-configured screens of the capture architecture of the playback application; activating the tag scanner; retrieving the tag ID from the electronic tag; receiving, from the playback database, the playback file; and displaying, via the GUI of the playback application, the playback file to the user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for displaying information associated with items of interest to a user, comprising:
-
generating, using a playback application operating upon a user communications device having a tag scanner, at least one new media component not previously stored on the communications device or any other device; storing, within a playback database in communication with the playback application installed upon the user communications device, a playback file including the at least one new media component, the playback file associated with a wirelessly accessible tag ID stored on an RFID tag, the RFID tag attached to a physical user interest item, the playback application comprising a graphical user interface (GUI) having a capture architecture presenting a number of pre-configured screens on the GUI that guide the user in the generating the at least one new media component and the storing the playback file associated with the tag ID; detecting, via the tag scanner when the tag scanner and the RFID tag are both located within a proximity zone, the tag ID stored on the RFID tag; in response to the detecting, retrieving the playback file from the playback database; and displaying, via the GUI of the playback application, the playback file to the user. - View Dependent Claims (20)
