First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of matching individual recordings in a sequence of recordings with corresponding items in a sequence of auxiliary data items concerning those recordings, the method comprising the steps of:
- time stamping the recordings from one clock;
time stamping the auxiliary data items from another clock, and subsequently matching the pattern of time intervals between timestamps of the sequence of recordings with the pattern of time intervals between timestamps of the sequence of auxiliary data items whereby to match up the recordings with the auxiliary data items.

Abstract
In order to match up individual recordings in a sequence (150) of recordings with corresponding items in a sequence (151) of separately-stored auxiliary data items concerning those recordings, both the recordings and auxiliary data are time-stamped, though from different clocks. The process of subsequently matching up the recordings and auxiliary data involves matching the pattern of timestamps.

8. Apparatus for matching individual recordings in a sequence of recordings with corresponding items in a sequence of auxiliary data items concerning those recordings where the individual recordings have been time stamped from one clock and the individual auxiliary data items have been time stamped from another clock;
- the apparatus comprising;
a first receiver for receiving said sequence of recordings;
a second receiver for receiving said sequence of auxiliary items, wherein said second receiver is the same or different than said first receiver; and
a processor for matching the pattern of time intervals between timestamps to the sequence of recordings with the pattern of time intervals between timestamps of the sequence of auxiliary data items, whereby said recordings are matched up with said auxiliary data items. - View Dependent Claims (9)
