Method and device for organizing user provided information with meta-information

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for organizing user provided information being available in a mobile terminal device with meta-information for allowing retrieving of the user provided information and a device being capable to perform the method. The user provided information is obtained in consequence on any user operation against the mobile terminal device and context information is obtained which is associated with the User provided information. The meta-information is obtained from the context information and assigned to the user provided information. The user provided information and the meta-information is stored in a history storage in order to establish an information history functionality. The meta-information is employed for retrieval of the User provided information by matching request information: provided with a retrieval request with the meta-information for selecting a user provided information being assigned to the matching meta-information. Further, the method for organizing user provided information employs calendar information for obtaining meta-information. The calendar information is obtained from an electronic calendar implemented in the mobile terminal device. The calendar information is matched with user provided information to obtain the meta-information. Further, the method for organizing user provided information is adapted to organize user provided audio information. The user provided audio information is obtained, recorded and stored. During the recording additional user provided information and context information relating to the recording operation is obtained. The meta-information comprising information about the additional user provided information and the context information. Further, the method for organizing user provided information is adapted to organize User provided audio information by embedding meta-information into the User provided audio information. The embedding is based on a set of code bases representing a plurality of coding symbols and the set of code bases is adapted to enable a mapping of the meta-information into the a plurality of coding symbols. The user provided audio information and the mapped meta-information is combined by embedding the mapped meta-information into the user provided audio information.
