## Abstract

Methods, devices, and computer programs are presented for consolidating overlapping data provided by multiple sources. One method includes operations for associating a plurality of devices to a user, each device operable to capture data associated with the user, and for receiving, from the plurality of devices, captured data about a first activity associated with a first period of time. Additionally, the method includes operations for detecting that the received captured data from two or more devices provide overlapping information about the first activity, and for evaluating one or more rules for consolidating the overlapping information to produce consolidated data. The consolidated data provides a unified view of the first activity during the first period of time. The consolidated data is stored in permanent storage and made available for presentation to the user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
associating a plurality of devices to a user, each device operable to capture data associated with the user;
receiving, from the plurality of devices, captured data about a first activity associated with a first period of time;
detecting that the received captured data from two or more devices provide overlapping information about the first activity;
evaluating one or more rules for consolidating the overlapping information to produce consolidated data, the consolidated data providing a unified view of the first activity during the first period of time; and
storing the consolidated data for presentation to the user, wherein operations of the method are executed by a processor.
