Abstract
A system examines an object descriptor containing metadata, the metadata associated with a first object. The system identifies at least one characteristic of the first object using the metadata, and applies the at least one characteristic of the first object to a second object. The system exports the second object. The second object is formatted with the at least one characteristic of the first object. Prior to examining the object description, the system receives the first object from a user.
Claims33
A computerized device comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor;
- a communications interface;
- and
- an interconnection mechanism coupling the memory, the processor and the communications interface;
- wherein the memory is encoded with a object profiling application that when executed on the processor provides object profiling on the computerized device by performing the operations of:
- examining an object descriptor containing metadata, the metadata associated with a first object;
- identifying at least one formatting characteristic of the first object using the metadata;
- applying the at least one formatting characteristic of the first object to a second object to alter the format of the second object without adding content to the second object, wherein applying the at least one formatting characteristic of the first object to the second object comprises accessing a profile of the first object, the profile defining one or more formatting characteristics of the first object, and formatting the second object according to the profile;
- and
- exporting a formatted version of the second object, wherein the formatted version of the second object is formatted with the at least one formatting characteristic of the first object and is exported as an object separately accessible from the first object.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- examining an object descriptor containing metadata, the metadata associated with a first object;
- identifying at least one formatting characteristic of the first object using the metadata;
- applying the at least one formatting characteristic of the first object to a second object to alter the format of the second object without adding content to the second object, wherein applying the at least one formatting characteristic of the first object to the second object comprises accessing a profile of the first object, the profile defining one or more formatting characteristics of the first object, and formatting the second object according to the profile;
- and
- exporting the second object as formatted with the at least one formatting characteristic of the first object and accessible independently of the first object.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable medium with computer programming logic stored therein that when executed on a processor in a computerized device produces an object profiling process, the programming logic comprising:
- logic for examining an object descriptor containing metadata, the metadata associated with a first object;
- logic for identifying at least one formatting characteristic of the first object using the metadata;
- logic for applying the at least one formatting characteristic of the first object to a second object to alter the format of the second object without adding content to the second object, wherein applying the at least one formatting characteristic of the first object to the second object comprises accessing a profile of the first object, the profile defining one or more formatting characteristics of the first object, and formatting the second object according to the profile;
- and
- logic for exporting the second object, wherein the second object is formatted with the at least one formatting characteristic of the first object and is accessible independently from the first object.
