Abstract
A configurable software system for automatically storing and indexing computer files. Information about the usage characteristics of a computer file are compared against a second set of data, for example, a schedule of events with dates, times, etc. If this comparison results in a match, data from the second set are associated with the computer file. Data resulting from such associations are stored and searchable.
Claims22
A method for use in a computer system executing a first software program that processes a file, the computer system further comprising a data set that comprises data that is independent of the file, the method comprising acts of:
- (A) comparing at least one usage characteristic of the file to the data set;
- and
- (B) when the at least one usage characteristic of the file matches at least one characteristic of the data set, associating data from the data set with the file, wherein the at least one usage characteristic comprises at least a current date when the first software program is processing the file.
A method comprising acts of:
- (A) using a computer to create, modify, delete or access a file;
- (B) comparing at least one characteristic of the file against a schedule comprising events with dates, times and activities;
- (C) associating a searchable label with the file when the at least one characteristic of the file matches at least one characteristic of the schedule;
- and
- (D) retrieving the file using the label.
A method comprising acts of:
- (A) interfacing with a schedule planning program to import a schedule of events with dates, times, activities, and related data;
- (B) using a computer to create, modify, delete or access a file;
- (C) comparing at least one characteristic of the file against the schedule;
- (D) associating a searchable label with the file when the at least one characteristic of the file matches at least one characteristic of the schedule;
- and
- (E) retrieving the file using the label.
At least one computer readable medium encoded with program for use in a computer system executing a first software program that processes a file, the computer system further comprising a data set that comprises data that is independent of the file, the program, when executed by the computer system, performing a method comprising acts of:
- (A) comparing at least one usage characteristic of the file to the data set;
- and
- (B) when the at least one usage characteristic of the file matches at least one characteristic of the data set, associating data from the data set with the file, wherein the at least one usage characteristic comprises at least a current date when the first software program is processing the file.
At least one computer readable medium encoded with a program for execution on a computer system, the program, when executed by the computer system, performing a method comprising acts of:
- (A) using a computer to create, modify, delete or access a file;
- (B) comparing at least one characteristic of the file against a schedule comprising events with dates, times and activities;
- (C) associating a searchable label with the file when the at least one characteristic of the file matches at least one characteristic of the schedule;
- and
- (D) retrieving the file using the label.
At least one computer readable medium encoded with a program for execution on a computer system, the program, when executed by the computer system, performing a method comprising acts of:

- (B) using a computer to create, modify, delete or access a file;
- (C) comparing at least one characteristic of the file against the schedule;
- (D) associating a searchable label with the file when the at least one characteristic of the file matches at least one characteristic of the schedule;
- and
- (E) retrieving the file using the label.
