Abstract
This invention relates to an apparatus for capturing data a first capture device interfacing with a primary data source to capture data therefrom for storage into a primary data set. A second capture device is provided interfacing with a secondary data source to capture data therefrom for storage into a secondary data set. An associating device is then operable to associate the converted data set with the primary data set. A data converter converts the data stored in the second data set to a different and converted form as a converted data set.
Claims22
An apparatus for capturing data:
- a first capture device interfacing with a primary data source to capture data therefrom for storage into a primary data set;
- a second capture device interfacing with a secondary data source to capture data therefrom for storage into a secondary data set;
- a data converter for converting the data stored in the secondary data set to a different and inverted converted form as a converted data set, which converted data set is searchable with a searchable algorithm compatible with such converted data set;
- an associating device for associating the converted data set with the primary data set to
- provide a searchable composite data set with the converted data set closely associated with the primary data set in the searchable composite data set;
- and
- a transmitter for transmitting the searchable composite data set to a remote storage facility over a wireless communication path.
A portable apparatus for capturing media information, comprising:
- a camera for capturing media information for storage into a primary data set at a time of capture when it was fixed as a captured image in the camera;
- a capture device interfacing with a data source to capture data from a media source having associated therewith information different than the media information captured by the camera for storage into a secondary data set;
- a data converter for converting the data stored in the secondary data set to a different and converted form as a converted data set, which converted data set is searchable with a searchable algorithm compatible with such converted data set;
- and
- an associating device for associating the converted data set with the primary data set to provide a searchable composite data set with the converted data set closely associated with the primary data set in the searchable composite data set, the associating device also associating the time of capture with at least the primary data set in close association therewith such that the time of capture can be differentiated from the time that the second capture device captures data;
- and
- a transmitter for transmitting the searchable composite data set to a remote storage facility over a wireless communication path.
