Method and apparatus for tagging information based on contextual criteria

摘要

An approach is provided for tagging information based on contextual criteria. A tagging platform determines at least one criteria for associating information acquired by a device with at least one tag. The tagging platform also processes and/or facilitates a processing of context information of the device, a user of the device, or a combination thereof to determine a state of the at least one criteria. The tagging platform further causes, at least in part, an association of the at least one tag with the information based, at least in part, on the state of the at least one criteria. Such an approach allows for configuring the tagging of information prior to or upon initially acquiring the information.

1. A method comprising:
determining, by an apparatus, at least one criteria for associating information being acquired by a mobile device with at least one tag, the at least one criteria includes a user-defined distance from a geographic point of the device, a geographic area hand drawn on the device, or a combination thereof; processing, by the apparatus, context information of the device, a user of the device, or a combination thereof to determine a state of the at least one criteria; causing, at least in part by the apparatus, an association of the at least one tag with the information based, at least in part, on that the state of the at least one criteria satisfies the user-defined distance, the geographic area, or a combination thereof; and causing, at least in part by the apparatus, a transmission of the at least one tag from the mobile device via a network to another mobile device.
