Method for multi-media capture, transmission, conversion, metatags creation, storage and search retrieval

摘要

This invention relates to a network interface device having a first capture device interfacing with a first external information source to capture first external information. The captured information is processed and stored in a first media, which storage is initiated at an initial time and completed at a completion time, thus providing a stored defined set of first captured information. A transmitter transmits the captured information to a remote location on a network after the completion time. A remote processing system is disposed at the remote node on the network and includes a database and a receiver for receiving the transmitted information from the transmitter as a received defined set of first captured information. A data converter converts the received information to a second format as a set of converted first captured information, the second format different than the first media format, the second format being a searchable format.
