METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USER-BASED TAGGING OF MEDIA CONTENT

摘要

A system (100) and method (400) for creating collaborative tags is provided. During the presentation of content, a tagging device (101) receives user input (305) corresponding to the content. The tagging device (101) associates the user input (305) with metadata (306) identifying the content. The content itself is not attached to the tag (300). A distribution filter (307) can be attached to the tag (300), as can a content level classification (308). The tag (300) is then transmitted to a server (107) for distribution in accordance with the distribution filter (307). A subsequent user can request the tags for presentation with later content.
