Claim Text:
1. A computer implemented method comprising: receiving a question associated with a user ID; extracting context from the question; identifying subject matter criteria from the context of the question, wherein the subject matter criteria includes information that indicates categories of objects relevant to the question and a determined likelihood that proximity information is relevant to the question; comparing the determined likelihood to a threshold; in response to determining that the determined likelihood exceeds the threshold, accessing a history database associated with the user ID which contains history data obtained over a period of time using a wearable device worn by a user and that has video recording capabilities and audio recording capabilities, the history data including multimedia data that contains positional data for a plurality of physical objects, wherein the positional data indicates the respective physical distance between the plurality of physical objects and the wearable device when the multimedia data was collected; identifying one or more physical objects from the plurality of physical objects that are relevant to the question based upon the subject matter criteria and the history data; generating a set of answers for the question from a corpus of data, each answer in the set of answers associated with a respective one of the one or more relevant physical objects; ranking the set of answers based upon the respective physical distance, at the time the multimedia data was collected, between the wearable device and the respective physical object associated with each answer in the set of answers, respective total amount of time each respective physical object was proximal to the wearable device, and respective frequency each respective physical object was proximal to the wearable device; displaying the ranked set of answers such that answers associated with a respective physical object having the smallest physical distance, at the time the multimedia data was collected, between the wearable device and the respective physical object are displayed first.
