Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, an input image of an environment having a plurality of physical notes, each of the physical notes comprising a separate physical object having a predefined boundary and recognizable content thereon; processing, by the computing device, the input image to identify each of the plurality of physical notes in the input image; responsive to identifying each of the plurality of physical notes, and by the computing device: generating, by the computing device and within a database, a plurality of records representing a plurality of digital notes corresponding to the plurality of physical notes identified in the input image, wherein each of the records stores the respective one or more attributes associated with the corresponding one of the plurality of the physical notes and includes the respective extracted content from the note segment associated with the corresponding physical note; displaying, on a graphical user interface of the computing device, the input image overlaid with the plurality of digital notes in place of the identified plurality of physical notes; receiving, by the computing device, a user input selecting a subset of the digital notes overlaid on the physical notes of the input image to form a group of the digital notes representative of a collaboration session; displaying, by the computing device and separate from the digital notes displayed as overlaid on the physical notes of the input image, the selected subset of the plurality of digital notes, wherein each of the digital notes in the group of digital notes corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of digital notes overlaid on the plurality of physical notes of the input image; and responsive to input from the graphical user interface, updating the respective records of the database corresponding to the selected subset of the plurality of digital notes to store metadata assigning the subset of the digital notes to the group of digital notes.
