Abstract:
1. A system for using a camera enabled computing device for capturing media files, including video, audio and/or image data, comprising: a first camera enabled computing device component for synchronizing with metadata information and personal information about a user of the camera enabled computing device stored on at least one service computing device that hosts personal data services, wherein said metadata information is used for tagging a media file recorded by said camera enabled computing device, and wherein the personal information comprises at least one date corresponding to one of the following: an event in the user's life, an event in the life of a person in the user's family, and a holiday celebrated by the user; a second camera enabled computing device component for displaying the metadata information, suggesting a subset of metadata information which may be appropriate for the media file based on the at least one date of the personal information about said user, and receiving input from said user of the camera enabled computing device that associates a subset of the metadata information with the media file; a third camera enabled computing device component for uploading the media file and the associated subset of metadata information to said at least one computing device that hosts personal data services component; and a service computing device component for receiving the uploaded media file and, when the metadata information associated with the media file is identified as unknown, presenting a request for information related to the event whereby the information provided in response to the request is stored on said at least one service and used to generate additional metadata information for subsequent synchronization with the camera enabled computing device.
