Patent ID: 8509477

Claim:
A system for capturing data in a first media and storing in a database at a location on a network, comprising: a capture device having: a first data converter interfacable with a first external information source that generates external information and the first data converter capturing the first external information during generation thereof, first data converter processing the captured first external information and storing it in a first media format as stored first captured information within the capture device, the first data converter initiating the storage of the first captured information as stored first captured information at an initial time and completing storage of the first captured information as stored first captured information at a completion time, thus providing a stored defined set of first captured information representing the first captured information between the initial time and the completion time, and a transmitter for transmitting as a transmitted defined set of first captured information the defined set of stored captured information to the location on the network after the completion time; a system disposed at the location on the network and including: a database, a receiver for receiving the transmitted defined set of first captured information from the transmitter associated with the capture device as a received defined set of first captured information, a system data converter for converting the received defined set of first captured 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, and the database storing the set of converted captured information.
