Abstract: The patent describes a network interface device comprising a first capture device for capturing external information, a processor for storing it in a first media format, and a transmitter for sending it to a remote network location. At the remote location, a system with a database and receiver converts the information to a second, searchable format before storing it.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

• Claim 1: This claim describes a system that captures both image and audio information. It involves a microphone and a camera, which capture external audio and images respectively. This captured data, along with location and time information, is combined into a "composite data set" and encrypted. This encrypted data is then transmitted to a remote network location. At the remote location, the data is decrypted, and a data converter processes the received digital audio into a text-based searchable file (a text context tag) and creates an image recognition searchable context tag from the digital image. Both of these tags are associated with the digital image and stored in a database along with the captured data.

• Claim 6: This claim focuses on a capture device with internal storage. It details the capture of external audio information via a microphone and images via a camera, with both being stored digitally in the internal storage. Additionally, location and time information associated with the image capture is stored as "captured data." A media data converter then processes the digital audio into a text-based searchable file (a text context tag) and generates an image recognition searchable context tag from the digital image. These text and image recognition context tags are associated with the digital image and the stored captured data, and then stored in the internal storage. This claim also includes an optional transmitter for sending the composite data set to a remote network location for storage.

• Claim 13: This claim describes a system with internal storage for capturing image and audio information. It includes a microphone and a first data converter for external audio, a camera for images, and a data capture device for location and time information. The captured audio is processed into a digital audio format, and the image is stored as a digital image. A second data converter converts the digital audio into a text-based searchable file (a text context tag) and creates an image recognition searchable context tag from the digital image. These context tags are associated with the digital image and the stored captured data, and then stored in the internal storage.
