Method and Apparatus for Aggregating Document Information
An apparatus, comprising a processor, memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: receiving information from a first external apparatus indicating that the first external apparatus received a document associated with a uniform resource locator, evaluating the received information and the historic document information, aggregating at least part of the received information to the historic document information based at least in part on the evaluation, and providing at least part of the aggregated historic document information to a second external apparatus is disclosed.
1 . An apparatus, comprising:
a processor;
memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
receiving information from a first external apparatus indicating that the first external apparatus received a document associated with a uniform resource locator;
evaluating the received information and the historic document information;
aggregating at least part of the received information to the historic document information based at least in part on the evaluation; and
providing at least part of the aggregated historic document information to a second external apparatus.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to further perform at least retrieving supplemental information associated with the received information and aggregate at least part of the supplemental information to the historic document information.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the evaluation comprises comparing at least part of the received information with, at least part of, the historic document information.
4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the evaluation relates to category information associated with document information.
5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the category information relates to a map.
6 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the category information relates to chronology.
7 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein evaluation comprises determining that at least part of the received information and at least part of the historic document information have similar category information.
8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the historic document information comprises chronological information associated with document information and the evaluation is based, at least in part, on the chronological information.
9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein aggregation comprises merging at least part of the received information with at least part of the historic document information.
10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein evaluation comprises determining that at least part of the received information is related to at least part of the historic document information.
11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein determining that at least part of the received information is related to at least part of the historic document information comprises determining that the received information and the part of the historic document information relate to a common source.
12 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein determining that at least part of the received information is related to at least part of the historic document information comprises determining that the received information and the part of the historic document information relate to similar subject matter.
13 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein aggregation comprises adding, at least part of the received information to the historic document information.
14 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to further perform at least generating an apparatus specific historic document information, wherein the at least part of the historic document information provided to the second external apparatus is the apparatus specific historic document information.
15 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein generating the apparatus specific historic document information is based, at least in part, on capability of the second external apparatus.
16 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to further perform at least identifying an account associated with the first external apparatus, wherein the providing at least part of the aggregated historic document information to the second external apparatus is performed in response to determining that the account is associated with the second external apparatus.
17 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the received information is encrypted.
18 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to further perform at least encrypting the aggregated historic document information.
19 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the aggregated historic document information comprises information associated with the first external apparatus.
20 . A method comprising:
receiving information from a first external apparatus indicating that the first external apparatus received a document associated with a uniform resource locator;
evaluating, using a processor, the received information and the historic document information;
aggregating at least part of the received information to the historic document information based at least in part on the evaluation; and
providing at least part of the aggregated historic document information to a second external apparatus.
21 . A computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform:
receiving information from a first external apparatus indicating that the first external apparatus received a document associated with a uniform resource locator;
evaluating the received information and the historic document information;
aggregating at least part of the received information to the historic document information based at least in part on the evaluation; and
providing at least part of the aggregated historic document information to a second external apparatus.
