Method and apparatus for automatically tagging content
View Patent ↗A content tagging and management capability is provided for enabling automatic tagging of content and management of tagged content. A method includes receiving content including an object, and automatically associating an information structure with the object included within the content to form thereby tagged content. The content may be received locally at a content capture device, and the information structure may be automatically associated with the object by the content capture device. The automatic tagging may be performed at the content capture device when the content is captured by the content capture device. The content may be received at a computer, and the information structure may be automatically associated with the object by the computer. The information structure may be available locally or retrieved from one or more remote devices.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the processor configured to:
receive a content item comprising content and having a tag associated therewith;
initiate display of the content item via a display interface, wherein display of the content item comprises display of the tag associated with the content item; and
based on a determination that the tag is selected via the display interface, perform a process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item;
wherein the tag has an information structure associated therewith, wherein the information structure comprises information indicative of a content source associated with the at least a portion of the content of the content item.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, to perform the process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item, the processor is configured to:
identify the content source based on the tag;
send, toward the content source, a request for content from the content source;
receive the content from the content source; and
perform at least one of storing or displaying the content received from the content source.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, to perform the process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item, the processor is configured to:
Identify the content source based on the tag;
send, toward the content source, a request for content from the content source;
receive the content from the content source; and
validate at least a portion of the content of the content item via comparison of the at least a portion of the content of the content item with at least a portion of the content received from the content source.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, to perform the process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item, the processor is configured to:
identify the content source based on the tag;
send, toward the content source, a portion of the content of the content item; and
receive, from the content source, an indication as to whether the portion of the content of the content item was validated by the content source.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the content item comprises at least one of text-based content, audio content, or image-based content.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the content item comprises at least one of an application, a resume, a certificate, or a title.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, within the content item, the tag is associated with the at least a portion of the content of the content item to be validated based on the tag.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, to perform the process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item, the processor is configured to:
propagate, toward at least one authorized agency, the at least a portion of the content of the content item to be validated.
9. A method, comprising:
using a processor and a memory for:
receiving a content item comprising content and having a tag associated therewith;
initiating display of the content item via a display interface, wherein display of the content item comprises display of the tag associated with the content item; and
based on a determination that the tag is selected via the display interface, performing a process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item;
wherein the tag has an information structure associated therewith, wherein the information structure comprises information indicative of a content source associated with the at least a portion of the content of the content item.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein performing the process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item comprises:
identifying the content source based on the tag;
sending, toward the content source, a request for content from the content source;
receiving the content from the content source; and
performing at least one of storing or displaying the content received from the content source.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein performing the process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item comprises:
identifying the content source based on the tag;
sending, toward the content source, a request for content from the content source;
receiving the content from the content source; and
validating at least a portion of the content of the content item via comparison of the at least a portion of the content of the content item with at least a portion of the content received from the content source.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein performing the process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item comprises:
identifying the content source based on the tag;
sending, toward the content source, a portion of the content of the content item; and
receiving, from the content source, an indication as to whether the portion of the content of the content item was validated by the content source.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the content item comprises at least one of text-based content, audio content, or image-based content.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the content item comprises at least one of an application, a resume, a certificate, or a title.
15. The method of claim 9 , wherein, within the content item, the tag is associated with the at least a portion of the content of the content item to be validated based on the tag.
16. The method of claim 9 , wherein performing the process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item comprises:
propagating, toward at least one authorized agency, the at least a portion of the content of the content item to be validated.
17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving a content item comprising content and having a tag associated therewith;
initiating display of the content item via a display interface, wherein display of the content item comprises display of the tag associated with the content item; and
based on a determination that the tag is selected via the display interface, performing a process for validating at least a portion of the content of the content item based on the tag associated with the content item;
wherein the tag has an information structure associated therewith, wherein the information structure comprises information indicative of a content source associated with the at least a portion of the content of the content item.
