Apparatus for personal voice assistant, location services, multi-media capture, transmission, speech to text conversion, photo/video image/object recognition, creation of searchable metatag(s)/ contextual tag(s), storage and search retrieval
This invention relates to a network interface device. A first capture device interfaces with a first external information source to capture first external information. A processor processes the captured first external information and stores it in a first media. The processor initiates the storage of the first captured information at an initial time and completes storage of the first captured information at a completion time, thus providing a stored defined set of first captured information. A transmitter transmits the defined set of stored captured information to a remote location on a network. A remote processing system is disposed at the remote node on the network and includes a database and a receiver for receiving the transmitted defined set of first captured information. A data converter is operable to convert the received defined set of first captured information to a second format. The database stores the set of converted captured information.
1. A system for capturing image and audio information for storage in a database at a location on a network, comprising:
a microphone interfacable with an external audio information source that generates external audio information and a first data converter for capturing the first external audio information from the microphone,
a camera interfacing with an external image source to capture an image therefrom;
the first data converter processing the captured external audio information and storing it in a first digital audio format as stored digital audio within the capture device, the camera for processing the captured image and storing it as a stored digital image;
a transmitter for transmitting the stored digital audio and stored digital image to the location on the network; and
a system disposed at the location on the network and including:
a receiver for receiving the transmitted digital audio and digital image from the transmitter as a received set of captured information,
a system data converter for converting the received digital audio to a text based searchable file as a text context tag and creating an image recognition searchable context tag with image recognition of at least a portion of the digital image and associating the text and image recognition context tags with the digital image, and
the database storing the digital image in association with the text and image recognition context tags.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first data converter captures the first external audio information from the microphone during generation thereof.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the camera captures the image from the external image source at an instant in time.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first data converter processes the captured external audio information from a start event representing the time that capture of the external audio information is initiated to a stop event representing the time that capture of the external audio information is complete.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the transmitter transmits the stored digital audio information and the stored digital image to the location on the network after at least the stop event associated with the processing of the captured external audio information.
6. A system for capturing image and audio information for storage, comprising:
a capture device having:
internal storage;

a camera interfacing with and external image source to capture an image therefrom;
the first data converter processing the captured external audio information and storing it in a first digital audio format as stored digital audio in internal storage within the capture device, the camera for processing the captured image and storing it as a stored digital image in internal storage and a combiner for generating an association between the stored digital audio and the stored digital image,
a media data converter for converting the received set of captured information to convert the received digital audio to a text based searchable file as a text context tag and creating an image recognition searchable context tag with image recognition of at least a portion of the digital image and associating the text and image recognition context tags with the digital image, and
the internal storage storing the digital image in association with the text and image recognition context tags.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first data converter captures the first external audio information from the microphone during generation thereof.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the camera captures the image from the external image source at an instant in time.
9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first data converter processes the captured external audio information from a start event representing the time that capture of the external audio information is initiated to a stop event representing the time that capture of the external audio information is complete.
10. The system of claim 6 , and further including:
a transmitter associated with the capture device for transmitting the associated stored digital image in association with the text and image recognition context tags to the location on the network;
a system disposed at the location on a network and including:
a receiver for receiving the transmitted associated stored digital image in association with the text and image recognition context tags from the transmitter associated with the capture device as a received set of captured information,
a database, and
the database storing the received associated stored digital image in association with the text and image recognition context tags.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first data converter processes the captured external audio information from a start event representing the time that capture of the external audio information is initiated to a stop event representing the time that capture of the external audio information is complete.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the transmitter transmits the associated stored digital image in association with the text and image recognition context tags to the location on the network after at least the stop event associated with the processing of the captured external audio information.
13. A system for capturing image and audio information for storage, comprising:
internal storage;
