- the present invention generally relates to a system and a method for creating metadata. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and a method for creating metadata for media files that uses an event database to provide metadata keywords for organizing, indexing and/or searching the media files.
- the event database uses a location where the media file was created and/or a date and/or a time that the media file was created to determine a specific event that corresponds to the media file. A specific event title may become part of the metadata to indicate the specific event that corresponds to the media file. Based on the specific event, the event database provides the metadata keywords.
- the media files may be indexed, may be consumed, may be accessed and/or may be viewed by one or more users via terminals over a network.
- one or more users may obtain and/or may access the media files over the network via a search that may use matching keywords.
- An event page may be provided that accumulates media files identified by the event database as corresponding to a specific event.
- Digital media capture devices may capture, may store and/or may send digital media.
- Digital media capture devices traditionally record basic metadata, such as, for example, a time and/or a date.
- a user may download, may display, may access, may obtain and/or may view the digital media from a database via a terminal over a network.
- Applications on the digital media capture devices generally allow transfer of the digital media across the network, such as, for example, using Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) or Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) .

SPECIFICATION
Title "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING METADATA"
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. : 61/007,408 filed December 12, 2007.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a system and a method for creating metadata. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and a method for creating metadata for media files that uses an event database to provide metadata keywords for organizing, indexing and/or searching the media files. The event database uses a location where the media file was created and/or a date and/or a time that the media file was created to determine a specific event that corresponds to the media file. A specific event title may become part of the metadata to indicate the specific event that corresponds to the media file. Based on the specific event, the event database provides the metadata keywords. The media files may be indexed, may be consumed, may be accessed and/or may be viewed by one or more users via terminals over a network. Based on the metadata created by the database of events and/or associated with the media files, one or more users may obtain and/or may access the media files over the network via a search that may use matching keywords. An event page may be provided that accumulates media files identified by the event database as corresponding to a specific event.
Generally known devices may capture, may store and/or may send digital media. Digital media capture devices traditionally record basic metadata, such as, for example, a time and/or a date. A user may download, may display, may access, may obtain and/or may view the digital media from a database via a terminal over a network. Applications on the digital media capture devices generally allow transfer of the digital media across the
network, such as, for example, using Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) or Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) .
The addition of Global Positioning System (hereinafter "GPS") support to many mobile devices opens up a whole new frontier for mobile application development, such as, for example, the application of location information to the digital media created by the digital media capture devices. One such example i s ZoneTag by Yahoo , Inc . (http://zonetag.research.yahoo.com) which associates location information with digital media and uploads the digital media to a social network site.
The social network site is a website or application that has content created primarily by users of the social network site and shared with other users of the social network site. Media content is described and/or classified by the users. Often, the media content is in the form of user-created keywords that are entered by the originating user and/or the other users. Typically, the other users may execute an application to locate, to identify and/or to search the digital media in the database. A searchable index of the media files may be used by the application to locate the media content accessible via the social network site. Metadata associated with the media files provides keywords that may indicate that the media files are associated with a search term. Popular social networks with an emphasis on digital media include MySpace (registered trademark of MySpace, Inc.), Flickr (registered trademark of Yahoo, Inc.), and YouTube (trademark of YouTube, Inc.).
Tagging is the association of the keywords with the media files. Tagging may include a strength of association between the keywords and the media files. Tagging may be a mechanism for classifying the media files so that the media files may be organized and/or may be searched. Tagging is the primary basis of organization for most popular media-centric social networks.
As a result of tagging, the users of social network sites may search the media files using the keywords relating to the media content accessible by the social network site. However, the users who generate the digital media files must also generate the associated keywords. Thus, the keywords associated with, corresponding to and/or assigned to the multimedia file may be inaccurate, unreliable and/or incorrect based on the attributes of the multimedia file. Further, if the user generates the keywords when the digital media file is created, exerting effort and/or use of time to generate the keywords may affect, may alter and/or may detract from the experience of the event captured by the digital media file. Still further, the user may be incapable of generating the keywords when the digital media file is created; therefore, the digital media file lacks keywords and is not provided for the searchable index.
A need, therefore, exists for a system and a method for creating metadata for media files. Further, a need exists for a system and a method for creating metadata for media files that use an event database to provide metadata keywords. Still further, a need exists for a system and a method for creating metadata for media files that use an event database to index media files, media content and/or multimedia. Still further, a need exists for a system and a method for creating metadata for media files that associate media files with specific event titles. And, a need exists for a system and a method for creating metadata for media files that maintains consistency in metadata keywords. And, a need exists for a system and a method for creating metadata for media files that creates metadata without user interaction. Moreover, a need exists for a system and a method for creating metadata for media files that may generate a web page for an event that accumulates the media files related to that event.

As a result, the system 10 may store, may index, may transmit and/or may organize the digital media files based on the specific event title and/or the content tags.
The specific event title and/or the content tags may be created and/or associated with the digital media file at the media capturing device 30. Subsequently, the digital media file and/or the metadata may be transmitted using the first network 18 and/or the second network 40. Alternatively, the digital media file may be transferred to the second server 31 and/or the first network 18 to obtain the metadata generated by use of the database 20. The association of the specific event title and/or the content tags with the digital media file may occur when the digital media file is created, or at a later time, when a connection with the second server 31 is established.
The first terminal 14 and/or the second terminal 22 may create and/or may store a content list as shown at step 106 of FIG. 2. The content list may have and/or may be based on the specific event title and/or the content tags of the metadata. A search of the content list may be performed using search terms
as shown at step 107. Matching digital media files may have the specific event title and/or the content tags that match the search terms as shown at step 108. The matching digital media files may be accessed by, may be provided to, may be transferred to, may be downloaded to and/or may be transmitted to the first terminal 14, the second terminal 22 and/or the first network 18. The first terminal 14 and/or the second terminal 22 may display the digital media files for which the specific event title and/or the content tags match the search terms. Users may use the first terminal 14 and/or the second terminal 22 to search the content list to identify, to access, to download and/or to consume the digital media files. For example, using the specific event title and/or the second content tags of the metadata, the users may acguire, may obtain and/or may create a list of digital photos captured at a specific event or venue, a list of songs by an artist, a list of episodes of a television program, games played by a specific sports team and/or movies made by an actor. The digital media file may be stored remotely relative to the first terminal 14 and/or the second terminal 22. The users may be required to have the right to consume the multimedia prior to accessing and/or to displaying the digital media file. The users may be required to subscribe and/or to maintain a subscription with the provider 16 prior to accessing and/or to displaying the digital media file. The second terminal 22 may share, may transfer and/or may transmit the digital media file and/or the first tags of the metadata via the second network 40. The database 20 may be accessed by the second terminal 22 via the first network 18. Thus, the second terminal may obtain the digital media file via the second network 40 and subsequently associate the specific event title and/or the content tags with the digital media file.
The provider 16 connected to the first network 18 may be a content provider that may provide a social community website.
The social community website is a web site and/or application that has content created primarily by users of the social community website. The content of the social community website may be shared with other users of the social community website. The social community website may provide forums for communication between the users. These services may include message boards, email lists, chat rooms, personal home pages and/or web logs. The users of the social community website may each have their own homepage that provides various digital media files. The first terminal 14 and/or the second terminal 22 may access the social community website from the provider 16 via the first network 18. The second terminal 22 may access the social community website from the provider 16 via the first network 18 and may access the media capturing device 30 via the second network 40 to upload the digital media file obtained from the media capturing device 30 to the social community website.
The users of the social community website may execute an application of the first terminal 14 and/or the second terminal 22 to locate, to identify and/or to search the digital media files of the social community website of provider 16. A searchable index of the media files may be used to locate the digital media files. The searchable index may be based on the specific event title and/or the content tags of the metadata. Based on the specific event title and/or the content tags of the metadata, the provider 16 may develop a specialized list of multimedia that may be related to a common interest of the users of the social community website. For example, the provider 16 may store a list of concert performances by a common musician. The list of concert performances may be identified from the specific event title and/or the content tags of the metadata of the digital media files. The provider 16 may transmit a communication to the users indicating that a new digital media file has been uploaded. A user that has designated matching
keywords to the specific event title and/or the content tags of the new digital media file may receive a message indicating the availability of the new digital media file. The users may receive a periodic update of the the content list identifying the digital media files that have the specific event and/or the content tags matching the search terms of the users.
The specific event title may prevent search problems that arise from user-generated tags. For example, the user-generated tags may not have a name of the venue. A search using the name of the venue will not provide multimedia that have the user- generated tags that do not have the name of the venue. The specific event title and/or the content tags provided by the database 20 may prevent this problem by associating the digital media files for a specific event with a consistent title and/or by providing consistent content tags that have the relevant keywords .
The provider 16 may generate a webpage corresponding to one or more of the specific events. The webpage may accumulate digital media files related to the specific event. The digital media files related to the specific event may be provided on the webpage. The provider 16 may notify the users of the social community website about event-specific webpage updates if the users of the social community website have indicated interest in the specific event. Thus, a gallery of all of the digital media files related to the specific event may be displayed in one location of the social community website. The digital media files related to the specific event may be accessed from the webpage via hyperlinks to other websites of the social community website, for example. The digital media files corresponding to the specific event of the webpage may be provided on the webpage based on matching of the specific event and/or the content tags of the digital media files to the specific event of the webpage.
For example, the provider 16 of the social community website may generate a webpage corresponding to a specific concert performance. Based on the specific event titles of the digital media files stored at the social community website, the digital media files corresponding to the specific concert performance may be provided on the webpage corresponding to the specific concert performance. The users of the social community website who have indicated interest in a musician may be notified of the webpage and/or new digital media files on the webpage. It should be understood that various changes and modifications to the presently preferred embodiments described herein will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and without diminishing its attendant advantages. It is, therefore, intended that such changes and modifications be covered by the appended claims.
