Abstract

Automatic annotation of data recorded by a device. A portion of an event may be recorded as an image, movie, sound byte, audio recording, etc., and contemporaneous to the recording, a time value (which may encode a calendar date) is determined. The time value is looked up on a calendar, and a description of the event is read from the calendar and used to automatically annotate the recording.
