Abstract: A system and method for capturing and/or retrieving activity information in association with corresponding tasks and/or projects are disclosed. Activity information regarding an activity may be associated with a task ID identifying a task with which the activity is associated. Each of the task IDs may be associated with one or more corresponding projects, indicating the task identified by the task ID is associated with the project. This may facilitate users to obtain activity information and index the obtained activity information to corresponding task(s) and/or project(s). This may facilitate report generation that may acquire project information by obtaining activity information indexed to the project.

Abstract: A method for updating a digital project log comprises receiving via one of the plurality of receivers an observation, the observation comprising one of a plurality of observer identifiers, selecting a project log based on the combination of the observer identifier included with the observation and the receiver identifier associated with the receiver used to receive the observation, and storing information included in the observation in the selected project log.

Abstract: A communication system comprises a communication device configured to receive a data message, such as a text message, and to generate and send a voice reply to the data message using a simple transmit action. The data message comprises an identifier that can be used to determine a reply path related to the data message. Thus, when a user receives the data message, they can read the message initiate the simple transmit action, and reply to the data message by speaking an appropriate reply into the communication device. The spoken response is stored as a voice message and attached to a data message that is sent using the reply path identified by the identifier.

Abstract: A push-to-email system comprises a mobile communication device configured to generate a voice message and transmit the voice message to a message authority via, e.g., a single transmit action, such as a push-to-talk transmit action. The system can also comprise a message authority configured to receive the voice message, a time stamp associated with the voice message and location information related to the location of the mobile device when the message was sent. The message authority can then generate a data message intended for a recipient associated with the voice message, such as an email message and embed the voice message, time stamp and location information, or a link to the voice message, time stamp and location information. Alternatively, the mobile communication device can be configured to generate the data message.

Abstract: A system for originating, storing, processing and delivering data includes a transmission device, a server system, and a recipient connected by various networks. According to one method, the transmission device employing a simple transmit action transmits a message along with metadata to a receiver connected with the server system. Particular metadata are mapped to an address identifier associated with the receiver to determine a location for storing the message, as well as other parameters such as information relating to one or more intended recipients. An intended recipient is notified of an accessible message via e-mail, and can access a copy of the message via a web browser served a web page by the server system.

Abstract: A system and method of forming a project log for a project. A project includes a set of defined steps or states. An observation is made for each step or state of the project in a project management system. The observation is captured by a transmission device, which transmits data representing the observation. The data is received by a receive device. A computer receives the received data and converts the data into a digital file. One or more reference indicia, related to the received data by source identification, project identification, or other indication, is appended to the received data. The digital file is stored in a file storage, and the reference indicia are stored as tables in a database record in order to later access the digital file. By reference to at least one of the reference indicia, each digital file may be retrieved and accessed, for re-transmission or reproduction.
