Abstract: A system and method are presented to allow audio communication between users concerning an image. The originator of the communication uses a mobile device app to select an image and record an audio commentary. The image and commentary are encoded together into a video file. The app uses a server to analyze the recipient address to determine the preferred mode of delivery. If the recipient is a known user of the app, the file is delivered through a proprietary communication system and viewed by the recipient using the app. Otherwise, the originator's app delivers the file through MMS or e-mail for the recipient to view using a standard video player. E-mail and MMS communications include a link for the recipient to download the app. The recipient can download the app and register as a user, which causes a server to download previously delivered files to the new user's app.

Abstract: A system and method are presented to allow audio communication between users concerning an image. The originator of the communication uses a mobile device app to select an image and record an audio commentary. The image, audio commentary, and metadata are submitted to a cloud server for storage. The app uses the server to analyze a recipient address to determine the preferred mode of delivery. If the recipient is a known user of the app, the file is delivered without combining the image, audio commentary, and metadata into a standard movie file. Otherwise, the originator's app delivers the file through MMS or e-mail for the recipient as a movie file for viewing using a standard video player.

Abstract: A computerized system and method are presented that provide access to three data collections that can form the foundations of a spiritual journey, namely a research archive for researching fundamental texts of a variety of spiritual and religious domains, a personal reflection data collection for reflecting upon a personal life journey, and a community conversation data collection that provides users with an opportunity to explore the research archive and their personal reflections in a social community setting. The research archive is oriented around ideas having snippets from the fundamental texts. The various elements in the data collections are associated with life issue tags and religious or spiritual domains. By analyzing a user's selected domain or the domain of displayed content, and by analyzing the life issue tag associated with displayed content, the system and method can suggest related content from elsewhere in the data collections.

Abstract: A computerized system and method are presented that utilize the assistance of subject matter experts to create a research archive for researching fundamental texts of a variety of spiritual and religious domains. Using a subject matter expert interface that provides tools not available to users of the archive database, the subject matter experts identify ideas having snippets from the fundamental texts. Each idea is associated with a single life issue tag and a religious or spiritual domain. Through the subject matter expert tools, subject matter experts are requested to provide commentaries that comment on the snippet from the point of view of the religious domain and its relationship to the associated life issue tag. The commentaries are each written with respect to a particular role.

Abstract: A computerized system and method are presented that creates implicit content on a mobile device by monitoring and recording input from sensors on the device. Metadata from the implicit content and from user-created content is then analyzed the purpose of event identification. Using the metadata and event identification, the content is created into clusters, which can be confirmed by the user as actual events. Events can then be grouped according to metadata and event information into a presentation grouping.

Events can then be grouped according to metadata and event information into a presentation grouping. Users can also be associated with organizations, allowing the sharing of content and event definitions between the organization and its member users. Users can create ad hoc organizations with a particular subset of other users, which simplifies the creation of event meta data and content sharing with other users in the ad hoc organization.

Abstract: A computerized system and method are presented that provide access to a research archive for researching fundamental texts of a variety of spiritual and religious domains. The research archive is oriented around ideas having snippets from the fundamental texts. Each idea is associated with a single life issue tag and a religious or spiritual domain. Each idea is further associated with a fixed number of commentaries that comment on the snippet from the point of view of the religious domain and its relationship to the associated life issue tag. The fixed number of commentaries are each written with respect to a particular role.

Abstract: A computerized system and method are presented that creates implicit content on a mobile device by monitoring and recording input from sensors on the device. Using the metadata and event identification, the content is created into clusters, which can be confirmed by the user as actual events. Events can then be grouped according to metadata and event information into a presentation grouping. Presentation groupings can be presented using a map and timeline interface, and can be augmented using content from external sources, other users, or viewers of the content. Themes can be created for presentation groupings that format the presentation groupings according to stored formatting appropriate to the theme. Themes can suggest theme events to which users can assign places and times. Information about future theme events can then be used to trigger a request for content or to trigger the creation of implicit content.

Metadata from the implicit content and from user-created content is then analyzed the purpose of event identification. Using the metadata and event identification, the content is created into clusters, which can be confirmed by the user as actual events. Events can then be grouped according to metadata and event information into a presentation grouping. Presentation groupings can be presenting using a map and timeline interface. The system augments content concerning an event by searching for related content. Users viewing the presentation grouping can add additional user content. The system can also add content from users that attended the same event.
