  • Patent number: 9489380
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for management of unconsciously captured documents are described. Various documents generated by networked devices are unconsciously captured and stored according to a non-semantic organization. The unconsciously captured documents are archived for possible search and retrieval at a later time. When an event occurs (e.g., lawsuit, audit, change in ownership) that results in a desire for a particular subset of the unconsciously captured documents, the documents are searched for a relevant subset. The subset of documents identified by the search are copied and stored according to a second organization (e.g., subject matter, particular audit). In one embodiment, subsequent unconsciously captured documents are stored according to the first organization. If the subsequent documents satisfy the criteria for the subset of documents, the subsequent documents are copied and stored according to the second organization.
