Abstract

    In this paper, we propose an e±cient life log
platform to record and retrieve personal media ex-
periences. An integration of desktop experiences
from MyLifeBits and real life experiences from our
life log system is operated in a personal computer.
MyLifeBits project is one of the successful researches
and we also have been developing a life log system.
MyLifeBits provides an excellent database frame-
work, but it seems mainly concerned about desk-
top activities using personal computers. Although
SenseCam, a wearable camera which is one of the
MyLifeBits project components, it can capture only
still images being triggered by environmental change
to represent personal discrete experiences. In order to
achieve an idealistic Memex vision, we have been de-
veloping a life log system aiming at capture and anal-
ysis of continuous video using wearable computers in
conjunction with various wearable sensors. In this
paper, we present our life log platform for recording
and retrieval of personal media in real life experiences
by the life log system, SenseCam and MyLifeBits. We
summarize our life log functionalities, an integration
function with SenseCam for discrete experiences and
MyLifeBits for an e±cient database system.
