Abstract

Systems and methods for managing and processing multimedia content. Chat content from a chat session among users on a network is accessed, including at least an item of video chat content associated with a phone number of a chat participant. Location information associated with the chat content is determined. Chat content location information is compared with predefined location information associated with projects or activities to identify a corresponding matching project or activity. A multimedia document comprising chat content associated with the matching project or activity is generated, wherein the item of video chat content is displayed in association with a play control and in association with an identifier of the chat participant. The item of video chat content in the multimedia document may be played in response to a user activation of the play control.

Abstract

Systems and methods for managing and processing building plan documents. An electronic building plan document including a plurality of plan sheets is received. A first plan sheet is provided for display. A user interface is provided via which a user can select or enter a first comment associated with the first plan sheet. A user interface is provided via which the user can associate metadata, including a project type or discipline, with the first comment. A first plurality of comments, including the first comment, is stored in association with respective metadata. A user interface via which the user can select, by category and/or subcategory a plurality of comments to be included in a plan correction list, and a correction list is generated including a plurality of comments specified by a plurality of users.

Abstract

A method for dynamic linking between graphic documents and comment databases is described and includes entering a base graphic representation of a project in a computer system. The base graphic representation may be the conversion of a user supplied format graphic to a web support format graphic. A coordinate overlay grid of a coordinate overlay program may be linked to the base graphic representation for overlay positioning and display on the base graphic representation. The coordinate overlay program may have a notation subprogram linked to the coordinate overlay grid for a user to designate notation with an identifier relative to a distinct location of the base graphic representation on the coordinate overlay grid. A text or graphic comment data record may be entered in a comment data record referenced to an identifier and displayed using a computer cursor device and display to activate an identifier.

Abstract

Systems and methods for managing and processing building plan documents. An electronic building plan document including a plurality of plan sheets is received. A first plan sheet is provided for display. A user interface is provided via which a user can select or enter a first comment associated with the first plan sheet. A user interface is provided via which the user can associate metadata, including a project type or discipline, with the first comment. A first plurality of comments, including the first comment, is stored in association with respective metadata. A user interface via which the user can select, by category and/or subcategory a plurality of comments to be included in a plan correction list, and a correction list is generated including a plurality of comments specified by a plurality of users.

Abstract

A method for dynamic linking between graphic documents and comment databases is described and includes entering a base graphic representation of a project in a computer system. The base graphic representation may be the conversion of a user supplied format graphic to a web support format graphic. A coordinate overlay grid of a coordinate overlay program may be linked to the base graphic representation for overlay positioning and display on the base graphic representation. The coordinate overlay program may have a notation subprogram linked to the coordinate overlay grid for a user to designate notation with an identifier relative to a distinct location of the base graphic representation on the coordinate overlay grid. A text or graphic comment data record may be entered in a comment data record referenced to an identifier and displayed using a computer cursor device and display to activate an identifier.

Abstract

Systems and methods for managing and processing multimedia content. Chat content from a chat session among users on a network is accessed, including at least an item of video chat content associated with a phone number of a chat participant. Location information associated with the chat content is determined. Chat content location information is compared with predefined location information associated with projects or activities to identify a corresponding matching project or activity. A multimedia document comprising chat content associated with the matching project or activity is generated, wherein the item of video chat content is displayed in association with a play control and in association with an identifier of the chat participant. The item of video chat content in the multimedia document may be played in response to a user activation of the play control.

Abstract

Systems and methods for managing and processing building plan documents including plan sheets. A toolbox of building project-related annotation tools comprising geometrical shapes and corresponding metadata indicating a criticality of a building project related defect is provided. An interface enables a selection of one or more video frames from a video file. A video frame editing area enables a user to drag and drop a shape over a portion of a frame displayed in the editing area to highlight a building defect. An interface enables the user to define a relationship between a video file and a building-related task. A user annotation, comprising a geometrical shape and corresponding metadata indicating a criticality of a building project related defect, of a video frame is received. An association of the video file with a first building project-related task is generated. A search interface enables the user to search for annotated video files associated with building projects.
