Method and device for classifying internet objects and objects stored on computer-readable media

A method of classifying an object stored on computer-readable media as recited in claim 15, wherein said step of computing the video coefficient comprises the steps of:

• (a) Dividing the video data into image and audio data as required by the media type;
• (b) Evaluating the resultant image data using the method set out in claim 23 above (i.e. image coefficient method), and assigning an image coefficient for each frame of video data using the method set out in claim 23 above;
• (c) Evaluating the resultant audio data using the method set out in claim 24 above (i.e. audio coefficient method), and assigning an audio coefficient for the audio data using the method set out in claim 24 above;
• and
• (d) Calculating the video coefficient by adding a weighted sum of the image and audio coefficients, with weighting being determined automatically or can be set by the user.
