Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods for handling media assets in a networked environment. Media assets located in a data store are searched and through use of a level of relatedness algorithm, a subset of media assets are returned to a user's device. The subset of media assets are displayed in a tiered arrangement to a user.
Claims13
A method for operation upon a device having a processor, comprising:
- receiving search input from a user for searching a plurality of media digital assets stored in a data store;
- wherein metadata is associated with the media digital assets;
- using the metadata associated with the media digital assets to determine an asset's relevance with respect to the received search input;
- ranking the media digital assets based upon the determined assets' relevance;
- retrieving media digital assets from the data store based upon the ranking of the media digital assets;
- automatically displaying the retrieved media digital assets on a display device.
The method of claim 11, wherein an auction is used to determine which search key words are to be associated with the advertiser.
A system for operation upon a device having a processor, comprising:
- software instructions to receive search input from a user for searching a plurality of media digital assets stored in a data store;
- wherein metadata is associated with the media digital assets;
- wherein the metadata associated with the media digital assets is used to determine an asset's relevance with respect to the received search input;
- software instructions to rank the media digital assets based upon the determined assets' relevance;
- software instructions to retrieve media digital assets from the data store based upon the ranking of the media digital assets;
- wherein the retrieved media digital assets are automatically displayed on a display device.
Computer software stored on one or more computer readable mediums, the computer software comprising program code for carrying out a method comprising the steps of:
- receiving search input from a user for searching a plurality of media digital assets stored in a data store;
- wherein metadata is associated with the media digital assets;
- using the metadata associated with the media digital assets to determine an asset's relevance with respect to the received search input;
- ranking the media digital assets based upon the determined assets' relevance;
- retrieving media digital assets from the data store based upon the ranking of the media digital assets;
- automatically displaying the retrieved media digital assets on a display device.
