The present invention is a method of representing video data in a non-linear paradigm. Video data are categorized into semantic content comprising multi-layer structure each denotes semantic reference, such as different cinematic entities. The semantic content is organized in a hierarchical structure where the top layer denotes global information while the lowest layer represents primitive information. The cinematic entities in the top layer are hyper-linked to the entities in the second layer. The entities in the second layer are hyper-linked to the third layer and so forth. Each cinematic entity in the lowest layer is designated to a part of the video content and hyper-linked to the corresponding video data. The semantic content comprises hyper-linked video data in an N-to-N relationship. N-to-N relationship means the data are hyper-video and the video data supports multiple access and multiple presentation. An apparatus for presenting categorized semantic content is also disclosed.
A video file data representation method for representing video file data to be represented, said video file data to be represented carrying tags having fields allocated thereto at least one semantic reference and being constructed so that video file data carrying tags having the specified semantic reference are arranged and represented in series, comprising:
A video file data representation method for representing video file data to be represented, said video file data to be represented carrying tags having fields allocated thereto at least one semantic reference and further allocated thereto a specified layer in a multi-layer hierarchical structure and being constructed so that video file data carrying tags having the specified semantic reference and a specified layer are arranged and represented in series, comprising:
The video file data representation method of 2, wherein the hierarchical structure includes a multiple six layers of scene, plot, play, shot, take, frame and object, in that a top layer denoting global information, the lower layer denoting comparatively primitive information and the lowest layer denoting most primitive information.
The video file data representation method of 2, wherein the hierarchical structure includes a six layers of scene, plot, play, shot, take, frame and object, in that a top layer denoting global information, the lower layer denoting comparatively primitive information and the lowest layer denoting most primitive information.
The video file data representation method of 2, wherein a plurality of the said video file data carrying tags having information of a specified semantic reference and a specified layer are hyper-linked and are presented in a series.
An apparatus for representing video file data to be represented, said video file data to be represented carrying tags having fields allocated thereto at least one semantic reference and being constructed so that video file data carrying tags having the specified semantic reference are arranged and represented in series, comprising:
An apparatus for representing video file data to be represented, said video file data to be represented carrying tags having fields allocated thereto at least one semantic reference and further allocated thereto a specified layer in a multi-layer hierarchical structure and being constructed so that video file data carrying tags having the specified semantic reference and a specified layer are arranged and represented in series, comprising:
A computer readable memory product for instructing a computer to representing video file data to be represented, said video file data to be represented carrying tags having fields allocated thereto at least one semantic reference and being constructed so that video file data carrying tags having the specified semantic reference are arranged and represented in series, by using a plurality of tags containing semantic references for video file data, the semantic references including information about records having a field with at least one semantic reference on the said video file data to be searched, said memory product storing a program to instruct a computer to;
A computer readable memory product for instructing a computer to represent video file data to be represented, said video file data to be represented carrying tags having fields allocated thereto at least one semantic reference and further allocated thereto a specified layer in a multi-layer hierarchical structure and being constructed so that video file data carrying tags having the specified semantic reference are arranged and represented in series by using a plurality of tags containing semantic references for video file data, the semantic references including information about records having a field with at least one semantic reference on the said video file data to be searched, and containing information of a specified layer by classifying semantic reference on the said video file data to be searched by using a plurality of hierarchical levels, said memory product storing a product to instruct a computer to;
