Abstract
A method of indexing multimedia content is disclosed. An element associated with a multimedia content is located in a display page. A potential multimedia content data file is identified through automated processing of data associated with the display page. An index data associated with one or more of the following: the display page, the multimedia content, and the potential multimedia content data file, is generated by processing the potential multimedia content data file.
Claims21
to 23. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- locating in a display page an element associated with a multimedia content;
- identifying through automated processing of data associated with the display page a binary multimedia application code;
- decompiling the binary multimedia application code;
- using a sniffer to parse network traffic to identify a potential multimedia content data file by parsing HTTP traffic to recognize XML files by identifying XML tags using regular expressions or DOM traversal;
- applying a heuristic to the potential multimedia content data file that associates a short string as a title;
- a long string as a description;
- a string included in a set of rating strings as a rating;
- and a date as a release date;
- and
- using the application of the heuristic to build a data model of the potential multimedia content data file.
A system, comprising
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to:
- locate in a display page an element associated with a multimedia content;
- identify through automated processing of data associated with the display page a binary multimedia application code;
- decompile the binary multimedia application code;
- use a sniffer, coupled to the processor, to parse network traffic to identify a potential multimedia content data file by parsing HTTP traffic to recognize XML files by identifying XML tags using regular expressions or DOM traversal;
- apply a heuristic to the potential multimedia content data file that associates a short string as a title;
- a long string as a description;
- a string included in a set of rating strings as a rating;
- and a date as a release date;
- and
- use the application of the heuristic to build a data model of the potential multimedia content data file.
A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- locating in a display page an element associated with a multimedia content;
- identifying through automated processing of data associated with the display page a binary multimedia application code;
- decompiling the binary multimedia application code;
- using a sniffer to parse network traffic to identify a potential multimedia content data file by parsing HTTP traffic to recognize XML files by identifying XML tags using regular expressions or DOM traversal;
- applying a heuristic to the potential multimedia content data file that associates a short string as a title;
- a long string as a description;
- a string included in a set of rating strings as a rating;
- and a date as a release date;
- and
- using the application of the heuristic to build a data model of the potential multimedia content data file.
