Abstract
A method for supporting searching in digital multimedia content comprising forming a virtual solid body by calculation of a primary area and a secondary area, separated by a function of time, wherein the calculation forms the virtual solid body, associating a metadata object with the virtual solid body, creating a record for the virtual solid body, the record containing the metadata object associated with the virtual solid body, providing the record to a search engine, wherein the record is arranged such that searches can be performed by the search engine, potentially resulting in a pointer to the virtual solid body in the content.
Claims28
A method for supporting searching in digital multimedia content (100), the method comprising:
- forming a virtual solid body (350) by calculation of a primary area and a secondary area, separated by a function of time, wherein the calculation forms the virtual solid body (350),
- associating a metadata object (110) with the virtual solid body (350),
- creating a record (130) for the virtual solid body (350), the record (130) containing the metadata object (110) associated with the virtual solid body (350);
- providing the record (130) to a search engine (140);
- wherein the record (130) is arranged such that searches can be performed by the search engine (140), potentially resulting in a pointer (145) to the virtual solid body (350) in the content (100).
A system for supporting searches in digital multimedia content (100), the system comprising:
- means for forming of a virtual solid body (350) by calculation of a primary area and a secondary area, separated by a function of time, wherein the calculation forms the virtual solid body (350),
- means for association of a metadata object (110) with the virtual solid body (350),
- means for creation of a record (130) for the virtual solid body (350), the record (130) containing the metadata object (110) associated with the virtual solid body (350);
- means for provision of the record (130) to a search engine (140);
- wherein the record (130) is arranged such that searches can be performed by the search engine (140), potentially resulting in a pointer (145) to the virtual solid body (350) in the content (100).
