Abstract
A method for linking between a multimedia data element (MMDE) and a web page. The method comprises receiving a MMDE from a source; generating a signature representative of the MMDE using a signature generator; matching the generated signature with a plurality of signatures stored in a database to find at least one matching signature; extracting a universal resource locator (URL) of a web page associated with the matching signature, wherein the URL is part of a metadata of the matching signature; and providing the URL to the source over a network.
Claims19
A method for linking between a multimedia data element (MMDE) and a web page, comprising:
- receiving a MMDE from a source;
- dividing the received MMDE into a plurality of segments of random length and random position using a patch generator;
- generating a signature representative of the received MMDE using a signature generator;
- matching the generated signature with a plurality of concept structures stored in a database to find at least one matching concept structure, wherein each concept structure is a collection of signatures and metadata describing the concept structure, the collection of signatures of the concept structure is a signature reduced cluster generated by inter-matching signatures generated for the plurality of MMDEs, wherein the at least one matching concept is represented using at least one signature;
- storing the signature generated for the received MMDE in the database;
- extracting a universal resource locator (URL) of a web page associated with the at least one matching concept structure, wherein the URL is part of a metadata of the matching concept structure;
- associating the extracted URL with the signature as a metadata of the signature generated for the MMDE;
- and
- providing the URL to the source over a network.
A system for automatic linking between a multimedia data element (MMDE) and a web page, the system comprising:
- a database containing a plurality of concepts structures, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of concept structures having a universal resource locator (URL) of a respective web page associated to as a metadata, wherein each concept structure is a collection of signatures and metadata describing the concept structure, the collection of signatures of the concept structure is a signature reduced cluster generated by inter-matching signatures generated for the plurality of MMDEs, wherein the at least one matching concept is represented using at least one signature;
- a patch generator for receiving a MMDE from a source through a network and dividing the MMDE into a plurality of segments of random length and random position;
- a signature generator for receiving the MMDE from the patch generator and generating a signature for the received MMDE;
- and
- a matching engine for matching the generated signature for the received MMDE to the plurality of signatures of concept structures —stored in the database and outputting the URL of at least one concept structure matching the generated signature, thereby responsive to receiving the MMDE a web page respective of the URL can be accessed.
