Multimedia structure and method for browsing multimedia with defined priority of multimedia segments and semantic elements
First Claim
1. A multimedia data structure comprising:
- a structure information of a plurality of segments;
a semantic information of a plurality of semantic elements;
a link information which connects at least one segment to corresponding at least one semantic element, wherein said link information includes, as an attribute, one of at least a priority or weight information between each connected at least one segment and at least one semantic element.

Abstract
A more efficient data structure and method for browsing a multimedia is disclosed. In the present invention, link information between segments and semantic elements of a multimedia data structure is generated with minimal use of storage. Also, priority or weight of segments is represented based on semantic elements and priority or weight of semantic elements is represented based on segments to allow a search of multimedia based on content. The priority or weight information is represented as an attribute of the link information to increase the efficiency of the storage and a method of automatically extracting the priority or weight information is disclosed.

10. A system for browsing multimedia comprising:
-
receiving a user selection of either a semantic element from semantic information or a segment from structure information;
obtaining link information corresponding to a selected semantic element or segment, wherein the link information includes at least one of a priority or weight information as an attribute of the link information; and
displaying segments linked with a selected semantic element in sequence according to the priority or weight information using the link information, if a semantic element is selected for browsing based on semantic elements; and
displaying sections which describes semantic elements linked with a selected segment in sequence according to the priority or weight information using the link information, if a segment is selected for browsing based on segments. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of displaying results of multimedia browsing comprising:
-
storing a structure information of a plurality of segments, and a semantic information of a plurality of semantic elements;
storing link information which links at least one segment to corresponding at least one semantic element, wherein said link information includes, as an attribute, at least one of a priority information or weight information between the connected at least one segment and at least one semantic element;
obtaining link information corresponding to a semantic element or a segment, selected by a user for browsing; and
displaying segments linked with a selected semantic element in sequence according to the priority or weight information using the link information, if a semantic element is selected for browsing based on semantic elements; and
displaying sections which describes semantic elements linked with a selected segment in sequence according to the priority or weight information using the link information, if a segment is selected for browsing based on segments. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
