System and method for transcoding digital content
First Claim
1. A system for transcoding digital content, the system comprising:
- a database system for storing annotations to be used in a transcoding process; and
a transcoder for transcoding the digital content based on an annotation stored in the database;
wherein, the database system selects the annotation based on correlation between elements in the digital content and descriptions of the annotations.

Abstract
A system and method for transcoding digital content (e.g. web content) by correctly employing one annotation for multiple digital contents. This can efficiently reduce the workloads required for the addition of annotation data during the transcoding process. A transcoding system comprises an annotation database system for storing annotation data to be used for the transcoding of contents, and a transcoder for transcoding the contents based on annotation data stored in the annotation database system. Upon receiving an inquiry from the transcoder, a correlation between elements in the contents and descriptions of the annotation data is checked to select one annotation that can be employed for transcoding the content. The correlation is specifically determined based on XPath information.

5. A method for transcoding digital content, the method comprising the steps of:
-
obtaining the digital content;
reading annotations to be used in a transcoding step from a database;
determining an annotation corresponding to the digital content based on correlation between elements in the digital content and descriptions of the annotations; and
transcoding the digital content based on the annotation determined at the determining step. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A program product executable on a computer for performing a method of transcoding digital content, the method comprising the steps of:
-
reading annotations to be used in a transcoding step from a database;
determining an annotation corresponding to the digital content based on correlation between a layout of the digital content and descriptions of the annotations; and
transcoding the digital content based on the annotation determined at the determining step.

9. A computer-readable recording medium storing annotation data to be used in a transcoding process of digital content, wherein
said annotation data is stored in annotation files that are prepared for units of digital contents, the annotation data including descriptions for the transcoding process, the descriptions being correlated with a layout of elements in the digital contents; - and
wherein said annotation files are sorted based on location information of the digital contents on a network. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A program product executable on a computer for performing a method of managing annotation data to be used for transcoding digital content, the method comprising the steps of:
-
evaluating a correlation between elements in the digital content and a description in the annotation data; and
presenting a interface to show a state of the correlation between the digital content and the annotation data, based on evaluation results obtained by the evaluating step. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
