Time ordered indexing of an information stream
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- identifying two or more types of attributes of an information stream;
encoding each identified attribute from the information stream;
assigning a time ordered indication with each of the identified attributes, each of the identified attributes sharing a common time reference; and
generating a time ordered index of the identified attributes.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses in which two or more types of attributes from an information stream are identified. Each of the identified attributes from the information stream is encoded. A time ordered indication is assigned with each of the identified attributes. Each of the identified attributes shares a common time reference measurement. A time ordered index of the identified attributes is generated.

34. An apparatus comprising:
-
a software engine operable to apply one or more attribute filters to detect attributes from an information stream, identify the attributes, and assign a time ordered indication with each of the identified attributes, the software engine having an index control module to facilitate time order indexing of the identified attributes in order to be frame accurate; and
a computer readable medium to store the software engine. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
