Object-based information storage, search and mining system method
First Claim
1. A method for conducting an object-based search comprising the steps of determining from the query, a set of characteristics corresponding to the search objective for the query, exploring objects in a search space, and identifying objects optimally conforming to the search objective, wherein conforming identified objects have a predetermined correspondence with the desired set of characteristics.

Abstract
The patent application taught an object based information storage, search and mining system and method, which can store, retrieve, and mine massively amount of object data efficiently. A first embodiment includes an object based search engine which can organize and identify the objects efficiently from the search space based on certain operational measure quantifying the search objectives. A second embodiment includes an operational measure estimator which can adaptively adjust or reconfigure itself to improve the accuracy of the estimation. A third embodiment includes a method for mapping objects onto a topological maps to enable identifying objects rapidly from the search space according to certain measures for search objectives. A forth embodiment includes a method for conducting object based search through mapping query objects and search objects onto topological maps and searching effectively through the maps based on certain operational measures.

17. A multimedia object miner, comprising
a query object mapper for receiving and organizing query objects from service requesting agent, and a search object mapper for retrieving and organizing search objects from one or more search spaces, and an operational measure estimator for receiving a priori parameters and generating estimation for operation measure of an expected search objective, and an object mining processor for controlling searches of the one or more search spaces and adaptively modifying parameters controlling operation of the query object mapper and the search object mapper.

21. A method for mapping a multidimensional object on a topological map, comprising the steps of
locating a closest other object mapped on the topological map, the closest other object having a predetermined correspondence with the first object, and mapping the object on the topological map in relative proximity to the other object, wherein correspondence between objects is related to a difference measure associated with the objects.
