Abstract

A psycho-analytical system and method for audio and visual indexing, searching and retrieval. Various embodiments of the system comprise a source of audiovisual data; a psycho-analytical converter configured to convert the audiovisual data; a component for storage of the converted audiovisual data; a psycho-analytical indexer configured to index the stored converted audiovisual data as psycho-analytical data; a component for storage of the indexed psycho-analytical data; and a psycho-analytical engine for searching the stored indexed psycho-analytical data. The resulting information is presented by the psycho-analytical engine to a user application and/or to a user.

Claims

1. A psycho-analytical system for audio and visual indexing, searching and retrieval comprising:

a source of audiovisual data;

a psycho-analytical converter configured to convert the audiovisual data;

a component for storage of the converted audiovisual data;

a psycho-analytical indexer configured to index the stored converted audiovisual data as psycho-analytical data; and

a component for storage of the indexed psycho-analytical data.

2. The psycho-analytical system of claim 1, further comprising a psycho-analytical engine for searching the stored indexed psycho-analytical data.

3. The psycho-analytical system of claim 2, wherein the psycho-analytical engine retrieves at least part of the searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data.

4. The psycho-analytical system of claim 3, wherein at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data is presented to a user.

5. The psycho-analytical system of claim 3, wherein at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data is presented to a user application.

6. The psycho-analytical system of claim 3, wherein at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data is presented to a music application.

7. The psycho-analytical system of claim 3, wherein at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data is presented to an image application.

8. The psycho-analytical system of claim 3, wherein at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data is presented to a video application.

9. The psycho-analytical system of claim 3, wherein at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data is presented to a server application.

10. The psycho-analytical system of claim 3, wherein at least part of the retrieved searched analyzed stored indexed psycho-analytical data is presented to a hardware device.

11. A psycho-analytical method for audio and visual indexing, searching and retrieval comprising:

sourcing audiovisual data;

converting the audiovisual data to a format suitable for encoded data storage;

storing the converted audiovisual data in an encoded format;

indexing the stored converted audiovisual data as psycho-analytical data; and

storing the indexed psycho-analytical data.

12. The psycho-analytical method of claim 11, further comprising searching the stored indexed psycho-analytical data.

13. The psycho-analytical method of claim 12, further comprising retrieving at least part of the searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data.

14. The psycho-analytical method of claim 13, further comprising presenting to a user at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data.

15. The psycho-analytical method of claim 13, further comprising presenting to a user application at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data.

16. The psycho-analytical method of claim 13, further comprising presenting to a server application at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data.

17. The psycho-analytical method of claim 13, further comprising presenting to a hardware device at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data.

18. A psycho-analytical method for audio and visual indexing, searching and retrieval comprising:

sourcing audiovisual data;

converting the audiovisual data to a format suitable for encoded data storage;

storing the converted audiovisual data in an encoded format;

indexing the stored converted audiovisual data as psycho-analytical data;

storing the indexed psycho-analytical data;

searching the stored indexed psycho-analytical data; and

retrieving at least part of the searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data.

19. The psycho-analytical method of claim 18, further comprising presenting to a user application at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data.

20. The psycho-analytical method of claim 18, further comprising presenting to a user at least part of the retrieved searched stored indexed psycho-analytical data.
