Abstract

A system and method for content management is disclosed. Textual content is parsed into forming identified content by excluding common words. The identified content is linked to relevant images. Relevant images are searched and from a number of candidate images suitable to be inserted proximate to the identified content. A relevant image based on a ranking of the images is selected and inserted proximate to the identified content with or without human intervention.

Claims

1. A method for associating textual content with a relevant image comprising:

receiving textual content;

adaptively linking the textual content to at least one image; and

inserting a relevant image from the at least one image proximate to the textual content.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising

parsing the received textual content into words;

excluding a set of common words from the parsed textual content, wherein the set of common words being predefined in an exclusion list.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising

identifying a location proximate to the textual content for inserting the relevant image based on the textual content.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising

searching a repository for the at least one image;

fetching the at least one image from a repository; and

presenting the at least one image to the user.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising

computing a score for each of the images, when the images comprises a set of more than one image, and ranking the images according to the computed score prior to presenting the images to the user.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the images are fetched only from a trusted source.

7. The method of claim 4, further comprising

identifying and selecting a relevant image to be inserted proximate to the textual content from the list of relevant images;

and

providing an interface enabling a user to insert the relevant image based on the word.

8. The method of claim 2, further comprising

grouping a set of words forming a context based phrases prior to identifying a location for inserting the relevant image proximate to the contextual phrase from the images after excluding the set of common words.

24. A method for deploying computing infrastructure, comprising integrating readable code into a computing system, wherein the readable code in combination with the computing system is capable of performing the method of claim 1.

9. A content management system comprising

a content processing system which comprises

a content controller for receiving content and creating identified content;

image controller for inserting images by associating the identified content with at least one image.

10. The content management system of claim 9, further configured to fetch the at least one image from a trusted source.

11. The content management system of claim 9, wherein the content processing system is configured to authenticate the at least one image.

12. The content management system of claim 9, wherein the content processing system further comprising a computing controller for computing a score for each of the images.

13. The content management system of claim 12, wherein the computing controller is configured to rank the images based on the computed score.

14. The content management system of claim 13, wherein only images above a pre-defined threshold score are presented to the user.

15. The content management system to claim 14, wherein relevant images above a pre-defined threshold score are inserted proximate to the identified content without any human intervention.

16. The content management system of claim 9, wherein the content controller is configured to determine the location to insert the relevant image proximate to the identified content without human intervention.

17. The content management system of claim 9, wherein the image controller is configured to authenticate and insert a relevant images without any human intervention.

18. The content management system of claim 9, wherein the content processing system is configured to enable the feature of processing input content without any human intervention.

19. An electronic device comprising the content management system as claimed in claim 9, the electronic device further comprising

a storage repository that is configured to stores textual content and images;

a memory configured to cache images from the repository;

a processor that is configured to execute a signal bearing instructions,

wherein the signal bearing instruction is configured to retrieve images and insert the relevant image proximate to the identified content.

20. The electronic device of claim 19, wherein the signal bearing instruction is configured to compute a score for each of the images and rank the images in accordance with the computed score.

21. The electronic device of claim 19, wherein the signal bearing instruction is configured to link the textual content to images;

search a repository for relevant images;

retrieve the images;

link the image to the identified content;

computing a score for ranking images in the images; and

subsequently presenting the images to the user to be inserted proximate to the identified content.

22. The electronic device of claim 19, wherein the signal bearing instruction is configured to link the textual content to images;

search a repository for relevant images;

retrieve the images;

link the image to the identified content;

computing a score for ranking images in the images; and

subsequently presenting the images to the user to be inserted proximate to the identified content without human intervention.

23. The electronic device of claim 19, further comprising a display device, wherein the display device is configured to display the textual content with the relevant images.
