Abstract
A method includes finding regions of a reference signal which provide at least one of: local evidence scores and a global evidence score. The local evidence scores indicate local similarity of the regions of the reference signal to regions of a query signal and the global evidence score defines the extent of a global similarity of the query signal to the reference signal. A media exploring device is also included which includes an importance encoder and a media explorer. The importance encoder generates importance scores of at least portions of digital media as a function of at least one of local evidence scores and global evidence scores. The media explorer enables exploring through the digital media according to (i) the importance scores, (ii) data associations/links induced by the evidence scores between different portions of the digital media. The device may also include a media player to play the digital media with adaptive speeds as a function of the importance scores. The device may also include a labeling/annotation module which inherits labels/annotations/markings according to the abovementioned data associations.

95. A method for determining signal similarity via composition, the method comprising:
-
composing at least part of a query signal from regions of a reference signal, wherein said composing comprises; finding regions of said reference signal which provide at least one of;
good local evidence scores and a good global evidence score to said query signal;wherein said local evidence scores indicate local similarity of said regions of said reference signal to regions of said query signal, and wherein said global evidence score defines the extent of a global similarity of said query signal to said reference signal; and outputting at least one of;
said composition and said evidence scores. - View Dependent Claims (98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 139)

97. A device comprising:
-
a regional similarity detector to find regions of a reference digital signal which provide local evidence scores, wherein said local evidence scores indicate local similarity of regions of said reference digital signal to regions of query digital signal; and an associator to provide associations from said reference digital signal to regions of said query digital signal which have high local evidence scores. - View Dependent Claims (136, 137)
