Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure intend to provide a method and system for processing multimedia data. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for processing multimedia data, comprising: generating an annotation text; and associating the annotation text with a corresponding partition in the multimedia data. By using the processing method and system according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, multimedia data searching efficiency may be effectively enhanced.

Claims

1. A method for processing multimedia data, comprising:

generating an annotation text; and

associating the annotation text and a corresponding partition in the multimedia data.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the annotation text includes information indicating start time and stop time of a corresponding partition.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the annotation text comprises information indicating at least one of keyword, content description, importance level, classification information, main color, role attribute, hot degree graph, key area, security level and geographical location of the multimedia data.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the multimedia data is one of video data, audio data, image data, and text data.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein when the multimedia data is video data or image data, an optical character recognition technology is used to recognize characters in a video frame or an image, and the annotation text is generated based on the recognized characters.

6. The method according to claim 4, wherein when the multimedia data is audio data, a voice recognition technology is used to recognize words in an audio, and the annotation text is generated based on the recognized words.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the annotation text comprises information indicating at least one of a displaying location during play and a displaying format.

8. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

searching the annotation text; and

displaying a corresponding partition of the multimedia data based on a search result.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein searching the annotation text comprises:

performing search based on at least one of keyword, content description, importance level, classification information, main color, role attribute, hot degree graph, key area, security level and geographical location of the multimedia data.

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein searching the annotation text is only searching an annotation text satisfying a security level in the annotation text.

11. The method according to claim 8, wherein displaying a corresponding partition of the multimedia data based on the search result is only displaying a partition satisfying a security level in the multimedia data.

12. A system for processing multimedia data, comprising:

a text generating module configured to generate an annotation text; and

an associating module configured to associate the annotation text and a corresponding partition in the multimedia data.

13. The system according to claim 12, wherein the annotation text includes information indicating start time and stop time of a corresponding partition.

14. The system according to claim 12, wherein the annotation text comprises information indicating at least one of keyword, content description, importance level, classification information, main color, role attribute, hot degree graph, key area, security level and geographical location of the multimedia data.

15. The system according to claim 12, wherein the annotation text comprises information indicating at least one of a displaying location during play and a displaying format.

16. The system according to claim 12, further comprising:

a searching module configured to search the annotation text; and

a displaying module configured to display a corresponding partition of the multimedia data based on a search result.

17. The system according to claim 16, wherein the searching module is configured to perform search based on at least one of keyword, content description, importance level, classification information, main color, role attribute, hot degree graph, key area, security level and geographical location of the multimedia data.

18. The system according to claim 16, wherein the searching module is configured to only search an annotation text satisfying a security level in the annotation text.

19. The system according to claim 16, wherein the displaying module is configured to only display a partition satisfying a security level in the multimedia data.

20. A computer program product stored on a non-transient computer-readable memory medium for processing multimedia data, comprising:

a first program instruction for generating an annotation text, and

a second program instruction for associating the annotation text with a corresponding partition in the multimedia data.
