1. A computer readable medium having stored thereon:
- a structure information of a plurality of segments;
a semantic information of a plurality of semantic elements; and
a link information which connects at least one selected segment to at least one semantic element, wherein said link information includes, as an attribute, at least one of a priority or weight information between each connected at least one segment and at least one semantic element.

Abstract
A more efficient data structure and method for browsing a multimedia is disclosed. In the present invention, link information between segments and semantic elements of a multimedia data structure is generated with minimal use of storage. Also, priority or weight of segments is represented based on semantic elements and priority or weight of semantic elements is represented based on segments to allow a search of multimedia based on content. The priority or weight information is represented as an attribute of the link information to increase the efficiency of the storage and a method of automatically extracting the priority or weight information is disclosed.

setting one of a priority or a weight value for an image to a ratio which is an amount of a semantic element that occupies the image;
setting a corresponding one of a priority or weight value for a video clip by a temporal ratio which is the length of a section in which a semantic element appears in a segment; and
setting a corresponding one of a priority or weight value for an audio by a ratio which is a combination of the degree of sound due to a semantic element and the length of time in which the sound is heard during a segment.

10. A method for browsing multimedia, comprising:
-
receiving a predetermined selection of either a semantic element from semantic information or a segment from structure information;
obtaining link information corresponding to a selected semantic element or segment, wherein the link information includes at least one of a priority or weight information as an attribute of the link information;
displaying segments linked with a selected semantic element in sequence according to the priority or weight information using the link information, if a semantic element is selected for browsing based on semantic elements; and
displaying sections which describe semantic elements linked with a selected segment in sequence according to the priority or weight information using the link information, if a segment is selected for browsing based on segments. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of using a computer processor for displaying multimedia in a multimedia browsing system, comprising:
-
storing a structure information of a plurality of segments, and a semantic information of a plurality of semantic elements;
storing link information which links at least one segment to corresponding at least one semantic element, wherein said link information includes, as an attribute, at least one of a priority information or weight information between the connected at least one segment and at least one semantic element;
obtaining link information corresponding to a semantic element or a segment, selected by a user for browsing; and
producing and displaying segments linked with a selected semantic element in sequence according to the priority or weight information using the link information, if a semantic element is selected for browsing based on semantic elements; and
producing and displaying sections which describes semantic elements linked with a selected segment in sequence according to the priority or weight information using the link information, if a segment is selected for browsing based on segments. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A method for generating multimedia data, comprising:
-
receiving a predetermined selection of either a semantic element from semantic information or a segment from structure information;
obtaining link information corresponding to a selected semantic element or segment, wherein the link information includes a strength of the link information indicating the strength of a relationship between the semantic element and the segment of the selected semantic element; and
identifying a plurality of corresponding multimedia data ranked according to said strength of the link information. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. A method performed by a computing device, comprising:
-
receiving a predetermined selection of either a semantic element from semantic information or a segment from structure information;
forming a computer readable medium including a data structure having link information corresponding to a selected semantic element or segment, wherein the link information includes a strength of the link information indicating the strength of a relationship between the semantic element and the segment of the selected semantic element; and
searching a database of images for the selected semantic element or segment using the link information including the strength of the link information. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
