Systems and methods for interoperable multimedia content descriptions
First Claim
1. A system for creating a description record from multimedia information, comprising:
- (a) at least one multimedia information input interface receiving said multimedia information;
(b) a computer processor, coupled to said at least one multimedia information input interface, receiving said multimedia information therefrom, processing said multimedia information by performing object extraction processing to create multimedia object descriptions from said multimedia information, said object descriptions associated with distinct multimedia objects, and processing said created multimedia object descriptions by object hierarchy processing to create multimedia object hierarchy descriptions indicative of an organization of said object descriptions and said distinct associated multimedia objects, wherein at least one description record including said multimedia object descriptions and said multimedia object hierarchy descriptions is created for content embedded within said multimedia information wherein said description record allows for searching said multimedia information for said embedded content; and
(c) a data storage system, operatively coupled to said processor, for storing said at least one description record.

Abstract
Systems and methods for generating standard description records from multimedia information are provided. The system includes at least one multimedia information input interface (180) receiving multimedia information, a computer processor, and a data storage system (150), operatively coupled to said processor, for storing said at least one description record. The processor performs object extraction processing to generate multimedia object descriptions (200, 201, 205) from the multimedia information, and object hierarchy processing (410, 420) to generate multimedia object hierarchy descriptions, to generate at least one description record including the multimedia object descriptions (200, 201, 205) and multimedia object hierarchy descriptions for content embedded within the multimedia information.
