1. A method of applying a database to video multimedia, the method comprising:
- indexing video content;
storing the indexed video content in an index database, the indexed video content comprising metadata;
encoding the video content concurrent with the indexing of the video content, wherein the index database does not contain the encoded video content; and
storing in the index database at least one tag correlated with the video content on a time-code basis, wherein the tag is valid for a certain span of time within the video, and wherein the tag is configured to be associated with an advertisement or ecommerce opportunity,wherein the method is carried out in a computing environment.

Abstract
A system and method for applying a database to video multimedia is disclosed. Certain embodiments provide media content owners the capability to exploit video processing capabilities using rich, interactive and compelling visual content on a network. Mechanisms of associating video with commerce offerings are provided. Video server and search server technologies are integrated with ad serving personalization agents to make the final presentations of content and advertising. Algorithms utilized by the system use a variety of techniques for making the final presentation decisions of which ads, with which content, are served to which user.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions for applying a database to video multimedia, wherein execution of the program instructions by a computing environment carries out a method, comprising:
-
indexing video content; storing a plurality of indices that result from the indexing in an index database, the indices comprising metadata; encoding the video content concurrent with the indexing of the video content, wherein the index database does not contain the encoded video content; storing in the index database a plurality of tags correlated with the video content on a time-code basis via the index database; collecting, with a personalization agent, a user profile describing the content that is most of interest to the user; algorithmically selecting a single metadata type from a plurality of metadata types in the user profile; and algorithmically selecting an advertisement or ecommerce opportunity associated with the selected single metadata type. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A system for applying a database to video multimedia, the system comprising:
-
a computing environment configured to index video content; a computer database accessed by the computing environment, the computer database storing a plurality of indices that result from indexing the video content, the indices comprising metadata, wherein each stored index is associated with one of a plurality of different metadata types and at least a portion of the stored indices are associated with different ones of the metadata types; the computing environment further configured to; encode the video content concurrent with the indexing of the video content, wherein the database does not contain the encoded video content; store in the database a plurality of tags correlated with the video content on a time-code basis via the computer database; make associations between the video content and at least one of ad banners, product offerings, and service offerings so that such items are synchronized via the tags; and algorithmically select an advertisement or ecommerce opportunity based on metadata of the video content. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A method of applying a database to video multimedia, the method comprising:
-
indexing video content to generate an index; storing the index in an index database; encoding the video content concurrent with the indexing of the video content, wherein the index database does not contain the encoded video content; and associating a plurality of tags with the video content on a time-code basis via the database, wherein at least one of the tags is valid for a certain span of time within the video.
