1. A method for linking between a multimedia data element (MMDE) and a web page, comprising:
- receiving a MMDE from a source;
dividing the received MMDE into a plurality of segments of random length and random position using a patch generator;
generating a signature representative of the received MMDE using a signature generator;
matching the generated signature with a plurality of concept structures stored in a database to find at least one matching concept structure, wherein each concept structure is a collection of signatures and metadata describing the concept structure, the collection of signatures of the concept structure is a signature reduced cluster generated by inter-matching signatures generated for the plurality of MMDEs, wherein the at least one matching concept is represented using at least one signature;
storing the signature generated for the received MMDE in the database;
extracting a universal resource locator (URL) of a web page associated with the at least one matching concept structure, wherein the URL is part of a metadata of the matching concept structure;
associating the extracted URL with the signature as a metadata of the signature generated for the MMDE; and
providing the URL to the source over a network.

Abstract
A method for linking between a multimedia data element (MMDE) and a web page. The method comprises receiving a MMDE from a source; generating a signature representative of the MMDE using a signature generator; matching the generated signature with a plurality of signatures stored in a database to find at least one matching signature; extracting a universal resource locator (URL) of a web page associated with the matching signature, wherein the URL is part of a metadata of the matching signature; and providing the URL to the source over a network.

11. A system for automatic linking between a multimedia data element (MMDE) and a web page, the system comprising:
-
a database containing a plurality of concepts structures, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of concept structures having a universal resource locator (URL) of a respective web page associated to as a metadata, wherein each concept structure is a collection of signatures and metadata describing the concept structure, the collection of signatures of the concept structure is a signature reduced cluster generated by inter-matching signatures generated for the plurality of MMDEs, wherein the at least one matching concept is represented using at least one signature; a patch generator for receiving a MMDE from a source through a network and dividing the MMDE into a plurality of segments of random length and random position; a signature generator for receiving the MMDE from the patch generator and generating a signature for the received MMDE; and a matching engine for matching the generated signature for the received MMDE to the plurality of signatures of concept structures —
stored in the database and outputting the URL of at least one concept structure matching the generated signature, thereby responsive to receiving the MMDE a web page respective of the URL can be accessed. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
