System and methods for generation of a concept based database
First Claim
1. A system for generating a concept database based on a plurality of multimedia data elements (MMDEs), comprising:
- an attention processor (AP) configured to generate a plurality of items from a received MMDE of the plurality of MMDEs and to determined which of the generated items are of interest for signature generation, wherein an item is of interest for signature generation if an entropy of the item is above a predefined threshold;
a signature generator (SG) configured to generate at least one signature responsive to at least one item of interest of the received MMDE of the plurality of MMDEs;
a clustering processor (CP) configured to cluster a plurality of signatures received from the signature generator responsive of the plurality of MMDEs and to create a signature reduced cluster (SRC);
a concept generator (CG) configured to associate metadata with the SRC and to form a concept structure comprised of a plurality of previously generated SRCs, the created SRC, and their associated metadata, wherein the CG is further configured to;
generate metadata for each of the created SRC,compare the generated metadata to metadata associated with each SRC of the plurality of previously generated SRCs to determine if there is a match, andassociate the created SRC with the matching SRCs of the plurality of previously generated SRCs upon determining that there is a match; and
an index generator (IG) configured to generate at least one index for mapping the received MMDE to the at least one concept structure formed by the CG, wherein the at least concept structures and the at least one generated index are stored in the concept database.

Abstract
A system and method for generating a concept database based on at least two multimedia data elements (MMDEs). The method includes: generating at least two items from a received MMDE of the at least two MMDEs; determining the items that are of interest for signature generation; generating at least one signature responsive to at least one item of interest of the received MMDE; clustering at least two signatures received from the signature generator responsive of the plurality of MMDEs; reducing the number of signatures in each cluster to a create a signature reduced cluster (SRC) of the cluster; associating metadata with the SRC to a concept structure including at least two SRCs and their associated metadata; and generating at least one index for mapping the received MMDE to at least one concept structure, wherein the concept database includes concept structures and the generated indices for the at least two MMDEs.

11. A method for generating a concept database based on a plurality of multimedia data elements (MMDEs) comprising:
-
generating a plurality of items from a received MMDE of the plurality of MMDEs; determining the items that are of interest for signature generation, wherein an item is of interest for signature generation if an entropy of the item is above a predefined threshold; generating at least one signature responsive to at least one item of interest of the received MMDE of the plurality of MMDEs; clustering a plurality of signatures received from the signature generator responsive of the plurality of MMDEs; reducing the number of signatures in each cluster to create a signature reduced cluster (SRC) of the cluster; associating metadata with the SRC and forming a concept structure comprised of a plurality of previously generated SRCs, the created SRC, and their associated metadata, wherein the associating further comprises; generating metadata for each of the created SRC, comparing the generated metadata to metadata associated with each SRC of the plurality of previously generated SRCs to determine if there is a match, and upon determining that there is a match, associating the created SRC with the matching SRCs of the plurality of previously generated SRCs; generating at least one index for mapping the received MMDE to the at least one concept structure; and storing the at least one concept structure and the at least one generated index in the concept database. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
