20100039564 | ANALYSING VIDEO MATERIAL - Video material is dividing into temporal segments. Each segment is examined to determine whether the soundtrack of the segment contains speech sufficient for analysis and if so, metadata are generated based on analysis of the speech. If not, the segment is analysed by comparing frames thereof with those of stored segments that already have metadata assigned to them. One then assigns to the segment under consideration stored metadata associated with one or more stored segments that are similar. | 02-18-2010 |
20100049762 | ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL SYSTEM - An electronic document retrieval system is disclosed. It has particular utility to World-Wide Web searching. In contrast to conventional search engines, when providing supplementary results in addition to primary results, the system enables the supplementary results to include links to documents in web-sites other than the web-site to which the primary result belongs. In this way, a user is able to find the page most relevant to his query more rapidly than has hitherto been possible. | 02-25-2010 |

20100106701 | ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL SYSTEM - An electronic document retrieval system is disclosed. It has particular utility to World-Wide Web searching. The system requires webmasters to put forward categories into which the pages on their web-site might sensibly be divided, and to provide a list of those categories together with a list of popular keywords associated with those categories to a global search engine. The global search engine is then able to augment one or more of its search results with links to category-heading pages which most closely relate to the query provided by the user. In this way, a user is able to find the page most relevant to his query more rapidly than has hitherto been possible. | 04-29-2010 |
20110179074 | DATA SEARCHING - An apparatus and a method for identifying data subtypes within data structures. The segmentation into a number of data subtypes enables SQL queries, or other types of query, to be made based on the data subtypes. This enhances the quality of the queries. | 07-21-2011 |

20080235203 | Information Retrieval - A method and apparatus are provided for accessing a relevant information resource in response to a user query. An ontology is provided, defining relationships between a plurality of predefined concepts, and between each of the predefined concepts and one or more predefined context phrases. On receipt of a user query, portions of the received query are compared with the context phrases to identify one or more matching phrases and hence, from the predefined relationships with concepts in the ontology, one or more relevant concepts. Concepts identified in respect of the received user query are used to identify a relevant action using predefined relationships between concepts in the ontology and predefined actions, wherein an action comprises providing access to an information resource. | 09-25-2008 |
20100121813 | METHOD OF COMPARING DATA SEQUENCES - A method according to the present invention enables the similarity between sequences of symbols to be determined using rules generated from a dictionary-based compression scheme according to the content of the columns from databases. Pairs of symbols can replaced by rules that do not comprise a repeated combination of two symbols and where each rule occurs more than once in the sequence of symbols. The similarity of each set of rules can then be expressed numerically. | 05-13-2010 |
