Abstract

System for ranking segmented video files, comprising a server including a computer, said server including one or more segmented video files stored in a video database, each said segmented video file containing video information for visually reproducing at least one video object, where a video object is a visual component of the video file; an object inventory database operating on said server and containing information describing a location of said at least one video object within each of at least one image frame within at least one of the segmented video files; the server executing software indexing each segmented video file for the occurrence of at least one video object; the server executing software determining a duration of time that the at least one video object appears in each video file.

Claims (9)

1. System for ranking segmented video files, comprising:

a server including a computer, said server including one or more segmented video files stored in a video database,

each said segmented video file containing video information for visually reproducing at least one video object, where a video object is a visual component of the video file;

an object inventory database operating on said server and containing information describing a location of said at least one video object within each of at least one image frame within at least one of the segmented video files;

the server executing software indexing each segmented video file for the occurrence of at least one video object;

the server executing software determining a duration of time that the at least one video object appears in each video file; and

the server executing software outputting information specifying a ranking of the duration of time in each of the video files relative to other of the video files in the video database.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server executing software is further outputting information specifying the title of the video file.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server executing software is ranking the duration of object appearances in video files according to a duration of time, frequency and context a given object appears in the video.
