摘要： Apparatus and methods for auctioning time and desktop space to product and service suppliers are provided. The apparatus and methods obtain bids from various product and service suppliers and determine which of the bids are the highest ranking bids. The particular product and service suppliers from which bids are obtained may be determined based on user preferences stored in a user profile, for example. Based on the ranking of the bids, commercial information from the product and/or service suppliers is presented to the user. Higher ranking bids are provided with larger display space on a user's client device display and are provided with a longer display time before cycling to the next lower ranking bid. In addition, multiple displays of commercial information may be provided at a same time with the size and duration of the displays being determined based on the ranking of the associated bid from the product/service supplier.

摘要： Systems and methods for describing image content establish image description records which include an object set (24), an object hierarchy (26) and entity relation graphs (28). For image content, image objects can include global objects (O0 8) and local objects (O1 2 and O2 6). The image objects are further defined by a number of features of different classes (36, 38 and 40), which in turn are further defined by a number of feature descriptors. The relationships between and among the objects in the object set are defined by the object hierarchy (26) and entity relation graphs (28). The image description records provide a standard vehicle for describing the content and context of image information for subsequent access and processing by computer applications such as search engines, filters, and archive systems.
摘要翻译：用于描述图像内容的系统和方法建立包括对象集（24），对象层次（26）和实体关系图（28）的图像描述记录。对于图像内容，图像对象可以包括全局对象（O 0 8）和本地对象（O 1 2和O 2 6）。图像对象由不同类别（36,38和40）的许多特征进一步限定，这些特征又由许多特征描述符进一步限定。对象集合中的对象之间和之间的关系由对象层次结构（26）和实体关系图（28）定义。图像描述记录提供用于描述图像信息的内容和上下文的标准车辆，用于随后由计算机应用（例如搜索引擎，过滤器和归档系统）的访问和处理。

摘要： A method and apparatus for encoding knowledge using a multimedia network. A multimedia network represents semantic concepts and their relations using multimedia content. A multimedia network associates words and multimedia content with the semantic concepts in order to illustrate and exemplify the semantic concepts as well as describe lexical, semantic, and perceptual relations. The multimedia network can be searched, browsed, or summarized for purposes of information discovery. The multimedia network can also be used for personalizing multimedia content or for querying a multimedia information repository by expanding a query to include related concepts encoded in a Multimedia network.

摘要： A method and system enables network intermediaries such as proxies to transcode multimedia data without violating end-to-end security guarantees. In one embodiment, a content provider decomposes a data stream into a plurality of components, each of which are independently encrypted. In a preferred embodiment, an intermediary or proxy performs transcoding of the components by prioritizing and dropping predetermined components, in accordance with unencrypted clear-text metadata associated with each component, without the need for decrypting the components. Clear-text metadata preferably provides a semantic understanding of the absolute or relative importance/priority of the components with respect to each other, thereby facilitating the transcoding process. The destination/client device can subsequently decrypt the components transmitted by the transcoding proxy and reassemble them into a representation of the original data content.
摘要翻译：一种方法和系统使得诸如代理之类的网络中介器能够在不违反端到端安全保证的情况下对多媒体数据进行代码转换。在一个实施例中，内容提供者将数据流分解成多个组件，每个组件被独立地加密。在优选实施例中，中介或代理通过根据与每个组件关联的未加密的明文元数据优先排列和丢弃预定组件来执行组件的代码转换，而不需要解密组件。明文元数据优选地提供了关于组件相对于彼此的绝对或相对重要性/优先级的语义理解，从而便于转码过程。目的地/客户端设备可随后解密由代码转换代理发送的组件，并将其重新组合成原始数据内容的表示。

摘要： Described is a method and apparatus for obtaining accurate, timely information for event detection and prediction based on autonomous opportunism. The objective is to make the best possible use of all available resources at the time of acquisition, including historical data, multiple sensors, and multiresolution acquisition capabilities, under a given set of processing and communication bandwidth constraints. This method (and the corresponding apparatus) fuses multiple adaptively acquired data sources to prepare information for use by decision support models. The onboard data acquisition schedule is constructed to maximize the prediction accuracy of the decision models, which are designed to operate progressively, utilizing data representations consisting of multiple abstraction levels and multiple resolutions. Due to the progressive nature of these models, they can be executed onboard even with the use of substantially summarized (or compressed) datasets delivered from the ground or from other satellite platforms. Models are formulated to accept data with less than complete certainty, thus allowing real-time decisions to be made on locations where additional data is to be acquired based on predicted likelihood of the event of interest and uncertainties. Multi-abstraction-level multi-resolution data is expressed using standard-compliant representations, and progressively transmitted to the ground or other platforms. More detailed calculations can then be performed on the ground using all of the available real time and historical data.
摘要翻译：描述了一种用于基于自主机会主义获得准确，及时的事件检测和预测信息的方法和装置。目标是在给定的一组处理和通信带宽约束下，在获取时尽可能最好地利用所有可用资源，包括历史数据，多个传感器和多分辨率获取功能。该方法（和相应的装置）融合多个自适应采集的数据源，以准备供决策支持模型使用的信息。构建车载数据采集计划，以最大化决策模型的预测精度，其被设计为逐步运行，利用由多个抽象级别和多个分辨率组成的数据表示。由于这些模型的渐进性，即使使用从地面或其他卫星平台传送的基本总结（或压缩）数据集，它们也可以在船上执行。模型被制定为接受不完全确定性的数据，从而允许根据预期的兴趣事件和不确定性的可能性来获取附加数据的位置进行实时决策。多抽象级多分辨率数据使用符合标准的表示法表示，并逐渐传输到地面或其他平台。然后可以使用所有可用的实时和历史数据在地面上执行更详细的计算。

摘要： Methods and apparatus for providing a multi-tier object-relational database architecture are disclosed. In one illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a multi-tier database architecture comprises an object-relational database engine as a top tier, one or more domain-specific extension modules as a bottom tier, and one or more universal extension modules as a middle tier. The individual extension modules of the bottom tier operationally connect with the one or more universal extension modules which, themselves, operationally connect with the database engine. The domain-specific extension modules preferably provide such functions as search, index, and retrieval services of images, video, audio, time series, web pages, text, XML, spatial data, etc. The domain-specific extension modules may include one or more IBM DB2 extenders, Oracle data cartridges and/or Informix datablades, although other domain-specific extension modules may be used.

摘要： A multimedia archive description scheme is provided for characterizing a multimedia archive having records and associated record descriptions. The multimedia archive description scheme provides a data structure which relates records by similarity measures. The principle data structure in the multimedia archive description scheme is a cluster. A cluster includes one or more attributes of the records in the archive and can include one or more cluster relationships. Cluster attributes can include feature space attributes, semantic attributes, media attributes and meta attributes of the records in the archive. The cluster relationships can relate records to clusters or clusters to clusters. Cluster relationships can include feature space (syntactic) relationships, semantic relationships, media relationships and meta relationships. The multimedia archive description scheme provides an efficient form for describing a collection of records.
