Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 700

US Classification:

709231, 707 3, 707101, 7075001, 7071041, 709232

Abstract:

A framework is provided for describing multimedia content and a system in which a plurality of multimedia storage devices employing the content description methods of the present invention can interoperate. In accordance with one form of the present invention, the content description framework is a description scheme (DS) for describing streams or aggregations of multimedia objects, which may comprise audio, images, video, text, time series, and various other modalities. This description scheme can accommodate an essentially limitless number of descriptors in terms of features, semantics or metadata, and facilitate content-based search, index, and retrieval, among other capabilities, for both streamed or aggregated multimedia objects.

International Classification:

G06K009/36

US Classification:

382232, 382100

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for selecting at least one transcoding method for manipulating multimedia data for delivery on the basis of analysis of the content of the multimedia data. Many possible transcoding operations can be performed on multimedia data to adapt it to constraints in delivery and display, processing and storage of client devices. The selection of specific transcoding operations can be made by first analyzing the features, purposes and relevances of the individual multimedia objects within the multimedia documents, then by selecting the transcoding alternatives according to the results of the analysis. Based on the analysis, different transcoding algorithms can be applied to different content, less than all of the content can be transcoded, groups of multimedia objects can be transcoded, etc.

International Classification:

G06F 9/445
G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717174, 717168, 717171, 717172

Abstract:

A system and method allow a user to extract the set of customizations performed on an application and use these to estimate the time and effort and cost of (a) migrating to a new version of the application and/or (b) consolidating systems. The user can browse the extracted data and select configuration elements for re-use. After downloading the one or more configurations and comparing them, the user selects elements of the configurations for re-use. The first step is to scan one or more application systems and extract the configuration data using a surveyor. The method according to the invention automatically identifies configuration differences. The user then selects configuration elements for re-use. A graphic user interface (GUI) can be provided which allows the user to make these selections by dragging and dropping selected elements to a “To Be” configuration. The selected configurations are then uploaded and installed on an instance of the application.

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/007000

Abstract:

A method for allowing flexible creation and alteration of business processes within a commerce system includes using state machines to describe the actions that can be taken by particular roles at particular points in a process. The state machines are used by a commerce system to enforce validity of user actions, to track the execution of actions within an instance of the business process, to provide the user interface with a list of actions available to a user working on an instance of the business process, to provide coordination between state machines, and to allow different organizations to have varied business processes.

RE366560, Apr 11, 2000

Filed:

Sep 25, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/719496

Inventors:

Andrea Califano - New York NY
Rakesh Mohan - Stamford CT

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06K 948
G06K 946
G06K 936

US Classification:

382199

Abstract:

The invention provides automatic acquisition and recognition of complex visual shapes within images. During an acquisition phase, models are derived from interest points acquired from a target shape. The models are stored in and can be retrieved from a lookup table via high dimension indices. When an image is inputted, triplets of interest points in the image are used to compute local shape descriptors, which descrb the geometry of local shapes in the image. In turn, triplets of local shape descriptors are used to compute high dimension indices. These indices arm used for accessing the lookup table having the models The models are used for the automatic recognition of target shapes.
