1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to the field of accessing and processing digital video on a network such as the Internet. More particularly, the invention relates to providing media content owners the capability to deliver media content to end users as an interactive experience.
2. Description of the Related Technology
A number of techniques have evolved in recent years as the Internet has grown in size and sophistication, including:
The use of web servers and HTML delivery to web browsers.
The use of the application-server model for connecting database information with web pages and interactive interfaces for end users.
The use of dynamically generated HTML that pulls information from a database to dynamically format HTML for delivery to the end user.
The use of a template language to merge database output with pre-formatted HTML presentations.
The use of 'cookies' to track individual user preferences as they interact with the web pages and applications.
These and other related web technologies and techniques are in commonplace use and readily accessible on the Internet.
In addition to the technologies described above, video indexing technology has also emerged, herein referred to as 'video logging'. Video logging is a process that incorporates both automated indexing and manual annotation facilities to create a rich, fine-grained (in a temporal sense) index into a body of video content. The index typically consists of a combination of visual and textual indices that permit time-based searching of video content. The index may incorporate spoken text, speaker identifications, facial identifications, on-screen text, and additional annotations, keywords, and descriptions that may be applied by a human user executing the video logging application. The Virage VideoLogger is one example of this type of video logging technology that is commercially available.
The delivery of streaming media on the Internet requires the encoding of video content into one or more streaming video formats and efficient delivery of that content to the end users. Common streaming formats presently in use include RealVideo, Microsoft Windows Media, QuickTime, and MPEG. The video logging technology may coordinate the encoding of one or more of these formats while the video is being indexed to ensure that the video index is time-synchronized with the encoded content. The final delivery of media content to an end user is typically accomplished with a wide variety of video serving mechanisms and infrastructure. These mechanisms may include basic video servers (such as those from Real, Microsoft, and Apple), caching appliances (such as those from CacheFlow, Network Appliance, Inktomi, and Cicso), and content delivery networks (herein "CDN's", such as those from Akamai, Digital Island, iBeam, and Adero). These types of video serving mechanisms deliver media content to the end user.
Media content owners often wish to offer their content on the Internet for a variety of purposes, including commerce, community building, and to generate revenue through advertising and syndication mechanisms. The delivery of interactive, searchable, and personalized video content (for example video, Flash™, Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language or SMIL, and similar formats, herein collectively referred to as 'video') on the Internet is a difficult task to accomplish for a majority of content owners. It would require significant time and monetary investments in technical infrastructure as well as the expertise of Information Technology ("IT") professionals within the content owner's organization to achieve the desired business goals.
Among the important business criteria for success in this area is that the content owner retains total control over their content. It is beneficial for the content owners to have control over the presentation, delivery, access controls, and editorial-indexing aspects of their content at all times. Therefore, what is needed in the technology is a system whereby a service provider can offer a hosted application and associated services for encoding and indexing video media that achieves the content owner's business goals without requiring the existence of technical infrastructure and expertise within the content owner's own organization.
By using dynamically generated HTML and branded, embedded video player windows, the hosted interactive video application service can deliver the content owner's content to the end users in a seamless fashion, such that the end user does not perceive that they have ever 'left' the content owner's website. These features greatly enhance the content owner's purposes related to website commerce, community building, and generation of revenue through advertising and syndication mechanisms. All of these beneficial criteria are realized by the video application hosting techniques disclosed in the present invention.
In one embodiment, the invention provides a system for hosting of video content over a network, comprising a content owner facility, comprising a content owner network server, and a service facility comprising a video encoding module configured to receive the video content, a video logging module configured to receive the video content and generate an index of the video content, a video application server module configured to receive the index of the video content, and a service facility network server configured to receive the index of the video content and produce electronic templates for use by the content owner network server. The system further comprises a content distribution network configured to receive encoded video from the video encoding module and provide encoded video to a user.
In another embodiment, the invention provides a system for delivering media content services over a network, comprising media content to which a content owner has rights, a content owner facility comprising a content owner network server, and a service facility comprising a video processing module configured to extract metadata from the media content and encode the media content and a hosted video application module configured to provide video elements for display on the content owner facility network site. The system further comprises a content distribution network providing media content to a user.
In another embodiment, the invention provides a method for hosting of video content over a network, comprising providing video content for video processing, encoding the video content, indexing the video content to generate a video index, providing video elements for incorporation in a content owner network site, and delivering the encoded video to a user via a network.
The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the invention will be better understood by referring to the following detailed description, which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These drawings and the associated description are provided to illustrate various embodiments of the invention, and not to limit the scope of the invention.
The following detailed description of certain embodiments presents various descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be embodied in a multitude of different ways as defined and covered by the claims. In this description, reference is made to the drawings wherein like parts are designated with like numerals throughout.
The following provides a number of useful possible definitions of terms used in describing certain embodiments of the disclosed invention.
A network may refer to a network or combination of networks spanning any geographical area, such as a local area network, wide area network, regional network, national network, and/or global network. The Internet is an example of a current global computer network. Those terms may refer to hardwire networks, wireless networks, or a combination of hardwire and wireless networks. Hardwire networks may include, for example, fiber optic lines, cable lines, ISDN lines, copper lines, etc. Wireless networks may include, for example, cellular systems, personal communications service (PCS) systems, satellite communication systems, packet radio systems, and mobile broadband systems.

Certain Innovative Aspects
One embodiment of the present system and method includes techniques whereby indexing, encoding, publishing, and searching of video is provided as a service to content owners on the Internet. A search application allows the user interface to be customized and injected into the content-owner's website using dynamic HTML and template-based presentation mechanisms. In this way, the video content and search/retrieval interface appears to be a seamless part of the content owner's website. The content owner may thereby integrate easily publishable and searchable video with opportunities to tie advertising and e-commerce transactions to the video content, thereby enhancing the value of their website. In addition, by allowing the user access to the video services described herein without having to leave the content owner's website, the time on the website is increased, also enhancing the website's value.
The content owner may provide content to the service facility for processing via many media sources, including, but not limited to, tape, cable, satellite, or digital files. The content may be encoded or transcoded into various video formats, for example, Real, Windows Media, or QuickTime, and indexed. Indexing may be performed using a video logging application, such as the Virage VideoLogger, that analyzes the video signal to extract metadata. Metadata is not the video data itself, but instead is data that is derived by processing performed on the video, audio, or closed caption inputs using advanced media analysis algorithms. Human operators may add additional editorial information through a process commonly referred to as 'clip marking'. The result is an index of the visual, audio, and textual elements of the video content, synchronized with the corresponding streaming video.
In one embodiment, the video index is loaded into a video index database by a video application server, where it becomes part of a database of video content. The encoded video is similarly loaded onto a video server, where the video application injects interactive video elements into the content owner's website through the use of templates and web page component URLs. Interactive video elements typically include the simple clip publishing elements, search forms, results pages, video player windows, or other potential features, for example a 'favorites' window or personalization capabilities. The final web page that an end user sees may therefore be a composite of graphical and text elements being served by various servers, and may include the content owner's web server. This interaction of various servers is not noticeable to an end user. The video search application hosting is therefore nearly indiscernible to the end user, appearing to be part of the content owner's website.
In one embodiment, the interactive video becomes part of the content owner's website, not a separate web destination. This enhances website value in the form of branding, community building, and e-commerce within the content owner's site. The content owner does not incur the significant costs of developing information technology infrastructure or building in-house video processing expertise. Instead, they are able to purchase this capability as a service at a lower cost and in a shorter amount of time. Additionally, the content owner is able to retain complete control over the presentation, delivery, and access to their content, paramount for the ultimate business success of such an endeavor. Content owners are typically highly reluctant to delegate any of this type of control to a third party. One innovative aspect of the present system and method is therefore the ability to provide remote, web-based interfaces that allow content owners to access and modify the template mechanism for the presentation of their content, and the ability to define guidelines and remotely edit the video index metadata according to their own editorial policies.
In certain embodiments, the interactive video application hosting aspect of the present system and method is delivered via a persistent application server (herein referred to as the Video Application Server, or "VAS"). The VAS may share many common features with standard web-based application servers, namely, interfacing with an off-the-shelf web server, for example Apache, Netscape, or Microsoft Internet Information Server, and providing application logic that delivers the desired experience and end-user interface through a standard HTML web browser.
One innovative aspect of the VAS as it relates to the present system and method is the ability to interface with video logging applications to receive and process video metadata and manage a video index on behalf of the content owner. A single VAS server can organize, manage, and administer multiple video indices for multiple content owners using a multi-level 'account' and 'view' structure, which separates the actual content from the presentation of that content. This innovation of separation and account management enables the hosting of the video application for multiple content owners from a single network operating facility, and enhances the overall scalability of the hosted-application framework and delivery model. Separation of content and presentation is also a desirable aspect for syndication business models that allow the same content to be delivered through a wide variety of user interfaces, each one specific to a given website and containing unique layout, advertising, commerce, and personalization capabilities.
Another innovative aspect of this embodiment of the VAS is its ability to publish, search, and provide an interactive video experience for the end user through the use of a specialized template language that is designed specifically for the needs of web-based video. While template languages have been widely used for dynamic HTML presentation, the VAS template language contains novel capabilities that specifically allow video content to be published, searched, and rendered in a manner that is customized for a particular site or use of the content. This includes, but is not limited to, advertising opportunities, integration with traditional web content presentations, e-commerce features tied directly to the video content, and personalization of video content. As an example, an end user who is a Chicago Bulls fan may be presented with Bulls video highlights, along with advertising for an upcoming game and an opportunity to purchase a team poster. These capabilities emerge from the combined mechanisms of a rich video index, content-based targeting of advertising and commerce, and traditional web-based delivery and streaming techniques.
The server computers 108, 110, and the user device 115 may each have any conventional general purpose single- or multi-chip microprocessor, for example a Pentium processor, a Pentium Pro processor, a MIPS processor, a Power PC processor, an ALPHA processor, or other general purpose processors. In addition, the microprocessor may be any conventional special purpose microprocessor such as a digital signal processor or a graphics processor. Additionally, the server computers 108, 110 and the user device 115 may be desktop, server, portable, hand-held, set-top, or other desired type of computing device. Furthermore, the server computers 108, 110 and the user device 115 each may be used in connection with various operating systems, including, for example, UNIX, LINUX, Disk Operating System (DOS), VxWorks, PalmOS, OS/2, Mac OS, a version of Microsoft Windows, or other operating system.
The server computers 108, 110 and the user device 115 may each include a network terminal equipped with a video display, keyboard and pointing device. In one embodiment of the network configuration 100, the user device 115 includes a network browser 120 used to access the server computers 108, 110. The network browser 120 may be, for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The user 102 at the user device 115 may utilize the browser 120 to remotely access the server program using a keyboard and/or pointing device and a visual display, such as a monitor 118. Although
The network 116 may be any type of electronic transmission medium, for example, including but not limited to the following networks: a virtual private network, a public Internet, a private Internet, a secure Internet, a private network, a public network, a value-added network, an intranet, or a wireless gateway. The term "virtual private network" refers to a secure and encrypted communications link between nodes on the Internet, a Wide Area Network (WAN), Intranet, or any other network transmission means.
In addition, the connectivity to the network 116 may be via, for example, a modem, Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), Token Ring (IEEE 802.5), Fiber Distributed Datalink Interface (FDDI), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), or other form of network connectivity. The user device 115 may connect to the network 116 by use of a modem or by use of a network interface card that resides in the user device 115. The server computers 108 may be connected via a wide area network 106 to a network gateway 104, which provides access to the wide area network 106 via a high-speed, dedicated data circuit.
As would be understood by one skilled in the technology, devices other than the hardware configurations described above may be used to communicate with the server computers 108, 110. If the server computers 108, 110 are equipped with voice recognition or Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) hardware, the user 102 may communicate with the server computers by use of a telephone 124. The telephone may optionally be equipped with a browser 120 and display screen. Other examples of connection devices for communicating with the server computers 108, 110 include a portable personal computer (PC) 126 or a personal digital assistant (PDA) device with a modem or wireless connection interface, a cable interface device 128 connected to a visual display 130, or a satellite dish 132 connected to a satellite receiver 134 and a television 136. Still other methods of allowing communication between the user 102 and the server computers 108, 110 are additionally contemplated by this application.
Additionally, the server computers 108, 110 and the user device 115 may be located in different rooms, buildings or complexes. Moreover, the server computers 108, 110 and the user device 115 could be located in different geographical locations, for example in different cities, states or countries. This geographic flexibility which networked communications allows is additionally within the contemplation of this application.
The system architecture 200 additionally includes a content owner facility 220. The content owner facility 220 may include media content 224 for transferring to the video processing module 214 as shown in
The following paragraphs provide a description of the operation of an embodiment of the system architecture 200 of
In one embodiment, content 224 that is originally in analog form is encoded into a digital format in such a way that the time synchronization between the metadata and the encoded video is accurate, as is described in U.S. application Ser. No. 09/134,497, filed Aug. 14, 1998 and titled "VIDEO CATALOGER SYSTEM WITH SYNCHRONIZED ENCODERS," which is hereby incorporated by reference. Content 224 that is originally in digital form, typically a high-resolution format, is transcoded into an appropriate format for delivery. Typically, video content 224 is encoded in multiple formats (for example RealVideo, Microsoft Windows Media, Quicktime, or MPEG) and bit rates (for example modem speed or broadband speed) to offer end users 102 a choice, often depending on individual preferences or Internet connection bandwidth. The resulting digital video files from either encoding or transcoding are uploaded to the content distribution network 240, which delivers the actual encoded video for display to the end user 102. Once the end user 102 selects an actual segment of video content 224 to view, the appropriate video is transferred from the content distribution network 240 to the end user's browser for display via the Internet 116.
In one embodiment, the content owner facility 220 includes the media content 224 as described above. The content owner facility 220 additionally includes a server administration module 326 communicating with the service facility web server 314. The content owner facility 220 further includes the content owner web server 228, which accesses web pages 332 and a search form 334 via the Internet 116. Each web page 332 may depict a plurality of pages rendered by various web servers. The search form 334 allows user selection of arbitrary search criteria of video content on the content owner website, and the search criteria are communicated to the service facility web server 314. Further provided via the Internet 116 are results data 338, which are generated by the service facility web server 314. Also accessible via the Internet 116 is a video player 336, which receives encoded video from the content distribution network 240.
The following paragraphs provide a description of the operation of one embodiment of the architecture 300 shown in
In a further embodiment, regardless of its original form, the content 224 is processed by the video logging module 306 to extract index data, for example keyframes, closed-caption text, speaker identifications, facial identifications, or other index data. The content 224 may additionally undergo processing by the video editorial module 308, whereby humans may elect to label the content 224 by providing annotations, descriptions, keywords, or other labeling or marking information. The index and annotation information is transferred to the video application server 312, which hosts publishing, search, retrieve, browse, or other related video services. The video application server 312 may maintain the metadata in the video index 316. The video application server 312 provides the above-described video services to the content owner web server 228 for incorporation in the content owner's web pages 332 via the template mechanism described above.
The architecture 400 additionally includes an administration editing module 430, which generates and manages display pages 318, typically web pages, for server administration, metadata editing, template manipulation, and batch processing. Batch processing may be accomplished for insertion processes, deletion or 'aging' processes, metadata editing, or for automated performance of other tasks as well. The administration editing module 430 communicates with the video application server 312 and web server 314, and updates various template 424 configurations. The administration editing module 430 further allows system administrators to manage the video application server 312, including, for example, index management, asset management, editing, and startup and shutdown control. The architecture 400 additionally includes a search results rendering module 420, which communicates with the video application server 312 and the web server 314, as well as receiving template 424 configurations for dynamically-generating search results data 338.
At the completion of either the analog processing at block 530 or the digital processing at block 540, process 500 advances to a video editorial stage 550, which provides content owners the capability to direct or perform editorial functions on the processed video. At this stage 550, the content owner at the content owner facility 220 may provide guidelines to further annotate, describe, and clip mark the video by accessing and augmenting the baseline video index. Such annotation may by added by an automated tool such as the video logging module 306, a human operator using an editorial tool such as a metadata editor software module, or other annotation mechanism. The guidelines provided will typically vary among different content owners, but may include, for example, assigning keywords from a controlled vocabulary, creating clip summaries, providing categories or classifications from a list provided by the content owner, or any number of other marks or text that might be added. An upload metadata stage 560 uploads video indexes in final form via a network connection to the video application server 312 for access by end users 102. In a further embodiment, the application server 312 is located in a hosting facility providing robust and redundant power and network connections to the Internet 116. At block 570, an upload digital files to CDN stage uploads digital video files to the content distribution network 240 for efficient access by end users 102.
In the case where the user 102 is navigating on the website to published video, at block 640 the video is manifested by displaying any of the video metadata available about that piece of video, for example, keyframes, transcript, title, description, or other metadata. Advancing to block 646, the end user 102 accesses published video by selecting the desired video metadata displayed at block 640.
In the alternate case where the end user 102 accesses a page containing a search form 334, at block 650 the search interface is served by the video application server 312, and other page elements are served as described below. Continuing at block 652, the user 102 may then issue a query to search for video by typing in keywords to the search form 334, or by selecting options from pull-down menus or category selections. At block 654, the query is issued to the application server 312, which processes the query to identify video clips that match the query. The end user 102 is presented with the query results 338 on a portion of a new web page 332 (as will be shown in
At block 656, the user 102 may select to access a specific video by selecting a desired HTML link in the search results web page 332. At block 660, the accessed video information is served by the video application server 312 using dynamic HTML injection into the web page 332. All other elements forming the web page 332 are served by the content owner's own web server 228, or other sources such as ad servers or caching edge-network servers. The resulting web pages 332 seen by the end user 102 are complete HTML web pages containing information from all of these sources, and in particular, the video metadata elements that describe the published video and which provide links to actually access the video.
The end user 102 ultimately makes a video clip selection, whether published video or video search results, that they wish to actually view. Video clip selection may be invoked in a number of ways, for example clicking on a keyframe, a title, or part of a transcript, as will be shown in reference to
As described herein, the invention fills the longstanding need in the technology of a system whereby a service provider can offer a hosted application and associated services for encoding and indexing video media that achieve the content owner's business goals without requiring the existence of technical infrastructure and expertise within the content owner's own organization. While the above detailed description has shown, described, and pointed out novel features of the invention as applied to various embodiments, it will be understood that various omissions, substitutions, and changes in the form and details of the device or process illustrated may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. The scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

text: I have a website i made for gaming but it is in php nuke. see it here www.saintsofwar.com but i can not find any lawn or landscape templates in php nuke. I am not familiar with any other types of websites but php nuke. I found a free template off this site and am pretty sure i can tweak it to my likeing. Also have a little knowledge with photoshop. I also have a host, it will be the same one i am useing for site above and will cost me about 80.00 a year. So my question is, how different is the templates from php nuke and where do i start? I mean with php nuke, everything has to go in a specific place for it to work correctly, but the template comes in 1 package with no individual folders, do i just upload them all into a common place for them to work?

Text hover – can only get use of first line
Want to put the following in the Text Hover box in following order
Azra => Owner of Tetida, an estate agency based in Porec: she sold us our house in Matulini, our rental property in Brnobici and helped us buy our land in Ciritez.
P => Phil my partner in crime, we met at university in the middle ages.
Baggy => One of my two cats.
(as it looks on the help screen)
Can only get it to go in a single line. How do I get the hard returns to put one thing beneath another. The hovers work as they are, but I have a lot more to put in and would like to use the plug-in properly.
Thanks for any help, Nicky

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Where is the fuse box in the trunk area? on 2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK320
I can't find it? Is there somewhere else the fuse for high beams would be located?
| |
There is a fuse box in the engine compartment and in the passenger side of the trunk. The owner's manual should identify the fuses. Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info .There is a company that independent auto repair shops "buy" their information from that offer a very reasonable service to do it yourselvers. You get a one year subscription to year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... great quality information same as the professionals have ,much better than generic workshop manuals from parts stores, much cheaper than the factory manual. http://bit.ly/alldata_repair_manuals or try http://bit.ly/mitchell_repair_manuals_online and get an online repair manual subscription.
My driver set will not rise back to a up right position.
There is no fuse box on the trunk area, the only two fuse boxes area locates, one on the engine compartment and the other on the left hand side of the driver, but have to open the door to acces it. Dont fall for this
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Lux 11
The property was built in the end of the 19th century as a residential building for officers before it became a military hospital during the First World War. The house also survived the Second World War and was occupied by the Russian secret service from then on. The KGB operated a telephone surveillance station to monitor the phone conversations between East and West Berliners. Some weeks after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the agents left the building overnight, their job was over. From 1990, the neighbourhood became a booming district for arts, underground clubs and galleries, and so the house was a place of subculture and parties for over a decade. In 2005, after two years of refurbishment, Lux 11 opened as a boarding house.
It became the favourite of Berlin's creative scene immediately and is now the most popular designer residence in Berlin, being first choice for DJs, musicians and celebrities.
Lux 11 is a luxury apartment house in Berlin that offers 72 spacious open-plan apartments and suites, ranging in size from 25 – 55 m², featuring a fully equipped kitchenette, creating a truly cosy and at-home feel. All four-star comforts, such as 24-hour reception and room service, are available.
Lux 11, named after its location on Rosa-Luxemburg-Str. also houses a concept store and milk bar Type Hype, the restaurant Prince and the fashion store Anine Bing.

Bergen Cable Technology can offer a variety of cable constructions ranging from one by seven (one strand with seven wires), to seven by 19 (7 strands with 19 wires per strand). Cables designed with more wires per strand offer increased flexibility.
Both jacketed and non-jacketed cables are available in materials such as stainless steel and galvanized carbon steel. The company can offer aircraft control cable built to military standards. It offers high fatigue resistance. Also available is non-rotating cable, which is often used for cargo handling winches and rescue hoists.
Both commercial and military specification fittings are available. Commercial fittings are typically made from zinc-plated carbon steel or stainless steel. Some of the various types include eye, plain ball, plug, threaded end and sleeve.
Application assistance
Some things to keep in mind when selecting a cable assembly include the requirements for strength, safety factors, fatigue and resistance to abrasion. The experts at Bergen Cable Technology can help determine the best options for cable assemblies to meet the needs of your application.

Topic: 29 Palms - Touch The Sky (Mango Remix)
Fans of the 2002 Ibiza anthem "Touch The Sky" (29 Palms) will rejoice with just a quick listen of Mango's jubilant remake. Silk's most prolific artist has retained the sun-drenched radiance of the original mix, with its classic lead synth and piano melodies, while giving the overall track a huge facelift in the modern progressive style. Added samples and pads enhance the beachside vibe of the original, as well as a euphoric new arms-in-the-air breakdown. This free offering from Silk is the next best thing to an early morning stroll on the shores of the Mediterranean.
