A visual index method provides graphical output from search engine results or other URL lists. Search engine results or a list of URLs are passed to a web crawler that retrieves the web page and other media information present at the associated URL. The web crawler then passes this information to a page renderer which also receives image scale and format information regarding the web pages present at the URLs. The graphical information as well as other media information is then rendered into a reduced graphical form so that the page may be summarily reviewed by the user. Media, visual, or other information may also be downwardly scaled as appropriate or rendered in its original as appropriate (such as with audio data streams). A variety of convenient formats allows the user to quickly and readily scan the presentation at the URL web pages or other data present. Image maps associated with the reduced images may also provide hyperlink access to the linked web page and/or multimedia allowing the links present on the web page in its original to be accessed through the reduced image provided by the web page renderer.

An improved method of partitioning and indexing multi-dimensional data that maps the data to one-dimensional values according to the sequence in which an approximation of a Hilbert space-filling curve passes through all of the points corresponding to potential multi-dimensional data in a data space. Data is partitioned into pages, each corresponding to a length of Hilbert curve. A page identifier is the sequence of the first point on its corresponding Hilbert curve section. The mapping orders data and also orders the data pages that contain data within a database. Mapping multi-dimensional data to one-dimensional values enables the data to be indexed using any one-dimensional index structure. The practical application of the indexing method is made viable and useful by the provision of a querying algorithm enabling data to be selectively retrieved in response to queries wherein all or some of the data that lies within a rectangular space within multi-dimensional space is required to be retrieved. The querying algorithm identifies pages whose corresponding curve sections intersect with a query region. The first intersecting page is found by calculating the lowest one-dimensional value corresponding to a possible multi-dimensional data value or point within the query region, and looking up in the index to find which page may contain this point. The next intersecting page, if it exists, is found by calculating the lowest one-dimensional value equal to or greater than the identifier of the next page to the one just identified. This new lowest one-dimensional, if found, is used to look up in the index and find the next page intersecting with the query region. Subsequent pages to be found, if any, are determined in a similar manner until no more are found. Pages found to intersect the query region can be searched for data lying within the query region.

An indexing method for allowing a viewer to control the mode of delivery of program material. By mapping from time to data position, data delivery can begin at any selected time in the program material. The indexing method also provides for controlling data delivery to begin at the beginning of a frame of data. A synchronizing method is provided to minimize a time offset between audio and video data, particularly in environments using groups of pictures.

Events in a first data stream are correlated with events in a second data stream based on a method of indexing. As information of a first and second data stream are stored to a data file, the data streams are monitored for certain trigger events. An informational data set is generated and stored in an index file for each detected trigger event. Preferably, each informational data set includes the type of detected event, a time-stamp indicating when the event occurred and a data pointer indicating where the data associated with the event is stored in a corresponding data file. When time-stamps of detected trigger events in both data streams are generated based on a common system clock, data in one data stream is correlated with data in another data stream based on the time-stamps.

The present invention provides a new method for indexing a given text objects, using text parsing module and words indexing databases. According to this method each word is assigned a first index code according to words meaning, a second index code according to each word syntax category and a third index code according to word syntactical role. The words indices are arranged according to hierarchical order based on syntactical relations between the text words. At the last stage, differentiating symbols, which represent indices hierarchical order, are assigned between adjacent words indices. The indexing process may be implemented as automatic computerized program or as wizard application enabling human intervention in the indexing process. The indexing method can be utilized for enabling text search utilities based on matching between The query indices and source text indices.

Movement through multi-dimensional space is simulated using a series of panoramic images which are projected or displayed in sequence. The user's direction of view, that is the selected view window, is maintained as the series of images is projected or displayed. Motion in directions other than forward or reverse is simulated by utilizing "branch" points in the sequence. Each path from a branch point simulates motion in a different direction. Branch points are generally indicated to a viewer by visual indicators called "hot spots"; however, branch points may also be hidden and activated in response to the viewer's selected direction of view. If a branch point is indicated by a visual indicator, a user can select motion in a desired direction by clicking on a "hot spot". In order to conserve storage space, the image representing each panorama can be stored in a compressed format. Only the portion of the panorama necessary to create a "view window" that is, the portion of the image displayed in response to the user's direction of view, is decompressed at view time. An index methodology is used to store the panoramic images. Use of the indexing methodology allows the images to be retrieved in both the forward and backward direction to simulate movement in either direction. Sound is provided in a special format, so that special effects can be provided based on the user's point of view and dependent upon the direction of motion selected by the user.

In an indexation method, an average color or a statistical distribution of colors in an image is determined by providing a set of coordinates in a multidimensional color space (80). The set of coordinates of each color is reduced to a level of Hue if the color verifies a first condition, i.e. the color is considered a true color (81), and to a level of Brightness if the color verifies a second condition, i.e. the color is considered a gray color (82). Indexation data for indexing the image includes the level of Hue or Brightness resulting from each color. The indexation method is used in a search method for searching a collection of graphic elements. An input specifies a desired color. A corresponding search query pertains to a level of Hue or a level of Brightness if the desired color includes a true color, or a gray color respectively.

The present invention provides a ViST (or “virtual suffix tree”), which is a novel index structure for searching XML documents. By representing both XML documents and XML queries in structure-encoded sequences, it is shown that querying XML data is equivalent to finding (non-contiguous) subsequence matches. A variety of XML queries, including those with branches, or wild-cards (‘*’ and ‘//’), can be expressed by structure-encoded sequences. Unlike index methods that disassemble a query into multiple sub-queries, and then join the results of these sub-queries to provide the final answers, ViST uses tree structures as the basic unit of query to avoid expensive join operations. Furthermore, ViST provides a unified index on both content and structure of the XML documents, hence it has a performance advantage over methods indexing either just content or structure. ViST supports dynamic index update, and it relies solely on B⁺Trees without using any specialized data structures that are not well supported by common database management systems (hereinafter referred to as “DBMSs”).
