An apparatus and method facilitate combined query based searching with serendipitous browsing in a multimedia collection. A user selects objects to label from a local map, which may include representations of objects retrieved from the collection as being responsive to a text or image base query.

A method of providing an aliased telephone number provided. A user may request an alternate telephone number to protect his privacy when making calls. When the user transmits a call, a service provider detects that the call should be linked with an aliased telephone number. The provider may then substitute the aliased number for the originating number such that the recipient sees the aliased number on a caller identification module. Likewise, where someone sends a call to an aliased number, the service provider may cross reference the aliased number with an actual telephone number and either augment data information associated with the call with the actual number, or replace the aliased number with the actual number. The aliased number may be time sensitive and may have an expiration date. The system and method allow users to obtain telephone numbers for time-limited events.

A three-dimensional terrain-information generating system extracts a road region from altitude information arranged on a two-dimensional plane and adjusts the position and scale by matching the road region with a building/road map. Altitude information of a road region with a width that is greater than or equal to a preset width is obtained from the building/road map, and the obtained altitude information is arranged in a three-dimensional space. Ribbon forms that may intersect one another at a plurality of points are generated. Altitude information of a region such as a park that is almost free from the effects of a building on the three-dimensional terrain is obtained from the building/road map. Subsequently, a surface including such altitude information is created, thereby generating three-dimensional terrain data.
