A system and method for generating personalized multimedia content element clusters. The method includes determining, based on at least one interest, at least one personalized concept, wherein each personalized concept represents one of the at least one user interest; obtaining at least one multimedia content element related to a user; generating at least one signature for the at least one multimedia content element, each generated signature representing at least a portion of the at least one multimedia content element; determining, based on the generated at least one signature, at least one multimedia content element cluster, wherein each cluster includes a plurality of multimedia content elements sharing a common concept of the at least one personalized concept; and creating at least one personalized multimedia content element cluster by adding, to each determined cluster, at least one of the at least one multimedia content element sharing the common concept of the cluster.

Systems and methods for managing data, such as metadata. In one exemplary method, metadata from files created by several different software applications are captured, and the captured metadata is searched. The type of information in metadata for one type of file differs from the type of information in metadata for another type of file. Other methods are described and data processing systems and machine readable media are also described.

A system and method for determining a precise location based on multimedia content. The method includes: analyzing a multimedia content element (MMCE), wherein the analysis further includes generating at least one signature to the MMCE; matching the generated at least one signature to at least one reference concept stored in a database, wherein each of the at least one stored concept is associated with a predetermined precise location; and identifying, based on the matching, a precise location depicted in the MMCE.

A system and method for identifying advertisements for display in a multimedia content element. The method includes: partitioning the multimedia content element into a predefined number of portions; generating at least one signature for each portion of the multimedia content element; analyzing the at least one signature generated for each portion of the multimedia content element; identifying at least one attractive advertising area within the multimedia content element based on the signature analysis; and identifying at least one matching advertisement for the multimedia content element based on the generated at least one signature, wherein the at least one matching advertisement fits within the identified at least one attractive advertising area.

A method and system for caching concept structures in a cache memory of a user computing device are provided. The method includes collecting at least one environmental variable related to a user of the computing device; retrieving at least one concept structure matching the at least one received environmental variable, each concept structure comprises a concept metadata associated with a plurality of multimedia content elements; and caching the at least one matching concept structure in the cache memory.

A computer-implemented method of interacting with at least one data item includes storing, in a database system, a configuration, of each of the data items as a distinct information object, in which each information object has an association with a picture, a heading, and a link to the corresponding data item. The method additionally uses the stored configurations to make available for display a representation of each of at least two of the information objects in a uniform format, wherein the format includes a card, and, within the card, the picture, the heading, a set of indicators, the set of indicators having at least one member, and a function mechanism giving graphical access to a set of functions.

Embodiments of the disclosed innovations provide systems and methods for locating data associated with rendered documents. Some embodiments support the use of a handheld document data capture device.

A system and method for enriching a concept database. The method includes determining, based on signatures of a first multimedia content element (MMCE) and signatures of a plurality of existing concepts in the concept database, at least one first concept, wherein each first concept is one of the plurality of existing concepts matching a portion of the first MMCE; generating a reduced representation of the first MMCE, wherein the generation of the reduced representation includes removing the at least one portion of the first MMCE matching the determined at least one first concept; comparing the reduced representation to signatures representing a plurality of second MMCEs to determine a plurality of matching second MMCEs; generating, based on the reduced representation and the plurality of matching second MMCEs, at least one second concept; and adding the generated at least one second concept to the concept database.

A system and method for generating a facial representation. The method includes identifying, via at least one data source, at least one multimedia content element; generating at least one signature for at least a portion of each identified multimedia content element, wherein each generated signature represents at least one facial concept; analyzing the generated signatures to determine a cluster of signatures of facial concepts; and generating, based on the cluster of facial concept signatures, a facial representation.

A computing system is configured to access a plurality of remote databases in order to identify data inconsistencies between the remote databases and provide user interfaces to a user in order to initiate communication via one or more APIs to certain remote databases indicating updates that reconcile said data inconsistencies.
