    Abstract: The invention relates to content-based audio/musing retrieval and other content-based multimedia information retrieval. In one aspect the present invention provides a method of representing audio/musical information in a digital representation suitable for use in content-based information indexing and retrieval including the steps of: determining a first representation including a set of peaks and valley corresponding to maximum and minimum values respectively of at least one characteristic of the audio/music, and; determining a second representation including values representing relative differences between peaks and valleys. The invention presents a method and a system for content-based music retrieval. A musing score database is constructed to provide a unique representation of real music songs. Score keywords are extracted from the music score as the features of the musing songs. This invention also provides a method to automatically convert the queries inputted by humming into query keywords. The extracted query keywords will be matched with the existing score keywords in the music score database to retrieve the relevant music songs. Since there is an exact correspondence between the music scores and actual music songs, the retrieval accuracy will be greatly improved compared with other low-level feature based music retrieval methods.

    Abstract: There is provided a method for automatically creating a music video thumbnail (50) from a music video signal (12). The music video signal is separated into a music signal (16) and a video signal (18). The music signal is analysed by detecting similarity regions and the sections of the music signal corresponding to the chorus are extracted (20). The video signal is analysed by detecting repeated lyrics (34). The extracted chorus sections from the music signal and the sections of the video signal containing repeated lyrics are then matched. A matched pair is then selected for use in the music video thumbnail and the timing of the pair are aligned (42) to form the thumbnail.

    Abstract: An embodiment is related to automatic summarization for digital audio raw data (12), more specifically, for identifying pure music and vocal music (40,60) from digital audio data by extracting distinctive features from music frames (73,74,75,76), designing a classifier and determining the classification parameters (20) using adaptive learning/training algorithm (36), and identifying music into pure music or vocal music according to the classifier. For pure music, temporal, spectral and cepstral features are calculated to characterise the musical content, and an adaptive clustering method is used to structure the musical content according to calculated features. The summary (22,24,26,48,52,70,72) is created according to clustered result and domain-based music knowledge (50,150). For vocal music, voice related features are extracted and used to structure the musical content, and similarly, the music summary is created in terms of structured content and heuristic rules related to music genres.

    Abstract: The present invention presents a method and system for controlling usage and protecting against copying of digital multimedia content (such as audio, video, image, and document) and their associated players or readers. The system is arranged so that digital content and their players or readers that are installed in one computer or device cannot be used if they are copied to another computer or device. The system may also be arranged so that duplicated digital content is not usable in the same computer or device. Usage data associated with each item of digital content may restrict the running time during which the content can be used and may be updated automatically after each usage of the content. The content may not be accessible if its permitted usage has expired.
