Video editing using contextual data may include collecting metadata from a sensor concurrently with recording a video, wherein the metadata is synchronized in time with the video, detecting attributes within the metadata and attributes from the video, and correlating the attributes with a plurality of editors. An editor may be selected from the plurality of editors according to the correlating and a video editing workflow may be automatically initiated. Content discovery using clusters may include receiving a user request for video content from a device, determining a behavioral cluster for the user according to demographic data for the user, determining a video of interest associated with the behavioral cluster, and providing a video of interest to the device using the processor.

Video editing using contextual data and content discovery using clusters

A method and apparatus for a secure and granular index for information is described herein. According to one embodiment of the invention a computer-implemented method is described including evaluating a user query against a set of documents having sub-document level security control, determining a security access for said user, and providing a result for the user query based on the security access for the user and the sub-document level security control.

Secure and granular index for information retrieval

An efficient information search mechanism provides control over the relaxation of a search query to users that are requesting searches. Through such a mechanism, a user can specify a sequence of sub-queries that is associated with variations of the main search criteria, and specify a progression in which to execute the sub-queries. Hence, users can impart their priorities with respect to search term variations used in relaxing the main search criteria, which further allows the users to impart their notion of the relevance of results that may be returned by particular sub-queries. A query that includes a sequence of sub-queries is received and the sub-queries are executed, if at all, by a database server in an order based on the progression specified by the user. Response time and network loading are improved through reduction of unnecessary work by the database server and through reduction of computationally costly communications between client and server and associated processing.

Progressive relaxation of search criteria

A database management system and method provides access to a data table having structured data and unstructured data. A user interface allows a user to issue instructions to the database management system such as to build an index based on the structured and unstructured data and to search the data table. An indexing logic generates an index structure by combining the structured and unstructured data. With this index structure, a single query can contain search conditions from both the structured data and the unstructured data. In this manner, efficiency for searching the data table for combined structured and unstructured conditions is improved.

Combined database index of unstructured and structured columns

The present invention is a method and apparatus for processing errors in a computer system. The present invention scans information, generates an error unit for each error detected, provides an intuitive interface for communication of errors, and facilitates correction of errors. A data processing computer system of the present invention provides a proofreading capability for addressing errors such as spelling, grammar, usage, punctuation, broken words, doubled words, and capitalization. An error unit is created for each error detected during the proofreading scan of a document. An error unit uniquely identifies each error detected. Further, an error unit retains other information about an error including the error type, location, length, and correction status. The error unit is used to create a list of errors, or Error List. The Error List provides the ability to view errors in one location, and facilitates the error correction and proofreading process. Errors can be addressed in any order. When an error is selected from the Error List, the tight integration between the error and the scanned document provides the ability to locate and highlight the error within the scanned document. A Proofreading Screen provides additional information and proofreading functions. The error selections, and/or all occurrences of an error selection, can be corrected, ignored, learned, or autocorrected. The present invention provides the ability to group errors. Thus, a more intuitive interface is provided to facilitate the proofreading exercise. Further, operator interaction is minimized and simplified.
