Correlation Engine and Method for Granular Meta-Content Having Arbitrary Non-Uniform Granularity

摘要

One disclosed method includes receiving correlation instructions related to a plurality of meta-content elements that are associated with a primary content. The primary content may be multimedia content such as, but not limited to, an audiovisual content. The method includes performing a correlation in response to receiving the instructions. The correlation is between the meta-content elements, where the meta-content elements each have an arbitrary granularity defining meta-content segments. The method returns a result based on the correlation. Another disclosed method include receiving a request having correlation instructions related to a plurality of meta-content elements, where the meta-content elements are associated with a primary content. Again, each meta-content element has an arbitrary granularity defining meta-content segments. The method includes determining, in response to receiving the request, a composite of meta-content segments of the plurality of meta-content elements, based on the correlation instructions.
