Abstract: In one aspect, a system for detecting and classifying direct response advertisements includes an advertisement candidate segment generation unit for generating an advertisement candidate segment for an advertisement section detected from a broadcast stream, a matching unit for determining whether the advertisement candidate segment matches an advertisement segment stored in an advertisement database (DB), a direct response advertisement determination unit for determining whether the advertisement candidate segment is a direct response advertisement if it is determined by the matching unit that an advertisement segment matching the advertisement candidate segment is not present, and a direct response advertisement grouping unit for grouping the advertisement candidate segment with advertisement segments that are direct response advertisements stored in the advertisement DB.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for providing image-based video service, including a cache system configured to store video information that matches image-related data; a fingerprint extraction unit configured to extract the fingerprint of an image corresponding to input image-related data; and a matching unit configured to determine video information that matches the fingerprint of the image extracted by the fingerprint extraction unit; wherein the system for providing image-based video service determines video information, matching image-related data received from a client terminal, via the cache system or the matching unit, and transmits video result information corresponding to the determined video information to the client terminal, and a method using the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for surveying broadcast ratings.

Abstract: A system and method detects and classifies direct response advertisements. An advertisement candidate segment generation unit generates an advertisement candidate segment from a broadcast stream, and a matching unit matches the advertisement candidate segment with an advertisement segment stored in an advertisement database. A direct response advertisement determination unit determines whether the advertisement candidate segment is a direct response advertisement, and a direct response advertisement registration unit stores an advertisement candidate segment determined to be a direct response advertisement as an advertisement segment in the advertisement database. A direct response advertisement grouping unit groups the advertisement candidate segment with advertisement segments that are direct response advertisements stored in the advertisement database.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for detecting and classifying direct response advertisements, and provides a system for detecting and classifying direct response advertisements, including an advertisement candidate segment generation unit for generating an advertisement candidate segment for an advertisement section detected from a broadcast stream; a matching unit for determining whether the advertisement candidate segment matches each advertisement segment stored in an advertisement database (DB); a direct response advertisement determination unit for, if it is determined by the matching unit that an advertisement segment matching the advertisement candidate segment is not present, determining whether the advertisement candidate segment is a direct response advertisement; a direct response advertisement registration unit for storing the advertisement candidate segment, determined to be the direct response advertisement by the direct response advertisement determination unit, as an adver

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for generating video markup data on the basis of video fingerprint information, and to a method and system for providing information using same; and more particularly, to a method and system for conveniently and efficiently providing a variety of pieces of information, such as object-related advertising information, on the basis of video markup data which are generated in consideration of object information relating to objects in a video and of the fingerprint information of the video.

Abstract: A method of processing moving picture and an apparatus thereof are disclosed. A method of processing a moving picture comprising: calculating a color distribution vector for each of plural sub-frames which are generated by dividing a frame of the moving picture; generating a first order differential of the color distribution vector based on the color distribution vector; generating a second order differential of the color distribution vector based on the first order differential of the color distribution vector; and generating a feature vector of the frame based on the color distribution vector, the first order differential of the color distribution vector and the second order differential of the color distribution vector, is provided. The moving picture processing method can provide an efficient mean to determine commonality between moving pictures by extracting a feature from a frame of the moving pictures.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing moving image advertisements. There is provided a method and apparatus for providing moving image advertisements, comprising the steps of: receiving a search request from an advertiser's terminal; providing said advertiser's terminal with a moving image search list matching said search request; obtaining advertisement setup information from said advertiser's terminal for the first moving image which is included in said moving image list provided; setting up said first moving image advertisement which matches said obtained advertisement setup information; and setting up a second moving image advertisement which shares the same display area with said first moving image which matches said obtained advertisement setup information for said first moving image.

Abstract: A method of providing a moving picture search service and an apparatus therefor are disclosed. An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of providing a moving picture search service that includes: obtaining a search keyword from a client terminal; and providing as search results a moving picture cluster list displaying information about a moving picture cluster matching with the search keyword. The moving picture cluster includes a plurality of moving pictures determined to have identity, and the moving picture cluster list includes a cluster unit display area displaying information about the moving picture cluster differently from information about another moving picture cluster included in the moving picture cluster list. By providing moving picture search results related to a search keyword in groups of cluster units, users can understand the search results more easily.
