| Abstract: |
An apparatus and method of creating a digital library from audio data and video images. The method includes the steps of transcribing the audio data and marking the transcribed audio data with a first set of time-stamps and indexing the transcribed audio data. The method also includes the steps of digitizing the video data and marking the digitized video data with a second set of time-stamps related to the first set of time-stamps and segmenting the digitized video data into paragraphs according to a set of rules. The steps of storing the indexed audio data and the digitized video data with their respective sets of time-stamps is also provided. The method also includes the step of passing the transcribed audio data through a natural language interpreter before indexing the transcribed audio data. A method and apparatus for searching the digital library is disclosed.

What is claimed is:
1. A method of creating an independent digital library from existing audio data and video images comprising the steps of:
- transcribing said audio data and marking said transcribed audio data with a first set of time-stamps;
- indexing said transcribed audio data;
- digitizing said video data and marking said digitized video data with a second set of time-stamps related to said first set of time-stamps;
- segmenting said digitized video data into video paragraphs according to a set of rules based upon scene characterization of said video images and the processing of said audio data; and
- storing said indexed audio data and said segmented digitized video data with their respective sets of time-stamps to create the digital library which can be accessed through said indexed audio data without returning to the existing audio data and video images.
