Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are provided that coordinate the operation of multiple search engines through portions of a multimedia object based on the anticipated accuracy of each search engine. One feature of the present invention provides a content management system that efficiently archives and retrieves multimedia content, for example, based on a confidence level or index. As multimedia content is generated, it is analyzed and cataloged into a set of indexes based on the analysis and confidence level of the analysis. The multimedia content is then stored into one or more databases. When one or more items are requested by a query, the query is analyzed and broken down into components or subqueries. These components or subqueries can then be routed to one or more appropriate search engine as a function of the confidence index. The results from the search engines are then gathered and compiled for presentation to a user.
