Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03044624A2] Metadata for a programming event may be generated by receiving descriptive information and timing information for the programming event and analyzing this information to determine category goodness of fit scores for the programming event corresponding to categories of a classification hierarchy. The information is further analyzed to determine keywords associated with the programming event. The category goodness of fit scores and keywords may be stored along with time data and descriptive data for the programming event as metadata for the programming event. Goodness of fit scores may also be generated for the keywords. Metadata may be generated for individual segments within a program, each of which is treated as a separate programming event. The metadata may be used to determine programming events of interest for recording or for generating alert banners. Timing data for synchronizing the recording device to the programming event may be provided in a closed caption data stream.
