Abstract

This paper clarifies the importance of content oriented visual user interfaces using video icons for visual database systems. Effectiveness of both still and live video images, especially for user's browsing and interaction, is shown by usage of the 'MediaBENCH' (hyperMedia Basic ENvironment for Computer and Human interactions) which is a basic prototype multimedia database system. Various methods of handling video data on the MediaBENCH are introduced and discussed to show how video data can be manipulated on visual database systems which deal with spatial and temporal factors. A visual interface using video icons is quite suitable to video editing systems, video mail systems, or other electronic video document systems. Brief application profiles are shown for guidance.
