Claim Text:
1. A system for processing a video signal into a processed video signal, the video signal including an image sequence, the system comprising: a video codec that generates the processed video signal and that further generates coding feedback data, wherein the coding feedback data includes shot transition data generated as a byproduct of an encoding of the video signal based on picture variance and motion cost data generated as part of the encoding and wherein the shot transition data identifies temporal segments in the image sequence corresponding to a plurality of shots that each include a plurality of images in the image sequence, and wherein the video codec generates the shot transition data based on a first criteria of the picture variance and motion cost data to detect an abrupt shot transition and based on a second criteria of the picture variance and motion cost data to detect a gradual shot transition; and a pattern recognition module, coupled to the video codec, that generates index data corresponding to at least one of the plurality of shots, wherein the index data includes pattern recognition data having a text string that identifies a recognized pattern and an identification of the at least one of the plurality of shots.
