The need for the efficient handling of digital multimedia contents has increased tremendously as both home and mobile CE (Consumer Electronics) devices are equipped with large embedded storage such as hard disks or flash memories and are capable of handling enormous amounts of multimedia data. This paper presents Mint, an efficient multimedia contents management system for CE devices. It provides novel intuitive browsing and search interfaces by arranging multimedia data for various metadata. The system consists of the metadata extractors and the metadata core that are applicable to diverse hardware platforms and operating systems. Being applied to several CE devices has proved the usefulness of the system, especially for such devices as the digital TVs, set-top boxes and mobile phones.
