在本文中，我们报告的制定和案例研究的条件，基于内容的检索在数字图书馆，特别是在图像图书馆的专利申请过程。发明人和从业者要求将用于将这些过程授予专利的条件制定为计算机相关程序，以组合先前公开的手段，并且还包括用于参数设置以执行某些功能的手段。基于内容的检索通过对提取的图像特征进行索引和分类来实现检索功能。用于基于内容的检索的过程通常由先前公开的手段的组合组成。该过程还包括用于参数设置的装置，所述参数设置被调整以在某个窄域处检索特定种类的图像。我们从技术进步（非显而易见性）和规范（使能性）的实际观点出发，制定了关于在组合先前公开的手段和/或包括用于参数设置的手段中执行基于内容的检索的过程的可专利性条件。
In this paper, we report formulation and case study of the conditions for patenting processes of content-based retrieval in digital libraries, especially in image libraries. Inventors and practitioners demand formulation of the conditions for patenting the processes as computer-related programs in combining prior disclosed means, and also in comprising the means for parameter settings to perform certain functions. Content-based retrieval indexes the extracted features of images and classifies the indexes to perform its retrieval function. A process for content-based retrieval often consists of a combination of prior disclosed means. That process also comprises the means for parameter settings that are adjusted to retrieve a specific kind of image at a certain narrow domain. We formulate the conditions of patentability on processes for performing content-based retrieval in combining the prior disclosed means and/or comprising the means for parameter settings from the practical standpoints of technical advancement (nonobviousness) and specification (enablement).
