METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING SEARCH RESULTS
Abstract:
A method, a device and a system for providing a search result in response to a user request. The method includes the steps of entering one or more keywords to a search engine. The search engine may be an Internet search engine or a local search facility to search on a local hard disc. At least one information link is received in response to the search, e.g. a website homepage or a directory on a hard disc. The method includes scanning through documents arranged in connection with the information link in order to find documents that are relevant with respect to the user request. The documents arranged in connection with the information link may be scanned through using a width-before-depth or depth-before-width strategy or a combination thereof. A path is generated through the documents that are found relevant, and a video presentation based on this path through the documents is finally generated. Preferably, the video presentation includes a video part as well as an audio part. In preferred embodiments, selected parts of text documents are translated into a synthesized voice signal before included into the video presentation. As a result, a user can enjoy a video show of the search result in a lean-back mode, e.g. on a TV set, instead of clicking through all parts of an Internet website in order to find relevant documents. A device with user input means, network connecting means and processing means adapted to perform the mentioned method may be formed by a computer, a video recorder, a hard disc recorder, a video camera or a digital TV set.
