    摘要: A device (DVR) handles data items that can be rendered to a user. Such a device may be, for example, a digital video recorder. The device (DVR) comprises a network interface (NWIC, NWIM) that couples the device (DVR) to a network, which comprises other devices. A content analysis initiator (ECF) within the device (DVR) detects that another device, which forms part of the network, comprises a content analyzer. The content analysis initiator (ECF) causes the content analyzer (AVCA) of the other device to be applied to a data item (AVF).

    摘要: A content augmentation process for personal recordings involves a service center (SC). The service center (SC) collects personal recordings from various different users via a network so as to constitute a database (DB) of personal recordings. The service center (SC) identifies personal recordings within the database (DB) that concern a particular scene and that are mutually complementary so as to form a selection of personal recordings (FSRR) for content augmentation purposes. The service center (SC) applies a content augmentation process (AUGP) to the selection of personal recordings (FSRR) so as to obtain an enhanced representation (CA).
