    摘要: An audio player apparatus (1) and method (2). The audio player apparatus comprises input means (10), such as buttons (11, 12, 13, 14) or soft-buttons on a touch screen, for inputting the presence of at least one user at a location of said audio player apparatus. The player apparatus (1) further has input means (20) for preferred audio-preferences. Thus audio being reproduced by said audio player apparatus (1) is adapted to the current audio taste and/or mood of users present at the location of the audio player apparatus (1).

    摘要: This invention relates to methods of searching for a final number of result strings (30-33) having a partial or an exact match with a query string (34) in a database (80) comprised of many long strings or a long string, said method includes the steps of partitioning the query string in a first number of input query strings (35, 36, 37); determining a second number of neighboring strings (38-41, 42-45, 44-49, respectively) for each string in said first number of input query strings, wherein each string in said second number of neighboring strings has a predetermined first number of errors; searching the database for a third number of exact matches (50-61, 70-74) for each string in said second number of neighboring strings based on a search method; concatenating said searched exact matched strings from the database into a fourth number of intermediate strings (29, 30, 32, 33, 34) wherein said searched exact matched strings (50-61, 70-74) comprised in each of said intermediate strings are in succession to one another in said database; and determining the final number of result strings (30-33) based in said fourth number of intermediate strings, wherein each string in the final number of result strings has a maximum of predetermined second number of errors compared to said query string (34). This enables for a perfect match or a partial match containing only minor errors with respect to said query string, and for a fast search in larger databases with a relative low use of processing power.

    摘要: The invention proposes a photo display system that allows photo collages from any photo collection (2), in which the collage is changing over time in such a way that the refresh time and presentation form is dependent on user choices for selection and non-selection on photo per photo basis. The display dynamics of each photo are also dependent on the characteristics of the photo relative to that of the other photos in the collection (2), including such matters as photo quality and uniqueness of picture action.

    摘要: Techniques are presented for selecting one or more items from a collection of items. To select the one or more items, an interface is provided that is adapted to allow a user to define one or more weights. Each weight corresponds to one of a number of similarity criteria. Each item also corresponds to the number of similarity criteria. The one or more weights define a similarity function. The similarity function is applied to the one or more similarity criteria corresponding to the one or more weights and to each of the items in order to select one or more items from the collection of items. The interface can comprise movable markers corresponding to similarity criteria. Locations of the movable markers can be used to weight similarity criteria when creating the similarity function.

    摘要: A playlist generator partitions the playlist generation process into a multi-stage, hierarchical process. At an example highest hierarchical level, the user's “general” preferences are applied. These general preferences reflect the user's “tastes”, and are relatively constant. At a lower level of the hierarchy, the user's “specific” preferences are applied. These specific preferences reflect the dynamic time-dependent or event dependent aspects of a user's entertainment preferences. The high-level preferences generate a subset of material from the global collection of material, and the lower-level preferences are applied to this subset of material as the user's immediate preferences change. By segregating the playlist generation process hierarchically, efficiency is gained by applying immediate preference changes to a smaller subset of material, and coherency is improved by limiting the subsequent selection processes to a given subset of the material.
