    摘要: An electronic device and method for automatic generation of a sorted list of items related to a seed item comprises a relatedness determinator to compare the seed item with a plurality of further items and to determine a relatedness value for each further item with respect to the seed item. The device also has a clustering engine to cluster the further items by determining a relative relatedness between (among) the further items. Each further item is assigned to one cluster. The device also has a list generator to generate a sorted result list by sorting the further items according to both, their relatedness value and their belonging (or membership) to a cluster in that once an item is added to the sorted list, the relatedness value depending ranking of the further items in that cluster is at least momentary lowered so as to promote adding items of further clusters.

    摘要: A method of automatically generating metadata for association with a collection of content items accessible to a system (1) for processing data included in the content items, includes obtaining sets of metadata associated with the content items individually, each set of metadata including at least one attribute value associated with the content item. At least one distribution of values of an attribute over the sets of metadata associated with the respective content items is analyzed. At least one attribute value is selected in dependence on the analysis. The selected attribute value(s) are processed to generate the metadata for association with the collection, and the generated metadata are made available to the system (1) for processing data included in the content items in connection with an identification of the collection of content items.

    摘要: This invention relates to a method and computer system for automatic generation of trailers. More specifically it relates to a method for generating revenues from providers of content data. The method generally comprises the steps of finding product placement data in a super set of data. When these product placements have been found they are preferably matched with a user profile and segments, of the superset comprising these product placements with a positive match, are selected and merged into a subset of data. A counter may keep track of which product placement that has been chosen and how many times a product placement has been chosen and viewed. Based on the value of the counter an invoice is created.
