    摘要: A system (11, 50) and method is disclosed to be used for physically locating content (12) in a network (10). Further, a device is disclosed for use in the system and a computer program product enabling the disclosed method. The system comprises an input means (53) allowing a user to identify content (12) which is to be physically located, for example, via a computer or television user interface. A device (11) storing the content (12) is identified physically within the network. The device provides a signal (45) which the user is physically susceptible to, for example, a visual indication. The user is therefore assisted in the physical location of content that has been virtualised in the network. Such a system is especially useful when the device comprised within the network is a portable storage device that the user would like to quickly locate and take away.

    摘要: The method consists of providing (1) a user interface for selecting a content item stored on a storage means, retrieving (3) a further content item related to the content item from a system on a network using an identification of the content item, and storing (5) the further content item on the removable medium. The electronic device contains a writer (23), a control unit (25), and a network interface (27). The control unit (25) is able to use an input device and an output device to enable a user to select a content item stored on a storage means (33), to use the network interface (27) for retrieving a further content item related to the content item from a system on a network using an identification of the content item, and to use the writer (23) for storing the further content item on the removable medium. The computer program product enables, upon its execution, a programmable apparatus to function as the electronic device.
