Embodiment Construction

[0028] figure 1 A receiver (CE device) according to the invention with Internet capability and with a search device 1 according to the invention (CE device) for receiving an audio data stream is shown in the form of a block circuit diagram. The search device 1 has receiving means 5 for connection to a data network 6 such as the Internet. Furthermore, two information sources 2, 3 are connected to the data network 6, and it should be noted that the number of information sources can be as desired. The information sources 2, 3 are in the form of Internet audio servers. It should be noted that the information sources 2 and 3 could also be in the form of Internet radio or television stations or news servers. It should therefore be noted that the receiver and search device 1 may also be arranged to process video or audio / video or news data streams.

[0029]Each information source has a plurality of content 4A, 4B, 4C or 4D, 4E, 4F organized in the form of a playlist. This means t...

Abstract

A method for automatically searching at least one information source accessible through a data network for contents that satisfy predefined criteria, which contents comprise useful information, such as stream of audio, video or news data, and metadata that characterizes the useful information, comprises: selecting an information source and receiving the metadata and analyzing it in respect of the predefined criteria. If the criteria are satisfied, the method includes processing the useful information received. If not, then for as long as the predefined criteria are not satisfied, generating a control signal and transmitting it to the information source to change the content supplied by the latter, and again receiving the metadata for the content supplied, and analyzing the metadata in respect of the predefined criteria.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for automatically searching at least one information source accessible via a network such as the Internet for content provided by this information source and meeting predetermined criteria, wherein the content comprises useful information, preferably an audio stream , video stream or news data stream and metadata characterizing this useful information, said information source changes what it provides under the control of control signals. [0002] The invention also relates to a search device for automatically searching at least one information source accessible via a network such as the Internet for content provided by this information source and satisfying predetermined criteria, wherein the content comprises useful information, preferably Streams of audio, video or news data as well as metadata characterizing this useful information, said information source changes what it offers under the control of control si...
