Abstract

A method and a system of recommending media content on a media system (109) by use of a user'"'"'s interest profile, implicit feedback from the user and the reliability of the feedback: The media system can be a set-top box, a TV, a PC, a DVD player, a radio or a VCR. The media system receives inputs to the media system by use of a keyboard, a mouse, a remote control, an interactive menu, a microphone, gesture recognition or a joystick. The method includes the steps of retrieving information about media content, retrieving feedback information about a user'"'"'s interaction with the media system (implicit feedback), retrieving feedback information about a user'"'"'s rating of the media content (explicit feedback), updating the interest profile in response to the feedback information, estimating a score that represents reliability of the user'"'"'s rating of the media content in response to at least one of the retrieved feedback information about the user'"'"'s rating of the media content, and using the users rating, the score and a score of the interest profile to modify the interest profile.

Claims

1. A sealing structure (6) for a display device (1), characterized in that the sealing structure (6) comprises a first layer (7) of a first dielectric material formed on said device (1) and a second layer (8) of a second dielectric material formed on the first layer (7).

2. A sealing structure according to claim 1, wherein at least one third layer (9) of a third dielectric material is formed on top of the second layer (8).

3. A sealing structure according to claim 1, wherein said dielectric materials are transparent.

4. A sealing structure according to claim 1, wherein at least an outer layer (8;

9) facing a potential user comprises a dielectric material resistant to the atmosphere.

5. A sealing structure according to claim 2, wherein the first and the third dielectric materials are essentially the same.

6. A sealing structure according to claim 5, wherein the first and the third dielectric materials are silicon nitride.

7. A sealing structure according to claim 1, wherein the second dielectric material is selected from among silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxidefluoride, titanium oxide, tantalum oxide, zirconium oxide, hafnium oxide, aluminium oxide, or any mixture thereof.

8. A sealing structure according to claim 1, also comprising a getter layer.

9. A sealing structure according to claim 1, also comprising a layer of an organic polymer interposed between said dielectric materials.

10. A sealing structure according to claim 9, also including a getter layer on top of the organic polymer and formed before the layer of the second dielectric material.

15. A display device (1) comprising a substrate (5) and at least one sealing structure (6) according to claim 1.

16. A display device according to claim 15, wherein the at least one sealing structure is at least formed on the side of the display device (1) facing a potential user.

17. A display device according to claim 15, wherein the at least one sealing structure is interposed between the display device and the substrate (3).

18. A display device according to claim 15, wherein said sealing structure comprises a getter layer.

19. A display device according to claim 15, wherein said sealing structure comprises a layer of an organic polymer.

11. A method for sealing a display device (1), comprising the steps of:

forming a first layer (7) of a first dielectric material on said display device (1), and

forming a second layer (8) of a second dielectric material on top of the first layer (7).

12. A method according to claim 11, also comprising the step of forming at least one third layer (9) of a third dielectric material on top of the second layer (8).

13. A method according to claim 12, wherein the first and the third dielectric materials are the same.

14. A method according to claim 11, wherein said layers (7, 8, 9) are formed using a low-temperature plasma-enhanced CVD method.
