Sequential retrieval, sampling, and modulated rendering of database or data net information using data stream from audio-visual media
First Claim
1. A method of modifying through an interface operated by at least one user, as a function of an input data stream not interactively generated by said user, information originating from a search engine operating on a data source defined as a database or a data net or the Internet, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) analyzing and filtering of said input stream thereby generating search commands and rendering factors;
b) searching said data source by applying said search commands to said search engine of said data source;
c) retrieving data source search results generated by said search engine;
d) rendering said search results according to said rendering factors thereby producing rendered search results, and e) sending said rendered search results to at least one video monitor thereby presenting said rendered search results to an audience.

Abstract
A method of modifying through an interface operated by at least one user, as a function of an input data stream not interactively generated by said user, information originating from a search engine operating on a data source defined as a database or a data net. This method comprises the steps of: a) analyzing said input stream thereby generating search commands and rendering factors, b) searching said data source by applying said search commands to said search engine of said data source, c) retrieving data source search results generated by said search engine, d) rendering said search results according to said rendering factors thereby producing rendered search results, and e) sending said rendered search results to at least one video monitor thereby presenting said rendered search results to an audience.

21. A method for at least one user, of rendering through a user interface and as a function of an input data stream not interactively generated by said user, information originating from a search engine operating on a data source defined as a database or a data net, said method comprising the steps of:
-
a) entering analysis and filtering parameters through said interface and using them in analyzing and filtering input stream thereby generating search commands and rendering factors;
b) entering search parameters through said interface, and using said search parameters in editing search commands, thereby generating edited search commands;
c) entering said edited search command into said search engine, and retrieving search results from said search engine;
d) entering editing criteria trough said interface, and using said editing criteria in editing said search results, thereby generating edited search results;
e) entering rendering specifications through said interface and using said rendering specifications in editing or modulating rendering factors, thereby generating edited rendering factors;
f) using edited rendering factors in rendering edited search results thereby producing rendered search results, and g) displaying rendered search results.

22. A system operated by at least one user for retrieving images from a search engine operating on a searchable data source defined as a database or a data net, and rendering those images according to rendering factors generated from an audio-visual input data stream not interactively generated by said user, said device comprising:
-
a) a graphical user interface by means of which said user can enter operational data comprising analyzing filtering parameters, search parameters, editing criteria and rendering specification;
b) an analyzing and filtering module that processes said input data stream according to said analyzing and filtering parameters, and generates search commands, and rendering factors;
c) a search engine operating on said searchable data source, that accepts said search commands and generates data source search results;
d) a rendering module that uses said rendering specifications and said rendering factors to operate on said search results and produce rendered search results, and, e) a display that accepts and displays said rendered search results. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
