APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THE COGNITIVE COMPLEXITY OF AN AUDIOVISUAL CONTENT TO A VIEWER ATTENTION LEVEL
First Claim
1. An audiovisual signal processing arrangement (104, 106), comprising an audiovisual signal processing unit (104) arranged to receive from a control unit (106) at least one complexity setting value (S_Inf-c) specifying a complexity of information in an audiovisual signal, the audiovisual signal processing unit (104) being arranged to process an inputted audiovisual signal S(A,V) to decrease or increase its information complexity as determined by the complexity setting value (S_Inf-c), wherein the audiovisual signal processing unit (104) is arranged to process at least an audio component (A) of the audiovisual signal S(A,V).
