User-oriented multimedia presentation system for multiple presentation items that each behave as an agent
First Claim
1. A user-adaptive audio and/or video presentation system containing a background presentation sub-system for presenting audio and/or video items, control means for controlling said presentation sub-system as regarding an automatically generated selection sequence amongst said items according to a user preference pattern, and output means for physically presenting selected items to a user,wherein each said item has a uniformly structured first set of static attribute data and associated second set of weight value data indicating relevance of the static attribute data, and also a third set of dynamic behaviour parameter data, and said items are with respect to their dynamic behaviour collectively governed by a set of behavioral and interactivity prescriptions, so that each respective item represents a respective autonomous agent, and said control means include processing means for under influence of said first and second sets of data and as governed by said prescriptions, updating said weights and dynamic behaviour parameter data of each item in question vis a vis other said items for subsequently influencing said controlling.

Abstract
A user-adaptive audio and/or video presentation system contains a background sub-system for presenting audio and/or video items, control for the background subsystem as regarding an actual selection sequence amongst the items according to a user preference pattern, and output means for physically presenting selected items to a user. Each item has a uniformly structured first set of static attribute data and associated second set of weight value data, and a third set of dynamic behaviour data. The dynamic behaviour of the items is collectively governed by behavioral and interactivity prescriptions, so that each respective item represents an autonomous agent. The control includes processing for under influence of the first and second sets of data and as governed by the prescriptions, updating weight and dynamic behaviour parameter data of each item versus other items for subsequently influencing the controlling.

14. A method for user-adaptive audio and/or video presentation comprising the steps of:
-
selectively accessing a background presentation sub-system for presenting audio and/or video items according to a user preference pattern, and physically outputting selected items to a user, wherein operating each such item as an autonomous agent on the basis of a uniformly structured first set of static attribute data and associated second set of weight value data indicating relevance of static attribute data, and also a third set of dynamic behaviour parameter data associated to the item, and furthermore through behavioral and interactivity prescriptions for governing their collective dynamic behaviour, and by under influence of said first and second sets of data and as governed by said prescriptions, updating said weights and dynamic behaviour parameter data of each item in question vis a vis other said items for subsequently influencing said controlling.
