Device and method for providing a television sequence using database and user inputs
First Claim
1. Device for providing a television sequence comprising:
- a database interface for accessing at least one database, using a search request;
a search request receiver formed to control the database interface so as to acquire an audio content and an image content separate from the audio content via the database interface in response to the search request, wherein the audio content or the image content comprises content data;
a television sequence rendition module for combining the audio content and the image content to generate the television sequence based on the audio content and the image content; and
an output interface for outputting the television sequence to a television sequence distributor,wherein the device further comprises a memory to store the audio content or the image content and wherein the device is configured to classify the audio content or the image content obtained in response to the search request corresponding to the content data, so that the audio content or the image content are classified regarding their contents,wherein the search request receiver is formed to query and acquire a further queried audio content and a further queried image content subsequent to and depending on the classification of the audio content or the image content obtained in response to the search request regarding their contents, wherein the further queried audio content or the further queried image content is different from the audio content or the image content, andwherein the television sequence rendition module is formed to additionally combine the further queried audio content or the further queried image content into the television sequence, and wherein the television sequence rendition module is formed to generate the television sequence such that a change from the audio content to the further audio content temporally matches a change from the image content to the further image content.

Abstract
A device for providing a television sequence has a database interface, a search request receiver, a television sequence rendition module and an output interface. The database interface accesses at least one database, using a search request. The search request receiver is formed to control the database interface so as to acquire at least audio content and at least image content separate therefrom via the database interface for the search request. The television sequence rendition module combines the separate audio content and the image content to generate the television sequence based on the audio content and the image content. The output interface outputs the television sequence to a television sequence distributor.

18. Method of providing a television sequence, comprising:
-
accessing a database by a database interface, using a search request; controlling the database interface by a search request receiver to acquire audio content and image content separate from the audio content via the database interface in response to the search request, wherein the audio content or the image content comprises content data; combining the audio content and the image content by a television sequence rendition module to generate the television sequence based on the audio content and the image content; and outputting the television sequence by an output interface to a television sequence distributor, wherein the audio content or the image content is stored in a memory and the audio content or the image content is classified corresponding to the content data, so that the audio content or the image content are classified regarding their contents, wherein a further queried audio content and a further queried image content is queried and acquired subsequent to and depending on the classification of the audio content or the image content obtained in response to the search request regarding their contents by the search request receiver, wherein the further queried audio content or the further queried image content is different from the audio content or the image content, and wherein the further queried audio content or the further queried image content is additionally combined into the television sequence by the television sequence rendition module, and wherein the television sequence rendition module is formed to generate the television sequence such that a change from the audio content to the further audio content temporally matches a change from the image content to the further image content.
