DEVICE AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC FILTER ADJUSTMENT
First Claim
1. A device for adjusting filter parameters, the device comprises or can be connected toa display, a physical user interface and a memory,the device further comprises a processing unit that is or can be operatively connected to the display, the physical user interface and the memory,wherein the memory comprisesa sorted list of items comprising a plurality of items in an ordered manner wherein the order of the items is determined by their rank, andwherein the processing unit is configured to generate a graphical representation of the items in the list in an ordered manner on the display,wherein the processing unit is further configured to respond to the physical user interface so as to allow a user to rearrange and/or drop items in the graphical representation of the list of items to thus generate a re-ordered list,wherein the processing unit is further configured to modify the rank of the items in the list according to the graphical representation after rearrangement in response to the physical user interface, andwherein the processing unit is further configured to modify a relative rating history based on the re-ordered list and to generate from the modified relative rating history a modified set of filter parameters.

Abstract
A method and a device for adjusting filter parameters comprises a display, a physical user interface, a memory and a processing unit. The memory comprises a sorted list of items in an ordered manner, the order determined by their rank, and each item has at least one feature-value pair that represents a value of a feature of the item. The processing unit generates a graphical representation of the items in the list in an ordered manner on the display. The processing unit responds to the user interface so as to allow a user to re-order (rearrange) and/or drop items in the graphical representation of the list of items; it modifies the rank of the items in the list, and it determines a like-degree for at least some of the feature-value pairs.

12. A method for adjusting filter parameters, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a sorted list of items comprising a plurality of items in an ordered manner wherein the order of the items is determined by their rank, generating a graphical representation of the items in the list in an ordered manner on the display, responding to the physical user interface so as to allow a user to re-order (rearrange) and/or drop items in the graphical representation of the list of items, modifying the rank of the items in the list according to the graphical representation after rearrangement in response to the physical user interface, modifying a relative rating history based on the re-ordered list, and generating from the modified relative rating history a modified set of filter parameters. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
