Abstract

Claims (61)

1. A media asset management system for managing at least one media asset, comprising:

a media asset repository for maintaining said at least one media asset, said media access repository controlled by a media server;

a user terminal configured to access said media asset repository, said user terminal including a presenting part;

said repository being coupled to said user terminal over a communications link;

a media asset feedback detection part configured to detect an audible behavior of a user at said user terminal related to said at least one media asset at managing said at least one media asset by said user terminal; and

a feedback interpreting part configured to determine an annotation to said at least one media asset managed based on an interpretation/analysis of said audible behavior of said user related to said at least one media asset; and

wherein the annotation indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset; and

wherein the feedback interpreting part is further configured to:

determine the annotation that indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset based on a rules based reasoning; and

allow users to customize their personal rules.

2. The media asset management system according to claim 1 , wherein said media asset management system further comprises:

a media asset annotating part configured to annotate said at least one media asset managed based on said audible behavior of said user related to said at least one media asset.

3. The media asset management system according to claim 1 , wherein said media asset feedback detection part is configured to detect said audible behavior of a user at said user terminal by means of a sensor.

4. The media asset management system according to claim 1 , wherein the annotation is based on blood pressure.

5. The media asset management system according to claim 1 , wherein the annotation is based on skin resistance.

6. A method for media asset management of at least one media asset, comprising:

maintaining, with a media asset repository, said at least one media asset;

with a user terminal, managing said media asset repository through a media server, said repository being coupled to said user terminal over a communications link, and said user terminal including a presenting part;

detecting, with a media asset feedback detection part, an audible behavior of a user at said user terminal related to said at least one media asset at managing said at least one media asset by said user terminal; and

determining, with a feedback interpreting part, an annotation to said at least one media asset managed based on an interpretation/analysis of said audible behavior of said user related to said at least one media asset; and

wherein the annotation indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset; and

wherein the determining further comprises:

determining the annotation that indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset based on a rules based reasoning; and

allowing users to customize their personal rules.

7. A user terminal for managing at least one media asset maintained by a media asset repository, comprising:

a presenting part configured to present information;

said user terminal being configured to manage said media asset repository through a media server, said repository being coupled to said user terminal over a communications link;

a media asset feedback detection part configured to detect an audible behavior of a user at said user terminal related to said at least one media asset at managing said at least one media asset by said user terminal; and

a feedback interpreting part configured to determine an annotation to said at least one media asset based on an interpretation/analysis of said audible behavior of said user related to said at least one media asset; and

wherein the annotation indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset; and

wherein the feedback interpreting part is further configured to:

determine the annotation that indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset based on a rules based reasoning; and

allow users to customize their personal rules.

8. The user terminal according to claim 7 , wherein said user terminal further comprises:

a media asset managing part configured to annotate said at least one media asset managed based on said audible behavior of said user related to said at least one media asset.

9. The user terminal according to claim 7 , wherein said media asset feedback detection part is configured to detect said audible behavior of a user at said user terminal by means of a sensor.

10. A network element for use in a communications system including a media asset repository for maintaining at least one media asset, said media access repository controlled by a media server, a user terminal configured to access said media asset repository, said user terminal including a presenting part, said repository being coupled to said user terminal over a communications link,

said network element comprises:

a media asset feedback detection part configured to detect an audible behavior of a user at said user terminal related to said at least one media asset at managing said at least one media asset by said user terminal; and

a feedback interpreting part configured to determine an annotation to said at least one media asset based on an interpretation/analysis of said audible behavior of a user related to said at least one media asset; and

wherein the annotation indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset; and

wherein the feedback interpreting part is further configured to:

determine the annotation that indicates that the user likes said at east one media asset based on a rules based reasoning; and

allow users to customize their personal rules.

11. A media server including a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory computer medium, the instructions executable to:

control a media asset repository that maintains at least one media asset;

communicate with a user terminal including a presenting part;

receive an annotation from the user terminal, the annotation based on an interpretation/analysis of an audible, detected behavior of a user related to said at least one media asset; and

wherein the annotation indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset; and

wherein the instructions are further executable to:

determine the annotation that indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset based on a rules based reasoning; and

allow users to customize their personal rules.

12. A media asset repository including a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory computer medium, the instructions executable to:

receive controlling instructions from a media server;

communicate with a user terminal including a presenting part;

maintain at least one media asset;

receive an annotation from the user terminal, the annotation based on an interpretation/analysis of an audible, detected behavior of a user related to said at least one media asset; and

wherein the annotation indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset; and

wherein the instructions are further executable to:

determine the annotation that indicates that the user likes said at least one media asset based on a rules based reasoning; and

allow users to customize their personal rules.
