The present invention further relates to a method for executing the steps on this system.

Claims (31)

1. A method for an emotion controlled system for processing multimedia data, comprising:

presenting multimedia content to a user using a multimedia system;

determining physical parameters of the user during the presentation of the multimedia content using an acquisition unit, said physical parameters including at least one of heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature;

changing the multimedia content relative the determined physical parameters using an editing unit, the changed multimedia content created in real time while the multimedia content is being presented;

presenting the changed multimedia content using the multimedia system, said changed multimedia content having a transmission bandwidth different than a transmission bandwidth of the multimedia content, and the transmission bandwidth of the changed multimedia content depending on a level of interest of the user; and

controlling an environmental device relative the determined physical parameters to intensify an emotional state of the user.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the changed multimedia content is a program different from the multimedia content.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the changed multimedia content is a digest of the multimedia content.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determined physical parameters are embedded in the changed multimedia content.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the environmental device is a light unit.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the environmental device is a sound unit.

7. An emotion controlled system for processing multimedia data, comprising:

a multimedia system configured to present multimedia content to a user;

an acquisition unit configured to determine physical parameters of the user during presentation of the multimedia content, said physical parameters being at least one of heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature; and

an editing unit configured to change said multimedia content in accordance with the physical parameters of the user in order to present the changed multimedia content with the multimedia system, said changed multimedia content having a transmission bandwidth different than a transmission bandwidth of the multimedia content, and the transmission bandwidth of the changed multimedia content depending on a level of interest of the user, the editing unit configured to change said multimedia content in real time while said multimedia content is being presented by the multimedia system; and

an environmental control unit configured to control an environmental device relative the determined physical parameters to intensify an emotional state of the user.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the changed multimedia content is a program different from the multimedia content.

9. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the changed multimedia content is a digest of the multimedia content.

10. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the environmental device is a light unit.

11. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the environmental device is a sound unit.

12. A computer readable medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, comprising:

presenting multimedia content to a user;

determining physical parameters of the user during the presentation of the multimedia content, said physical parameters being at least one of heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature;

changing the multimedia content relative the physical parameters of the user, said changed multimedia content having a transmission bandwidth different than a transmission bandwidth of the multimedia content, and the transmission bandwidth of the changed multimedia content depending on a level of interest of the user, the changed multimedia content created in real time while the multimedia content is being presented;

presenting the changed multimedia content; and

controlling an environment device relative the determined physical parameters to intensify an emotional state of the user.

13. The computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the changed multimedia content is a program different from the multimedia content.

14. The computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the changed multimedia content is a digest of the multimedia content.

15. The computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the determined physical parameters are embedded in the changed multimedia content.

16. The computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the environmental device is a light unit.

17. The computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the environmental device is a sound unit.
