摘要

A media appliance metaphor (111) for adding a media function to a Web page (34) downloaded at a processor platform (24) includes a software device of a graphic representation representing a real world counterpart for display in connection with the Web page (34). The metaphor (111) is formed by a server system (26) as a service response (162, 176, 186) in response to information provided by the processor platform (24) to the server system (26).
