Multimedia database reading system uses keywords to locate multimedia contents for display via audiovisual output devices

摘要

The database is connected by a local network (10) to several audiovisual devices (12,14, 30) including a smell dispenser (12), a personal digital assistant (14), a digital photo support (16) and a microprocessor (18). Reading includes generation of a formula comprising keywords and parameters for reading the multimedia contents of the database (28) and displaying this information. The procedure provides for management of one or more databases (28) storing multimedia contents. This database is connected by a local network (10) to at least one audiovisual reader (12,14, 30) displaying audiovisual contents. The network may use Ethernet, radio or IEEE 1394 technologies, and may include a smell dispenser (12), a personal digital assistant (14), a digital photo support (16) and a microprocessor (18). Further elements may include a hi-fi chain (20) and television (22). The procedure includes generation of at least one formula comprising keywords and parameters for reading the multimedia contents of the database (28) on the audiovisual readers (12,14, 30). The second stage comprises selection of the multimedia contents of the database as a function of the keywords of the formula. The third stage comprises reading the selected multimedia contents as a function of these keywords.
