Abstract: A method for clustering a plurality of content items. The method comprises, determining intervals between at least some of the content items, and then selecting a seed pair of content items using the determined intervals. The seed pair is then assigned to a current cluster, before an interval is determined between one of the content items in the current cluster and a neighbouring one of the content items. The interval is then compared to a predetermined criterion in response to a successful comparison, the content item is assigned to the cluster.

Abstract: An assistance method for selecting a program using a display device (112) is disclosed. The method (1200) selects one or more attributes associated with a first program, the one or more attributes being selected dynamically by a processor associated with the display device (112) according to one or more predetermined criteria. The method searches for a second program associated with one or more of the selected attributes. The second program and the one or more attributes associated therewith are displayed on the display device, according to the search for the second program.
