Abstract: A method for data communication is provided and may include storing multimedia data in a first database, the multimedia data being associated with assigned metadata stored in the first database. The assigned metadata may be created for a plurality of users based on at least a user profile for each of the users, which may be based on prior viewing habits. Multimedia data may be selected based on at least the assigned metadata to produce user-specific multimedia data for selection by the users. The user-specific multimedia data may be stored in a second database and may be selected and communicated to a user terminal. An alarm to a user interface of the user terminal may be generated, if in producing the user-specific multimedia data from the profiled multimedia data, it was not possible to generate the user-specific multimedia data in conformance with the user specific hardware or network characteristics.
