Abstract: The invention relates to a content recommendation device comprising a selection engine (2) that selects content items from a content item pool (4) and generates a selection list (9) comprising the selected content items, and/or means to receive a selection list The content recommendation device also comprises an arrangement engine (3) that generates a content recommendation list (12) by re-arranging at least a part of content items of the selection list (9) so that preferably a dramaturgic sequence of content items is generated.

Abstract: An information retrieval device, including a jog-dial, a screen, a first level item processing unit to display at least a part of first level information items in a virtual ring segment on the screen, wherein first level information items are rotated and thereby the displayed first level information items are changed by rotating the jog-dial, and a first level capturing unit to select a first level information item that is displayed at a predetermined position by pressing the jog-dial. The information retrieval device also includes at least one respective further level information item processing unit to display at least a part of respective further level information items corresponding to an information item selected in the next lower level information items in a virtual ring segment around the virtual ring segment defined by the next lower level information items on the screen.

Abstract: A content recommendation device is provided, including a selection engine selects content items from a content item pool and generates a selection list including the selected content items, wherein said selection engine selects the content items from a content item pool according to a user profile, and/or a receiving unit configured to receive a selection list selected from a content item pool according to a user profile, and a user profiling engine that a part of at least one previously generated selection. The user feedback includes explicit and implicit feedback so that a very simple explicit feedback, which gets refined by the corresponding implicit feedback, is possible.
