  • Patent number: 7584215
    Abstract: A method of creating user-experiential media services in an information system including several databases for information content, users of information services, information content parameters and user profile parameters, and a rulebase for the reaction impulses of a test user group to information stimuli presented. In the system, a database descriptive of users' reactions is created. Metadata files are created for the user of the information service and the content of the information service by comparing the actual parameters descriptive of the user and the content of the information service with the theoretical parameters included in the rulebase. Possible reactions of the interaction of the user and the content of the information service are specified, whereupon the desired reaction is selected among the possible reactions. The content of the information service is modified for presentation to the user in order to achieve the desired reaction.

  • Patent number: 7216131
    Abstract: A method of creating metadata files for personalization of media services in an information system including a database descriptive of information content, a database descriptive of users of information services, a rulebase descriptive of reaction impulses of a test user group to information stimuli presented, a database descriptive of an information content space, and a database descriptive of a user profile space and including theoretical alternatives for parameters descriptive of users of information services. In the system, a database descriptive of reactions of users of information services is created, the database being arranged to be created as an interaction of the databases descriptive of the information content space and the user profile space. Actual parameters descriptive of the content and users of the information services are compared with theoretical parameters, and metadata files for the user and content of the information service are created as a result of the comparison.
