Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for generating a hierarchical data structure of a three-dimensional object, such a hierarchical data structure, and a method for streaming three-dimensional objects. In the method according to the invention, a hierarchical data structure is generated from a three-dimensional object, which has and possibly consists of three-dimensional object data and a texture that is mapped onto the object data, by first converting the three-dimensional object data into multiple detail levels and then segmenting the detail levels, wherein the texture is respectively mapped onto the segments with a corresponding resolution.

Abstract: A method to generate revenue from supplied content is provided. Content is provided to a consumer via a network by providing a content service that allows the consumer to select and retrieve content as a package together with a clearing of the selectable content to an operator used by the consumer to select and retrieve the content via the network. Any content selected by the consumer is supplied directly to the consumer via the operator. The operator is charged for the supplied content.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of generating 3D data of an object, in particular for the generation of underwater maps. This method comprises the following steps: provision of two-dimensional image data of the surface of the object, such as e.g. the bottom of a body of water, together with reference information provision of a three-dimensional relief map of a predetermined area of the object or of the bottom of a body of water, and mapping of the two-dimensional image data as texture on the three-dimensional relief map by means of the reference information.

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: 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.
