摘要

The present invention relates to a user device, a system and a method for organizing, searching and browsing multimedia and its metadata by way of applying conditional filters to obtain customized playlists or channels. A file server (100) stores different multimedia files in a server storage device (101), a database server (200) contains a database of multimedia metadata, an application server (300) serves requests from the user devices (600) and a web server (400) implements HTTP protocol. The database server (200) consists of a search engine (201), a conditional filter processing component (202), an indexing component (203) and a database management system DBMS (204). A playlist component (302), a channel component (301), a streaming component (303) and a browsing component constitute the application server (300). Server (100) is connected via a network (500) to the user devices (600), which contain a user interface (601), a local storage device (603), a speaker (605) and a filter application (604).
