Programme generation

摘要

A method for generating a programme for presentation as a sequence of programme elements from a set of pre-recorded programme elements. The programme elements are classified on the basis of programme element content such that each programme element is allocated to at least one of a predetermined set of classes. Each programme element is stored with at least one associated programme classification code, and each classification code identifies a class to which the associated programme element has been allocated. A programme is generated by selecting at least one programme classification code and presenting programme elements associated with the said at least one programme classification code. A plurality of programme elements with associated classification codes are received, and a user is alerted if a received classification code matches a classification code representing programme element content of interest.
