Estimating the term…
The present invention concerns a process for dynamic navigation with the help of a user interface. Navigation is performed within a tree structure composed of several levels, each level representing categories of multimedia documents. The invention consists of a process enabling a user to formulate a new navigation structure upon each command by modifying the ordered list of levels. The user interface constantly displays the structure of a navigation tree, the list of classification elements accessible from the current level and the list of documents accessible from the current level. The invention also concerns a multimedia terminal able to receive a tree structure and to send signals for displaying a representation of this tree, and equipped with means of dynamic modification of its structure.
Process for navigating and for selecting multimedia documents in a terminal equipped with a display device and comprising a step of receiving descriptive document data, the said descriptive data comprising classification elements for indexing the documents into document categories, the process is wherein it comprises the following steps:
Multimedia terminal comprising a central unit, a means of receiving multimedia documents and descriptive data, a means of transmitting data intended for display, the said descriptive data comprising classification elements for indexing the documents according to categories, and a means of activating the said documents, wherein it comprises a means of displaying a first structure of navigation tree stored in the terminal, the said tree structure comprising an ordered list of levels corresponding to indexing categories and for each level, a set of classification elements, and a command for modifying the structure of the tree consisting in modifying the ordered list of levels, the command automatically triggering the display means for the updating of the structure displayed.
