Abstract
A system for presenting information regarding an object provided within a plurality of information sources to a user or a presentation means depending on a location of the user or the presentation means includes a means for determining the location, a means for selecting the information to be presented depending on the determined location and on one or several pre-settable selection criteria defining an information source from the plurality of information sources, and a means for outputting the information to be presented.
Claims14
Method for presenting information regarding an object from a plurality of information provided within a plurality of information sources to a user or a presentation means depending on a location of the user or the presentation means, the method comprising the following steps:
- Determining the location;
- Selecting a management part from a plurality of management parts, each of which comprises a reference to one of the plurality of information sources, a position indication and one or several pre-settable selection criteria, depending on the determined location and on the one or the several pre-settable selection criteria of the plurality of management parts;
- and
- Outputting the information provided within the information source which the reference of the selected management part refers to,
- wherein the selection criteria of the plurality of information sources include a category, and
- wherein a weighting value may be associated with each category of the plurality of management parts, wherein the categories are organised in a tree structure and wherein a weighting is determined based on the weightings within the tree structure and wherein the step of selecting comprises the selection of a management part from the plurality of management parts depending on the weightings of the plurality of management parts.
Device for presenting information regarding an object from a plurality of information, provided within a plurality of information sources to a user or a presentation means depending on a location of the user or the presentation means, the device comprising:
- means for determining the location;
- means for selecting a management part from a plurality of management parts each of which comprises a reference to one of the plurality of information sources, a position indication and one or several pre-settable selection criteria, depending on the determined location and on the one or several pre-settable selection criteria of the plurality of management parts;
- and
- means for outputting the information provided within the information source which the reference of the selected management part refers to,
- wherein the selection criteria of the plurality of information sources include a category, and
- wherein each category of the plurality of management parts may be associated with a weighting value and wherein the categories are organised in a tree structure, and wherein a weighting is determined based on the weightings within the tree structure, and wherein the step of selecting comprises a selection of a management part from the plurality of management parts depending on the weightings of the plurality of management parts.
