Method and apparatus for generating metadata

An apparatus for generating metadata, said metadata being associated with a content, the apparatus comprising:

• an obtaining means (210) for obtaining the uncompressed digital signal of said content;
• a determining means (220) for determining the feature data of said uncompressed digital signal, said feature data being associated with the features that can be physiologically sensed in the analog signal that corresponds to said uncompressed digital signal;
• and
• a creating means (230) for creating metadata that are associated with a physiological emotion according to said feature data.

A computer program product for generating metadata, said metadata being associated with a content, the computer program product comprising:

• codes for obtaining the uncompressed digital signal of said content;
• codes for determining the feature data of the uncompressed digital signal, said feature data being associated with the features that can be physiologically sensed in the analog signal that corresponds to said uncompressed digital signal;
• and
• codes for creating metadata associated with a physiological emotion according to said feature data.
