Method and device for creating semantic browsing options

Device for creating semantic browsing options comprising:

• an input device configured to receive data on a communication link;
• a means to select and display an initial set of images from an input database comprising a plurality of images, said images received through said communication link, each image being associated with a semantic information out of a semantic information space, each dimension of said space being associated with one semantic information, wherein said semantic information includes text-based data that characterizes said each image;
• a means to determine a semantic information sub-space which dimensions are each associated with one of the plurality of semantic information associated with said initial set of images, wherein the device further comprises:
• a means to select a reduced sub-space out of said semantic information sub-space absent explicitly providing a search keyword;
• a means to create semantic links to images of the database associated with the semantic information of said reduced sub-space;
• a means to display, together with said initial set of images, in the form of image buttons, images of the database associated each with one of the semantic information of said reduced sub-space;
• a means to select one of said displayed image button, triggering the display of another set of images and a new set of image buttons, said new set of images being associated with a new reduced sub-space which dimensions comprise at least one dimension associated with one semantic information associated with said image, replacing the initial set of images and enabling an iterative browsing of the input database, the new set of image buttons being each associated with one of the semantic information of the new reduced sub-space, wherein the iterative browsing is without a precise image goal and is enabled absent explicitly providing a search keyword.
