It can also be changed to data. The element data can be modified not only by the provider of the element data but also by the system operator or the like.

Here, the element database to be constructed is composed of a plurality of element data as shown in FIG. Each element data is composed of the reproduction data which is the content of the presentation and the attribute data which shows the attribute of the reproduction data. The reproduced data includes only moving images, only still images, a combination of moving images and still images, or a combination of these and audio. Attribute data consists of data such as presentation classification, presentation time, presentation target, and presentation importance. The presentation classification is to classify the contents of the presentation (reproduced data), and is not limited to one classification, and may be a plurality of classifications such as a major classification, a middle classification, a minor classification, etc., and a product name. Or company name may be used. The presentation time is the time (presentation time) required for viewing (playing) the presentation (playback data). The presentation target is an attribute of the target person (for example, engineer, sales person, student, consumer, etc.) that is considered to be suitable in view of the content of the presentation. The presentation importance is the importance that can be considered from the content of the presentation. These reproduced data and attribute data are created by the data provider, but the system operator may be able to create or change the attribute data.

Then, in the presentation data providing system 1, as shown in FIG. 3, the server computer 2 generates presentation data and provides it to the client computer 3 in response to a request from the client computer 3.

At that time, the server computer 2 receives the user data, the desired classification, and the desired time setting from the client computer 3. The user data may or may not be set according to the user's wishes.

Here, the user data is data related to the user, and includes the attributes of the user in addition to the name and ID. The user attribute is a classification of the user, and is an attribute classified in the same manner as the presentation target. For example, a technician, a sales person, a student, a consumer, and the like are applicable. The user data may be set so that the server computer 2 sets (recognizes) the user data registered in advance by the ID of the user set (notified) from the client computer 3. In addition, the desired classification is a classification related to the content of the presentation desired by the user, and is classified in the same manner as the presentation classification. The classification may be, and a product name, a company name, or the like may be used. The desired time is the time required for the presentation (reproduction of presentation data) desired by the user.

In response to these user data, desired classification, and desired time setting, the server computer 2 determines the presentation target and the user attribute of the user data from among the plurality of element data included in the element database, as shown in FIG. Match (not limited to exact match, but may include similar ones), and extract element data in which the presentation classification and the desired classification match (not limited to exact match, but approximate ones may be included). In FIG. 4, element data A, element data B, element data C, and element data D are schematically extracted, and the presentation time of each element data is shown by the width. The method of extracting element data from the element database described above is only an example, and an extraction method can be appropriately set, for example, extracting from element data other than the element data already viewed by the user.

Next, the server computer 2 arranges the extracted element data according to the importance of the presentation. FIG. 4 schematically shows that the element data A, the element data B, the element data D, and the element data C are arranged in this order, and the total presentation time of each element data exceeds the desired time. ing.

Next, the server computer 2 removes the element data of the portion of the arranged element data that exceeds the desired time, so that the server computer 2 is composed of an array of element data that falls within the desired time range for presentation. Generate data. In FIG. 4, the element data C that exceeds the desired time is schematically removed to generate presentation data X arranged in the order of element data A, element data B, and element data D (reproduction order). It shows that it is doing.

In the presentation data providing system 1, by providing the presentation data generated by the server computer 2 to the client computer 3, the client computer 3 sequentially reproduces the element data constituting the presentation data, and the presentation data is generated. Can be remembered.

As shown in FIG. 3, the provided presentation data is such that when the server computer 2 accepts the setting of the element data order (reproduction order) from the client computer 3, the element data is reproduced in the set order. The presentation data is changed, and the presentation data is provided to the client computer 3. In FIG. 4, the order of the element data B and the element data D is schematically exchanged to generate the presentation data Y arranged in the order of the element data A, the element data D, and the element data B (reproduction order). It shows that there is.

In this way, in the presentation data providing system 1, the server computer 2 can change the order of the element data constituting the presentation data in response to the request from the client computer 3.
