Abstract

A method (10) to convert a sequence of electronic documents (12), defined according to SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) or similar language and consisting of at least a heading (13) and a body (14), into a stream of data. The stream of data can be reproduced on at least a client terminal, and consists of one or more audio streams and/or one or more video streams comprising audio- visual contents that can be reproduced simultaneously. Furthermore, the stream of data is not predefined at the beginning of the reproduction, but is modified and/or integrated during reproduction, with no actual and/or perceptible interruption, increasing and/or modifying the sequence of electronic documents with one or more sequences deriving from a request from the client terminal.
