Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the automatic playback of electronic data records according to claim 1 and a device for the automatic playback of electronic data records according to claim 19.
- a multimedia data record is understood here to mean that image data, text data, video data, hyperlinks and / or data can be displayed on a screen together or in any combination in a document.
- a user can select other WWW pages.
- Such WWW pages are also increasingly being offered, for example, as order forms for goods and services, such as department stores or banks.
- a user must enter a lot of information in the fields provided.
- the disadvantage here is that when using such an interactive document for the first time, a user is often unable to exhaust the information content of the interactive WWW page due to the numerous cross-connections or the complex input structures.
- the user fills out an online form incorrectly because he does not know the function of a corresponding field.
- he has to interactively follow hyperlinks or make entries, whereby he cannot be sure that he will find the fastest or best way to the information sought.
- This object is achieved by the method according to the invention in that a control data record is assigned to a basic data record to be reproduced.
- the basic data record can have any form (e.g. WWW page) as long as it can be reproduced on an output device in a way that is perceptible to a user.
- any form e.g. WWW page
- the control data record contains control data, the commands and / or information of which are used to automatically control the playback of the basic data record.
