Abstract:
1. A computer-executable method for use in a computer connected to a data communication network to which a destination is connected for processing multimedia content description data sets to deliver a plurality of output data sets intended for transmission through the data communication network, from a single input data set, the method comprising: a processor in the computer performing the steps of: obtaining instructions for giving priority coefficients to description data, the instructions being obtained independently of the input data set, and dynamically allocating the priority coefficients to at least some of the description data in the input data set according to the obtained instructions; obtaining priority coefficient thresholds and associating the obtained priority coefficient thresholds with a predetermined number of output data sets; distributing data of the single input data set to the output data sets as a function of the priority coefficients allocated to the description data of the input data set and as a function of the thresholds associated with each of the output data sets; and transmitting through the data communication network at least one of the output data sets to the destination.
