Abstract
Provision is made for an information reproduction scheme which is intelligent and adjusts to the desires and needs of the user in a manner which is almost unnoticeable to the user and is associated with little or no additional effort on the part of the user, in that the selection, from pieces of information or a plurality of pieces of information, of the information to be reproduced is performed randomly on the basis of an adaptive probability distribution, and the adaptive probability distribution is adapted based on a captured behavior of the user upon the reproduction of the information selected. Consequently, the user's behavior is used as a controlled variable for adapting the adaptive probability distribution, the latter one defining, among the reproducible information and/or those information objects wherein the reproducible information is provided, the likelihood that a specific piece of information provided in an information object will or will not be selected in the next random selection for the next piece of information to be reproduced.
