Abstract
A multimedia provider () generates, based on a request for a media channel from a user terminal (), a session set-up description that is returned to the user terminal (). The description defines, when processed in the terminal (), a session window () that is displayed on a screen () of the terminal and comprises a region () for displaying media data of a requested channel and a channel region () comprising information on alternative available media channels. The description also defines a binding between user inputs () of the terminal () and identifiers of the alternative channels. The set-up description allows for a user-friendly channel switch by automatically transmitting a channel switch request to the multimedia provider () upon a triggering of the user input () that is associated with the identifier of the requested media channel. The description, thus, provides a visually appealing graphical interface and simultaneously allows for a user-friendly media channel switch.
