Abstract

An automatic method and apparatus for processing information. Features in the information are recognized and occurrences of user-relevant features in the features of the information are determined. Based upon the occurrences of user-relevant features, evaluation values for portions of the information are determined based on a sum of the occurrences of the user-relevant features in each of the portions of the information. The evaluation values are then used to process the portions of the information. The processing may include an automatic recording process, squelch control, sorting process, display by evaluation value or other mechanisms.
