Abstract

In order to efficiently handle the switch between user media and announcement media, a basic step is to first determine a configuration of the user media. Next, a configuration of the announcement media to be presented is determined based on the determined user media configuration. Subsequently, the announcement media is configured according to the announcement media configuration, and the configured announcement media is finally sent to the intended user. In this way, the overall appearance or sound of the announcement will be virtually the same as or at least similar to the overall appearance or sound of the user media, preferably without distortions. This allows the user to perceive the announcement as clearly as possible.
