Abstract
A technique for storing and selecting media files, such as digital images, video clips or music files, on the basis of symbols (S). The symbols comprise an identifier (11, 422) and visual data (428, 438, 448). For each media file (400) there is association data (402) for associating user-selected symbols (420, 430, 440) with the media file. The association data (402) comprises an identifier (404) of the media file and an identifier (408-412) of each associated symbol. For example, a photograph of a camel family in the New York zoo can be associated with the symbols for camel (420), family (430) and New York (440). The invention simplifies media file classification and retrieval in portable user devices without a full alphanumeric keyboard. The user may obtain more symbols from an external source, such as a dedicated symbol server.
