ABSTRACT:
A system and method for selecting a video piece from an assortment of video pieces available over an interactive network uses a graphical interface in connection with a database on which each of the available video pieces is characterized by categories and by quantitative rating of criteria. The characterization of the video pieces by categories and quantitative criteria is based on the subject matter of the video pieces. The graphical interface displays control elements, icons and sliders that relate to the categories and quantitative criteria. By selecting icons and manipulating the sliders, the user can initiate a selection process that will select a video piece that relates to the users subject matter interest. The system and method is intended for children to use in selecting cartoons over an interactive network.
