A media integration layer including an application programming interface (API) and an object model allows program code developers to interface in a consistent manner with a scene graph data structure in order to output graphics. Via the interfaces, program code adds child visuals to other visuals to build up a hierarchical scene graph, writes Instruction Lists such as geometry data, image data, animation data and other data for output, and may specify transform, clipping and opacity properties on visuals. The media integration layer and API enable programmers to accomplish composition effects within their applications in a straightforward manner, while leveraging the graphics processing unit in a manner that does not adversely impact normal application performance. A multiple-level system includes the ability to combine different media types (such as 2D, 3D, Video, Audio, text and imaging) and animate them smoothly and seamlessly.

The invention generally relates to the field of markup languages used to describe adaptive mobile multimedia applications and/or presentations being inherently dependent on the dynamic mobile environment they are running in, which means that these mobile multimedia applications and/or presentations need to be adapted to the preferences of mobile users, the capabilities of their mobile computing devices, and their current situation. It allows adaptive mobile stream-based multimedia applications with real-time requirements in a typical wireless scenario (e.g. a radio link with a changing transmission quality and hand-over procedures) to adaptively and responsively react to a time-varying network topology and different radio link characteristics. Thereby, the underlying invention especially includes research and development issues in the field of describing adaptation possibilities (1500), adaptation constraints (802) and adaptation events (3802) directed to a personalization and context-aware adaptation of document-based multimedia applications by providing methods for pre-allocating, reserving, monitoring and adapting QoS-related parameters in a dynamic mobile environment using an XML-based multimedia presentation language.

In this connection, a document model (100) consisting of vocabulary, document structure and linking means (1600) between the document model elements is presented which supports the description (700) of adaptive mobile multimedia applications and/or presentations. Besides, a document object model supporting a simplified transaction-oriented access is proposed.

Systems and methods for dynamic media integration into networked content are disclosed.

The invention relates to generation and update based on event playback experience. An exemplar method, a device, and a system used to capture, organize, share and/or display media can be disclosed. By using all the disclosed embodiments, the uniform playback and the browse experience can be automatically created correspondingly to the media integration. For example, the trial-and-error method and the metadata can be used to combine the commentary, and add the same to the media data. In addition, when more media are added to the integration, the expression of the media can be dynamically restructured by itself. Although the integration can use the content of the single user, but sometimes, the expectation includes that the media of the integration is captured by a friend and or other people in the same event. In some embodiments, the media content related to the event can be automatically collected and shared in the selected group. Besides, in some other embodiments, new media can be automatically included in the media integration related to the event, and the playback experience can be dynamically updated.

A system and accompanying methods provide for the creation and navigation of interactive, three-dimensional media presentations. A three-dimensional presentation is received, and includes a three-dimensional canvas having integrated therein a plurality of two-dimensional content elements from a first content source and a plurality of three-dimensional content elements from a second content source. The two-dimensional content elements and the three-dimensional content elements relate to a common topic. The three-dimensional presentation is displayed to a user on a user device by moving a virtual camera about the three-dimensional canvas over a plurality of defined motion paths. While displaying the three-dimensional presentation to the user, user navigation instructions with respect to a first one of the integrated content elements are received. In response thereto, the three-dimensional canvas and/or the virtual camera within the three-dimensional canvas are spatially manipulated to cause a second one of the integrated content elements to provide context relating to the first integrated content element.

A system and related techniques generate a unified representation of graphical representations, such as documents, graphic images or others, for displaying on a display screen, printing on a printer, faxing via a facsimile machine or outputting in other ways. In embodiments a media integration layer, which may reside in the operating system level, may generate renderings from graphics primitives, and send that rendering via a mediation engine to a device driver, for instance a print engine located in a printer. The device engine may return a preview of the output representation to the media integration layer for adjustments or to accept and print the output, all without a necessity for or reliance upon a device-specific driver in the operating system. Since both the display screen and the output device operate off of the same base representation, neither the display nor output device needs to attempt to emulate the output characteristics of the other, and screen-to-print uniformity may be enhanced.
