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.

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.
