Abstract:
1. A machine-implemented multimedia method, comprising: receiving path-enhanced multimedia (PEM) data including a sequence of points corresponding to at least one spatiotemporal path and links between at least one multimedia object and at least one respective point on the at least one spatiotemporal path, wherein at least one spatiotemporal path includes at least one point unlinked to any respective multimedia object; generating a structured specification for rendering a presentation including at least a portion of the PEM data, wherein at least a portion of a given spatiotemporal path is represented by a substantially continuous sequence of points overlaid on a corresponding portion of a map of a geographic region encompassing spatial bounds of at least a portion of the received PEM data; and storing the structured specification on a machine readable medium.
