Abstract:
1. A method in a personal computing system for a browser program to control a media player program upon receipt of certain input event data initiated by input from a human directed to the browser program, comprising: (a) having a computing system for running programs which computing system includes an input receiving and converting program that receives human input and converts particular input to an event data set with a value representing a single command selected from a list of one or more possible media playout control commands; (b) having at least one media player program running in the computing system; (c) having at least one browser program running in the computing system which browser program receives human input event data sets from the input receiving and converting program; (d) receiving at the browser program from the input receiving and converting program a single human input event data set including a value representing a desired command for the media player to perform; (e) by running an event-handling script, the browser program determines whether the value of the single human input event falls within a category of event values that should be redirected by the browser program to the media player program by comparing the single human input value to a list of one or more event values; and (f) if so, the browser program redirects the single human input event to the media player program by calling a function of the media player program which function is not a part of the event-handling script and, via the function, sends the desired command to the media player program.
