Patent ID: 8621445

Claim:
A computer implemented method comprising: providing, using one or more processors, a translated media framework component, comprising: a media framework component graph, wherein the media framework component graph comprises one or more components; a first media framework, wherein the one or more components in the media framework component graph are coupled with the first media framework, and wherein the first media framework is designed to run the media framework component graph; a media framework translator that translates communications from the first media framework and transmits the translated communications to an external media framework; and providing a shell that enables the first media framework and the media framework component graph to operate within an environment associated with a different media framework, wherein the shell enables the first media framework and the media framework component graph to operate within an environment associated with a second media framework, and wherein the shell is created to run a virtual environment or an operating system associated with the first media framework; and providing the second media framework, wherein the second media framework receives communications from the first media framework via the media framework translator, and wherein the media framework translator enables the translated media framework component to function as a component for the second media framework.
