Patent ID: 7225405

Claim:
A method for generating one or more audio elements, the method comprising the steps of: receiving user input; creating a first audio element, with an audio data field, in response to the user input; creating a second audio element, with an audio data field, in response to the user input; displaying a visual representation of the first audio element located spatially on a two dimensional layout capable of displaying non-audio elements, wherein a display position of the visual representation is independent of the audio data field in the first audio element and controllable by a user; displaying a visual representation of the second audio element located spatially on the two dimensional layout, wherein a display position of the visual representation of the second audio element is independent of the audio data field of the second audio element, a temporal sequence or relationship to the first audio element, and the visual representation of the first audio element, and is controllable by the user, creating a link between the first audio element and the second audio element; and displaying a visual representation of the link as a connector between the visual representation of the first audio element and the visual representation of the second audio element.
