Patent ID: 7599963

Claim:
Network-extensible non-linear digital television programming reconfigurable media appliance with storage medium for digitally storing non-linear digital television media program comprising one or more branching points in such program for cellular telephone having non-linear digital television multi-media stream processing applications comprising: a cell processor comprising a first cell processing unit and a second cell processing unit, such first and second cell processing units enabled to process one or more non-linear digital television programming media streams in serial or parallel using synchronized meta data tags to provide extensible reconfigurable effects studio for cellular telephone or digital television application that produces seamlessly synchronized integration of such processed multiple media streams comprising non-linear digital television programming; and a memory for storing such multi cell processing unit processed multiple media streams, said memory comprising a first media portion partitioned in a kernel space in a storage medium; and a second media portion partitioned in a user space in the storage medium; a non-linear digital television program being produced electronically via a renderer for audio or video presentation using the first and second portions according to a non-linear digital television programming template or storyboard, such that the digital television program presentation branches or flows from the first portion to the second portion according to the non-linear digital television programming template or storyboard, such non-linear digital television programming branching or flowing enabling a group of network-extensible media appliances comprising one or more cellular telephone or digital television to collaborate to reconstruct a covered event effectively by synchronizing such branching or flowing audio or video presentations that are collected wirelessly from distributed media appliances, such that the group of one or more cellular telephone or digital television media appliances collaborate or synchronize to provide wirelessly network-extensible non-linear digital television programming; the network-extensible reconfigurable media appliance comprising a cellular telephone configured programmably to render non-linear digital television programming using the cell processor and the memory to perform programmable protocol translation, packet processing or format conversion of such rendered non-linear digital television programming.
