Patent ID: 7266290

Claim:
A real-time rich media recording system, comprising: a capture module for capturing a rich media source, where the rich media source comprises a plurality of media types; a recording module to real-time record the rich media source captured by the capture module as digital data into a non-sequential storage module, construct a rich media relational table corresponding to the digital data, and insert an event label into the rich media relational table in response to an action instruction concurrent with the recording of the rich media source, where the event label comprises a time point of the insertion of the action instruction and at least one of the media types; a random access module to stop the recording process of the recording module in response to an interrupt instruction, locate a location in the digital data in the non-sequential storage module, disable the event labels located after the location in the rich media relational table, and reinstate the recording module to record the rich media source into the non-sequential storage module at the position following the location in the digital data; and a play module to instruct a media player corresponding to the media type recorded in the event label in the rich media relational table at the time point to play the digital data.
