    摘要: An improved method for generating non-linear multimedia effects by employing two or more tweens. Specifically, a second tween mapping is chained to a first tween mapping. A first time signal is received. The first tween is employed to map the first time signal into a second time signal. The second tween mapping is employed to map the second time signal into an output that varies in a non-linear fashion with respect to the first time signal.

    摘要: A user interface and methods for using a user interface for controlling processing of time-based media files. In one exemplary method, a graphical representation of a time line for a time-based media is displayed along with a graphical representation of a current time along the graphical representation of the time line. A start graphical indicator and a stop graphical indicator is also displayed along the graphical representation of the time line. A portion of the time-based media may be selected for presentation by dragging or positioning at least one of the start graphical indicator and the stop graphical indicator along the graphical representation of the time line. In another aspect of the invention, an exemplary method allows for the adaptive control of a portion of the interface which indicates time relating to a time-based media. An input speed is determined where this input is to change the portion and the rate at which the change to this portion occurs is dependent upon the input speed. Other aspects of the present invention relating to the interface for controlling the processing of time-based media files are also described.

    摘要: An apparatus for synchronizing data retrieval is described. The apparatus comprises a storage media storing data, a storage control device coupled to the storage media for retrieving the data from the storage media, memory coupled to the storage control device for storing the data; and a scheduling unit coupled to the memory for scheduling retrieval of the data from the storage media before a specified time. A storage media for storing computer instructions is also described. The storage media comprises a first plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing a computer system to schedule retrieval of data from a storage device before a specified time, a second plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing the computer system to retrieve the data from the storage device before the specified time has elapsed, a third plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing the computer system to store the data from the storage device into memory, and a fourth plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing the computer system to process the data from the memory. A method for synchronizing data retrieval in a data processing system is also described. The method comprises determining a specified time for retrieving the data from a storage media, scheduling retrieval of the data from the storage media before the specified time, retrieving the data from the storage media before the specified time has elapsed, and processing the data from the storage media.

    摘要: A method for managing focus in a graphical user interface using a directional controller that allows a directional or selection input. The method comprising: determining whether the input is directional or selection; determining whether there is a sibling object of a currently focused object in a given direction of the input if the input is directional; transferring the focus to the sibling object if there is a sibling object in the given direction; transferring the focus to an ancestor object of the currently focused object if there is no sibling object in the given direction; determining whether the currently focused object is a group; transferring the focus to a descendant object of the currently focused object if the currently focused object is a group and the input is selection; and selecting the currently focused object if the currently focused object is not a group and the input is selection.

    摘要: A hierarchical movie is provided. A hierarchical movie is a movie that contains one or more embedded movies. Embedded movies may themselves contain embedded movies. Each movie contains zero or more media sequences. Within a hierarchical movie, media sequences that should be edited together may be grouped together using embedded movies. The media sequences of a hierarchical movie may be sequenced during playback based on a different time coordinate system than the time coordinate system that governs any embedded movies. This allows a movie to contain both time-based and time-independent media sequences. Also, the relative timing of events in the movie may vary from performance to performance. The hierarchical movie structure allows movies to be used as user interface controls, and even as field-sensitive databases.
