摘要： A computer implemented method reduces the complexities of obtaining a spatial design in a multimedia presentation. The method is an interactive process which assists an author in readily arriving at a suitable spatial design in the multimedia presentation. A set of objects that appear on the computer display screen simultaneously is termed a clique. The spatial design for a multimedia clique is defined in terms of three dimensions, two dimensions defining the plane of the computer display screen and the third dimension defining the depth of overlapping objects. The locations of the associated episodes and their respective depths on the screen are found. This process involves resolving space requirements between the several episodes in the clique according to a defined set of constraints. Assuming that a resolution can be reached which provides a consistent layout, the layout is displayed. The user is then given the opportunity to change the predefined set of constraints, resulting in the display of the layout with the changed set of constraints. If the layout is still not satisfactory, the user can change the sizes and locations of individual episodes in the clique. Based on the changed constraints for the episodes in the clique, the process again automatically determines a layout which is displayed for review and possible acceptance by the user. When the spatial design is finally accepted by the user, the process outputs the spatial design for the clique. Given a series of cliques which constitute an entire multimedia story, a technique of constraint propagation is provided. More particularly, an object in one clique may be displayed with other objects in a succeeding clique. Rather than moving that object around, the option is provided to fix the position of the object and let the other objects move around the fixed one.

摘要： A multimedia system represents multimedia objects as ranges of time intervals, each bounded by a minimum and a maximum, and temporal relationships are given to a set of objects which are to be integrated. In this system, where there are uncertainties in time, a stretchable time-line is provided. The stretchable time-line is modeled after a spring system such that an object (or a spring) is associated not only with a minimum and a maximum length but also with a length at rest. As a spring rests at a certain length and stretches and shrinks by a certain degree when a force is applied, multimedia objects placed on the stretchable time-line may also rest at a certain length, and stretch or shrink if necessary. As a spring has a tendency to return to the length at rest, a multimedia object may stretch or shrink when necessary and by a smallest degree possible. The system according to the invention can answer a question like, "Can I show this multimedia presentation in ten minutes, and if so, how should all the objects be scheduled?" If there is a solution that satisfies all the constraints given, the solution consists of a set of time intervals which "minimally" deviate from the corresponding lengths at rest and also evenly distribute the variation of the difference between the optimum duration and the scheduled duration for each episode.
摘要翻译： 多媒体系统将多媒体对象表示为时间间隔的范围，每个时间间隔由最小和最大限定，并且时间关系被赋予要被集成的一组对象。 在这个系统中，如果时间上有不确定性，则提供可拉伸的时间线。 可拉伸的时间线在弹簧系统之后建模，使得物体（或弹簧）不仅与最小和最大长度相关联，而且与静止的长度相关联。 当弹簧以一定的长度放置时，当施加力时，它一定程度地伸展和收缩，放置在可拉伸时间线上的多媒体物体也可以以一定的长度放置，如果需要的话伸展或收缩。 由于弹簧具有恢复到静止的长度的倾向，所以多媒体对象可能在必要时可以伸缩或缩小，并且尽量小。 根据本发明的系统可以回答一个问题：“我可以在十分钟内显示这个多媒体呈现，如果是，应该如何安排所有的对象？” 如果存在满足所有给定约束的解的解，则该解由一组时间间隔组成，这些时间间隔在最低限度地偏离相应的静止长度，并且还将最佳持续时间和预定持续时间之间的差异的均匀分布 每集

摘要： A knowledge based computing system is authored using a directed graph presented to the author at an authoring time. The directed graph has one or more question nodes and one or more answer nodes. The question nodes and the answer nodes connected to one another on one or more paths by links between each of the question nodes and each of the answer nodes so that question nodes and answer nodes alternate as the path is traversed in a path direction so that a "QA directed graph" is created. Each question node associated with a question data structure and each answer node associated with a answer data structure that are populated with information accessed from the author using question and answer templates associated with respective question and answer nodes on the QA directed graph. After the expert system is created (authored) using the QA directed graph it can be run at a run time to provide and access information from a service user. The system has many applications particularly in the health care and teaching fields.

摘要： An authoring system and method create a knowledge base for an expert system that comprises communication cells for storing external data, assertion cells for storing data acquired from a user in the course of a user dialog, and interaction cells that specify (multimedia) interactions with the user, which are carried out as the cells are invoked by the run-time program. Each interaction cell has an enabling condition that must be satisfied before it can be invoked. At authoring time, the knowledge base is constructed by an expert system author who allocates the knowledge base cells on a rectangular grid similar to a spreadsheet. The author can try out various what-if scenarios by setting the values of assertion and communication cells and recalculating the knowledge base or simulating the created expert system. The grid is only an authoring tool, which is not visible or present at run time. A preferred application of the system is to create a health care expert system that will exchange information with a health care provider.
