Filed:

Dec 5, 1997

Appl. No.:

08/985814

Inventors:

David Allen - Van Nuys CA
Brian Leader - Sunland CA
Thomas Reiter - Sherman Oaks CA

Assignee:

Information Presentation Solutions Development, Inc. - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

G06F 1721

US Classification:

7155001, 345723

Abstract:

A computer-assisted method for presenting a multi-media plurality of elements. Each element, including, for example, video images, still images and documents, is stored by assigned index number in an appropriate input device such as a VHS recorder or laser disk reader (video and stills) or an optical or magnetic disk reader (documents). The input devices are addressed by such index numbers to thereby call up and display selected elements in a WINDOWS format. The format is adjustable from a basic default setting to enable the user to customize frames prior to entry into a script buffer. Thereafter the script buffer is addressable, permitting the frames constituting the presentation to be entered into a script file in a preferred presentation sequence. The presentation is made by addressing the script file to recall selected frames. The method allows the user to preview flames one at a time and allows the user to reformat each frame prior to public display.
