Abstract
A system and methods for dynamically linking changing media content to other media content is described. A network system includes Websites suitable for use by wired and wireless users. The wired Web sites include Web pages providing content that changes over time, such as a video or animation clip. Imbedded within these Web pages are links to other media content. These links are both time and location dependent within the changing content. A link map identifies all of the other media content associated with the imbedded links. A program associated with the changing content page and incorporating the link map provides means to capture the time and location of a user'"'"'s link selection and provides instructions to the wired Web site to store the linked media content associated with the selected link in a storage location. Means are provided for the wired user to instruct the wired Web site to send the stored media content to either a wired or wireless user connected to the network system. Likewise, Web pages that are static can also contain links to other media content. A wired user may select these links, store the associated media content and then transmit the content to another connected user.
