Computer-based multimedia creation, management, and deployment platform
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented multimedia content authoring system for managing a plurality of different types of multimedia assets, comprising:
- an asset content storage unit that stores representations of the assets;
an asset metadata storage unit that stores metadata about the stored asset representations; and
an asset manager module connected to the asset content storage unit and to the asset metadata storage unit, said asset manager module providing to a developer a computer-human interface to the asset metadata in order to locate at least one asset representation for inclusion into a multimedia application.

Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method perform a variety of tasks related to the creation, management, and presentation of multimedia content. Once created, content may be stored for on-demand presentation to a viewer. Alternatively, content can be presented as it is created, as with a live broadcast of an event. The system and method additionally provide a platform from which multimedia content may be presented to viewers. In relation to the presentation of content, the system and method provide the ability to tailor the content to be presented to the viewer based upon specific attributes of the viewer'"'"'s system and upon the connection established by the viewer'"'"'s system.

12. A computer-implemented method for managing and presenting multimedia content comprising the steps of:
-
creating a presentation template;
selecting at least one media asset for inclusion within the template;
positioning the selected media asset within the template in order to create the multimedia content;
providing the multimedia content to a viewing device during run-time; and
sending a command to the viewing device that alters a design-time property of the multimedia content during the run-time, whereby the multimedia content with the altered design-time property is displayed to a user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-implemented method for presenting multimedia content comprising the steps of:
-
selecting at least two multimedia assets for inclusion into a multimedia application;
during design-time, modifying run-time behavior characteristics of one of the assets to be synchronized with the run-time behavior characteristics of another selected asset;
providing the multimedia application to a viewing device; and
presenting the selected assets such that their presentation is synchronized with respect to each other. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A computer-implemented method for preparing multimedia content for presentation through a viewing device, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving from the viewing device a presentation-related request for the content;
determining operational characteristics associated with the viewing device;
selecting which presentation-related instructions are to be transmitted as part of the content to the viewing device based upon the determined operational characteristics; and
transmitting to the viewing device the selected instructions that are part of the requested content. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
