Video playback image processing
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically generating an animated image for insertion into a video comprising:
- receiving an image;
receiving meta-data defining attributes associated with a sprite;
receiving an executable;
providing the image as a first input to the executable;
providing the metadata as a second input to the executable; and
generating the sprite by executing the executable, wherein the sprite is superimposed over a video stream.

Abstract
An animated image is dynamically generated for insertion into a video stream within a media playback device. The media playback device receives an animated image and executable. The media playback device receives meta-data associated with an animated image. The executable is executed in essentially real-time. The animated image is generated. In one instance, the animated image is a sprite. In another instance, a composite seamless integrated image of the animated image and the video stream is created. The meta-data and the executable persistently used will be stored in a memory device for future use. In another aspect, meta-data and executable associated with the video stream are streamed into the media playback device.

16. A method for seamlessly integrating an animated interactive image into a video stream comprising:
-
receiving executable and meta-data associated with an animated interactive image for defining behavior of the media playback device;
executing the executable utilizing meta-data associated with the animated interactive image to create the animated interactive image;
redefining the behavior of the media playback device in essentially real-time in response to the meta-data and the executable;
compositing in real-time the video stream with the animated interactive image;
generating a seamlessly integrated image of the video stream and the animated interactive image; and
storing the meta-data and the executable in a memory device for future use. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A media device comprising:
-
a media interface for receiving video data;
a programmable computer processor electrically coupled to the media interface for receiving video data;
an executable executed by the programmable computer processor for creating an animated interactive image based on received streamed metadata and executable associated with the animated interactive image, redefining the functionality of the media device user inputs; and
compositing in real-time a seamlessly integrated image of the video stream and the animated interactive image; and
a memory device electrically coupled to the programmable computer processor for storing the meta-data and the executable for future use. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
