METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING A MEDIA STREAM IN A MEDIA SPREADSHEET
First Claim
1. A method for generating a media stream in a media spreadsheet, the method comprising:
- presenting, via a user interface, an electronic spreadsheet having a plurality of cells;
receiving an association of a source compound media stream object with a first cell of the plurality of cells, wherein the source compound media stream object includes a plurality of media streams;
receiving an association of a media stream transformation operation with one of the first cell and a second cell of the plurality of cells, wherein the media stream transformation operation references, respectively, one of the source compound media stream object and the first cell and the media stream transformation operation includes extracting one of the plurality of media streams from the compound media stream object;
based on the reference, automatically applying the media stream transformation operation to the source compound media stream object to generate a resultant media stream object including the extracted media stream; and
associating the resultant media stream object with at least one of the plurality of cells of the electronic spreadsheet.

Abstract
Methods and systems are described for generating a media stream in a media spreadsheet. The method includes presenting, via a user interface, an electronic spreadsheet having a plurality of cells. The method also includes receiving an association of a source media stream object with a first cell of the plurality of cells. The method further includes receiving an association of a media stream transformation operation with one of the first cell and a second cell of the plurality of cells, wherein the media stream transformation operation references, respectively, one of the source media stream object and the first cell. The method also includes automatically applying the media stream transformation operation to the source media stream object to generate a resultant media stream object, based on the reference. The method further includes associating the resultant media stream object with at least one of the plurality of cells of the electronic spreadsheet.
