Abstract

A method is provided for restitution of at least one multimedia scene, having at least two objects, on a display of a radio communication terminal. The method includes: determining an orientation of the display relative to a user; reorganizing the arrangement of the objects constituting the multimedia scene, based on the orientation and on at least one arrangement data present in the scene; and restitution of the reorganized multimedia scene on the viewing device.

Claims

1. Process for rendering at least one multimedia scene, including at least two objects, on a display of a radio communication terminal, wherein the process includes:

a step of determining an orientation of said display with respect to a user;

a step of reorganizing an arrangement of said objects constituting said multimedia scene, according to said orientation and at least one arrangement information item present in said scene;

a step of rendering said multimedia scene reorganized on said display device.

2. Process for rendering at least one multimedia scene according to claim 1, wherein said arrangement information includes at least two sets of instructions, respectively corresponding to:

instructions for arranging said multimedia scene for an orientation in portrait mode, and

instructions for arranging said multimedia scene for an orientation in landscape mode.

3. Process for rendering at least one multimedia scene according to claim 1, wherein said arrangement information includes at least one instruction for rotation of at least one of said objects, according to an angle depending on said orientation.

4. Process for rendering at least one multimedia scene according to claim 1, wherein said multimedia scene is described by a description file including at least one information item indicating to said terminal that said multimedia scene is capable of being adapted to a change in orientation of said display.

5. Process for rendering at least one multimedia scene according to claim 1, wherein said multimedia scene includes at least one arrangement object, defining said information for arrangement of said scene.

6. Process for rendering at least one multimedia scene according to claim 1, wherein said step of determining an orientation takes into account a command to modify the orientation of said display.

7. Process for rendering at least one multimedia scene according to claim 1, wherein said step of determining an orientation takes into account a request to change the orientation, transmitted by said multimedia scene to said terminal.

8. Process for rendering at least one multimedia scene according to claim 1, wherein said step of determining an orientation takes into account a detection by said terminal of a change in orientation of said display.

9. Process for rendering at least one multimedia scene according to claim 1, wherein the process includes a step of modifying an action of at least one key of a keypad of said terminal, according to said orientation.

10. Process for rendering at least one multimedia scene according to claim 1, wherein said multimedia scene is encoded by a graphic animation description of the type belonging to the group including:

LASeR;

MPEG-4/BIFS;

SVG;

SMIL;

XHTML.

11. Computer program stored on a medium that is computer-readable and including program code instructions for implementing a process for rendering at least one multimedia scene, including at least two objects, on a display of a radio communication terminal, when the product is executed by a processor, wherein the process includes:

a step of determining an orientation of said display with respect to a user;

a step of reorganizing an arrangement of said objects constituting said multimedia scene, according to said orientation and at least one arrangement information item present in said scene;

a step of rendering said multimedia scene reorganized on said display device.

12. A process comprising:

generating a signal describing a multimedia scene including a set of objects capable of being rendered on a display of a terminal, wherein the signal includes at least one arrangement information item including at least two types of instructions, including;

instructions for arranging said multimedia scene for an orientation in portrait mode, and

instructions for arranging said multimedia scene for an orientation in landscape mode,

so as to enable a terminal to adapt a mode of rendering of said multimedia scene on said display according to said at least one arrangement information item and a determined orientation of said display; and

transmitting the signal.

13. The process according to claim 12, wherein the signal includes at least one arrangement object defining said arrangement information.

14. Radio communication terminal including:

a display; and

means for rendering, on said display, at least one multimedia scene;

means for controlling and/or interacting with at least some objects constituting said at least one multimedia scene, including;

means for determining an orientation of said display, and

means for reorganizing an arrangement of said objects constituting said at least one multimedia scene to be rendered on said display, in which said reorganization means take into account at least one arrangement information item known from said multimedia scene, and the determined orientation of said display.

15. Radio communication terminal according to claim 14, wherein said arrangement information includes at least two sets of instructions, corresponding respectively to:

instructions for arranging said multimedia scene for an orientation in portrait mode, and

instructions for arranging said multimedia scene for an orientation in landscape mode.

16. Radio communication terminal according to claim 14, wherein said reorganization means take into account at least one arrangement object defining said arrangement information.

17. Process for constructing at least one multimedia scene, including at least two objects, intended to be rendered on a display of a radio communication terminal, wherein the process includes:

a step of defining at least one arrangement information item including at least two sets of instructions, corresponding respectively to;

instructions for arranging said multimedia scene for an orientation in portrait mode, and

instructions for arranging said multimedia scene for an orientation in landscape mode,

so as to enable a terminal to adapt a mode of rendering said multimedia scene on said display according to said at least one arrangement information item and a determined orientation of said display.

18. Process for constructing at least one multimedia scene according to claim 17, wherein said step of defining includes a sub-step of creating an arrangement object defining said arrangement information.
