Abstract

A computer processor receives a selection of a link field displayed on a computer monitor in a motion picture video or in a still digital image on the computer monitor. The computer processor may be programmed to determine if the link field relates to setting up an interactive conference, activating a first motion picture video, activating a first digital still photograph, or activating a first audio clip. The computer processor may be programmed, such that if the link field relates to an interactive conference, activating a first motion picture video, activating the first digital still photograph, or activating the first audio clip, the computer processor takes appropriate action in response to the selection of the link field.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a selection of a link field displayed on a computer monitor;

determining by use of a computer processor, if the link field relates to a voice Internet protocol call; and

if the link field relates to a voice Internet protocol call, causing the computer processor to set up a voice Internet protocol call in response to the selection of the link field.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein

the link field is displayed in a motion picture video on the computer monitor.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein

the link field is displayed in a still digital photograph on the computer monitor.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising

determining by use of the computer processor, if the link field relates to an interactive conference;

and if the link field relates to an interactive conference, causing the computer processor to set up the interactive conference in response to the selection of the link field.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising

determining by use of the computer processor, if the link field relates to activating a first motion picture video, which is not currently being displayed on the computer monitor;

and if the link field relates to activating the first motion picture video, causing the computer processor to activate the first motion picture video in response to selection of the link field.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising

determining by use of the computer processor, if the link field relates to a activating a first still digital photograph, which is not currently being displayed on the computer monitor;

and if the link field relates to activating the first still digital photograph, causing the computer processor to activate the first still digital photograph in response to selection of the link field.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising

determining by use of the computer processor, if the link field relates to a activating a first audio clip on a speaker device, which is not currently being run on the speaker device;

and if the link field relates to activating the first audio clip, causing the computer processor to activate the first audio clip on the speaker device in response to selection of the link field.

8. An apparatus comprising

a user interactive device;

a computer monitor; and

a computer processor;

wherein the computer processor is programmed to receive a selection of a link field displayed on the computer monitor;

wherein the computer processor is programmed to determine if the link field relates to a voice Internet protocol call; and

wherein the computer processor is programmed, such that if the link field relates to a voice Internet protocol call, the computer processor causes a voice Internet protocol to be set up in response to the selection of the link field.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein

the computer processor is programmed to display the link field in a motion picture video on the computer monitor.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein

the computer processor is programmed to display the link field in a still digital photograph on the computer monitor.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein

the computer processor is programmed to determine if the link field relates to an interactive conference;

and the computer processor is programmed, such that if the link field relates to an interactive conference, the computer processor sets up the interactive conference in response to the selection of the link field.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein

the computer processor is programmed to determine if the link field relates to a activating a first motion picture video, which is not currently being displayed on the computer monitor;

and if the link field relates to activating the first motion picture video, the computer processor activates the first motion picture video in response to selection of the link field.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein

the computer processor is programmed to determine if the link field relates to a activating a first still digital photograph, which is not currently being displayed on the computer monitor;

and the computer processor is programmed, such that if the link field relates to activating the first still digital photograph, the computer processor activates the first still digital photograph in response to selection of the link field.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 further wherein

the computer processor is programmed to determine if the link field relates to a activating a first audio clip on a speaker device, wherein the first audio clip is not currently being run on the speaker device;

and the computer processor is programmed, such that if the link field relates to activating the first audio clip, the computer processor activates the first audio clip on the speaker device in response to selection of the link field.
