Abstract

A multimedia processing device implements a script having a data structure that is formed of a drawing information describing portion where media data is chronologically described, and a user navigation information describing portion where correspondence between events and actions and implementation conditions are chronologically described. The multimedia processing device implements this script, and thereby, media data is chronologically reproduced, and at the same time, a user interface showing operations that can be chronologically carried out is outputted. Then, a predetermined process, such as an insertion of media data, can be implemented by carrying out the operations following the user interface according to predetermined timing.

Claims

1-24. -24. (canceled)

25. A multimedia data processing device, comprising:

a script implementing unit for reproducing data that is referred from a script that is included in a template in accordance with said script;

a user changeable data determining unit for determining a portion changeable by a user among said data that is referred from said script;

a data changing unit for changing said portion changeable; and

a script and data outputting unit for outputting at least either said script or said data changed, wherein

said script implementing unit further comprises a media time selecting unit for determining and selecting a portion from said data that is referred from said script where implementation or termination can be carried out, and

said script implementing unit pauses at said portion when implementing said selected portion from among said data.

26. The multimedia data processing device according to claim 25, wherein said portion that is selected by said media time selecting unit is a portion where changeable media data switches.

27. The multimedia data processing device according to claim 26, wherein

said script implementing unit further comprises a sequence changing point determining unit for determining the changing point of the sequence that is the closest in the future from this time, and

said script implementing unit skips the reproduction of said data to said sequence changing point determined next.

28. The multimedia data processing device according to claim 26, wherein

said script implementing unit further comprises a sequence changing point determining unit for determining the changing point of the sequence that is the closest in the future from this time, and

said script implementing unit skips the reproduction of said data to said sequence changing point determined closest past.

29. A multimedia data processing device, comprising:

a script implementing unit for reproducing data that is referred from a script that is included in a template in accordance with said script;

a user changeable data determining unit for determining a portion changeable by a user among said data that is referred from said script;

a data changing unit for changing said portion changeable; and

a script and data outputting unit for outputting at least either said script or said data changed, wherein the start portion or the end portion of a changed section of said data is added to a predetermined portion of said data in the case where the operation of said data change is carried out.

30. A multimedia data processing device, comprising:

a script implementing unit for reproducing data that is referred from a script that is included in a template in accordance with said script;

a user changeable data determining unit for determining a portion changeable by a user among said data that is referred from said script,

a data changing unit for changing said portion changeable; and

a script and data outputting unit for outputting at least either said script or said data changed, wherein the script and data outputting unit deletes at least a portion of one of said script that is included in said template and said data that is referred from said script before outputting.

31. The multimedia data processing device according to claim 30, wherein at least one of said script that is included in said template and said data that is referred from said script is written in XML (Extensible Markup Language), and said script and data outputting unit deletes said data that is referred from said script in response to the description of a predetermined tag.

32. A multimedia data processing device, comprising:

a script implementing unit for reproducing data that is referred from a script that is included in a template in accordance with said script;

a user changeable data determining unit for determining a portion changeable by a user among said data that is referred from said script;

a data changing unit for changing said portion changeable; and

a script and data outputting unit for outputting at least either said script or said data changed, wherein said script and data outputting unit outputs at least one of said script and said data changed to a memory device inside said multimedia data processing device.

33. A multimedia data processing device, comprising:

a script implementing unit for reproducing data that is referred from a script that is included in a template in accordance with said script;

a user changeable data determining unit for determining a portion changeable by a user among said data that is referred from said script;

a data changing unit for changing said portion changeable; and

a script and data outputting unit for outputting at least either said script or said data changed, wherein said script and data outputting unit outputs at least one of said script and said data changed to another device via a network.

34. The multimedia data processing device according to claim 33, which outputs at least one of said script and said data changed.

35. The multimedia data processing device according to claim 33, wherein said script and data outputting unit outputs at least one of said script and said data changed to said other device by using MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service).
