IMAGE INTEGRATION, MAPPING AND LINKING SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY
First Claim
1. A method, performed by a computer system having a processor, for integrating images into a presentation output having pre-existing images, the method comprising:
- receiving a selection of at least one of a plurality of user-defined images, the user-defined images being different from the pre-existing images; and
responsive to the selection of the at least one of the user-defined images, integrating, with the processor, a representation of the selected at least one of the user-defined images into the presentation output in real time, at least in part by;
analyzing the selected user-defined image to recognize an entity within the selected user-defined image, andin response to recognizing the entity within the selected user-defined image, replacing at least one of the pre-existing images of the presentation output with the selected user-defined image based at least in part on the recognition.

Abstract
An adapter interface apparatus has a user input device and an associated video display. The user selects a distinguishable visual image representation for association into an audiovisual presentation, such as where that user is identified. For example, color, size graphics or shape can be used to distinguish users. In one embodiment a digitized image of each user'"'"'s face is used as the distinguishable representation. Alternatively, the user can create an original image or select one of a predetermined set of visual images as the user'"'"'s identification for use in the audiovisual presentation. In one embodiment, the adapter interface is coupled to an audiovisual presentation system and a storage card containing User Images. The adapter interface system integrates a selected User Image from the Storage Card into the audiovisual presentation.

16. A system, having a processor and memory, comprising:
-
a component configured to store digital data comprising pre-existing digital data and user-defined digital data; a component configured to generate a display presentation comprising a plurality of interacting characters; a component configured to receive a selection of at least one of the plurality of characters; and a component configured to generate an integrated presentation responsive to receiving the selection in real time based at least in part on an analysis of the display presentation to identify the selected character and replacement of at least a portion of the pre-existing digital data corresponding to the selected character with at least a portion of the user-defined digital data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions for identifying a plurality of selectable images; instructions for receiving a selection of one of the plurality of selectable images; instructions for analyzing the selected image to recognize an entity within the selected image; and instructions for integrating a representation of the selected one of the plurality of selectable images into a presentation output, wherein the integrating comprises substituting at least a portion of the selected one of the plurality of selectable images for a representation within the presentation output at least substantially in real time based at least in part on the recognition of the entity within the selected image. - View Dependent Claims (24)

25. A computer-readable storage device having instructions stored thereon, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions for creating a mappable link of a user-representative character image, wherein the mappable link defines utilization of the user-representative character image in a video presentation; instructions for receiving a selection of the user-representative character image; instructions for analyzing the selected user-representative character image to recognize an entity within the selected image; and instructions for integrating the user-representative character image into the video presentation responsive to the mappable link by substituting the user-representative character image for a predefined representation within the video presentation in real time based at least in part on the recognition of the entity within the selected image.

26. A computer-readable medium storing instructions that, if executed by a computing system having a processor, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
-
identifying digital image data used to generate a portion of a first video presentation; receiving a selection from the digital image data of an image for integration; and generating an integrated video presentation in real time, wherein the integrated video presentation is generated by; analyzing the first video presentation to identify a representation of an entity within the first video presentation, in response to identifying the representation, generating a substitute representation based at least in part on the selected image for integration, and providing for display the substitute representation in place of the representation within the first video presentation, wherein at least a portion of the selected image for integration is integrated within the integrated video presentation. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29)

30. A method, performed by a computer system having a processor, for image integration, the method comprising:
-
identifying a plurality of separate data files, each for at least one selectable script to be spoken within a display presentation comprising digital data for a voice associated with a specific character having a visual representation and an audio representation within the display presentation; receiving by the computer system a selection of a script from among the plurality of selectable scripts, wherein the selected script is associated with a specific character appearing within the display presentation; storing digital data for a voice speaking the selected script; and generating by the computer system an integrated display presentation in real time by; analyzing the integrated display presentation to identify the visual representation or the audio representation within the integrated display presentation, and in response to identifying the visual representation or the audio representation within the integrated display presentation, integrating the stored digital data for the voice to replace the voice for the specific character appearing within the integrated display presentation. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33)
