METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CREATING MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION PROTOTYPES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for creating multimedia presentations prototypes, the method comprising:
- determining an order of frames,using a processor of a computing device, defining textual and visual content of the frames and an order of transition between the frames;
preparing a composition of a text content, a visual content and an audio track content of a multimedia presentation and combining the contents into a multimedia file,wherein combining of the contents comprises;
(a) preparing a single coherent presentation text and entering it into the computing device;
(b) splitting the presentation text into fragments corresponding to presentation frames;
(c) placing a marker of a text markup between all neighboring frames;
(d) recording an audio track with a verbal voice content of the presentation;
(e) splitting the audio track into the frames;
(f) creating visual imagery of the frames and for each frame of the presentation;
(i) creating and editing graphic figures of the frames; and
(ii) recording a visual representation of all actions of creating and editing the figures;
(g) configuring a presentation prototype by creating a configuration file for each frame by determining a playback duration of the frame and by making a uniform time scaling of a visual representation of creating and editing of the figures of frame visual imagery until a duration of a frame visual representation and a duration of a frame audio content match;
(h) determining frame visualization data comprising an aspect ratio, resolution, color, transparency and FPS;
playing back simultaneously a frame audio track and a time scaled visual representation of creating and editing the graphic figures of the frame and recording a resulting mix of sound and animation into a configuration file of the frame;
playing back the configuration file of the frame on a screen and evaluating the configuration file;
combining the configuration files of the frames with a required order of frames sequence into a single configuration multimedia file of the presentation;
saving the configuration file of the presentation in a format allowing for future editing of the text, the sound and the visual imagery of the frames in the next work session; and
converting the configuration file of the presentation into a video-file without a possibility of future editing of the text, the sound and images of the frames.

Abstract
A method and system for creating multimedia prototype presentations use the linear compression or stretching of playback speed record of creating and editing graphic images, which does not lead to degradation of quality perception. When using manually created drafts, schemes and drawings as graphic images of the presentation, the playback of record of their creating and editing process can be sped up or slowed down in a broad time range without losing quality perception of the visual content. The synchronization of the audio and the video track is made by a linear compression or stretching playback speed record of creating and editing the graphic images until the playback duration of the frame visual content and the duration of its sound match.

10. A computing device for creating multimedia presentations prototypes comprising:
-
a touch screen display having a sensor for detecting position of a finger touch, an on-screen keyboard, a built-in microphone, a built-in speaker, a data processing unit connected to the display, to the keyboard, to the microphone and to the speaker and configured to receive, process and output signals and data, wherein the computing device is configured; to process, when displayed on the screen text is touched, positions of the finger touch as a command and location for splitting the displayed text edges into text fragments and for forming data structures in a computing device memory corresponding to specified fragments implemented as frames; to split a recorded audio track into audio slices connected to the text frames; to record a process of drawing figures by a user'"'"'s finger touch on the display and connect them with the text frames; to scale proportionally on the display playback time of a drawing process upon the user'"'"'s finger touch; and to display on the screen the recorded process of figures drawing corresponding to matching text frames on a time scale equal to a sound duration of audio fragments corresponding to the text frames with a simultaneous playback of the audio fragments. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of using a computing device for creation of multimedia presentations prototypes with keyboard, microphone, speaker and screen where the control and selection of computing device operation modes buttons and a work field of data processing are displayed on the screen, wherein:
-
after launching, the computing device is switched to the presentation management mode; upon pressing on create presentation button, the computing device is switched to creation of the presentation mode, wherein the presentation is created by; naming the presentation; creating a text part of the presentation by; importing a text from an external file; inputting a text from an on-screen keyboard; a verbal text input with an automatic recognition; placing the text into a work filed of the computing device screen; inserting markers of frame text edge, wherein the text displayed in the work field is rendered inside the markers of the frames text edges; and upon pressing on a sound editing button, the computing device switches to a sound editing mode of the presentation, wherein a sounds is imported form an external file or recorded from the microphone; and wherein; text of audio frames synchronized at a particular moment is presented as segments corresponding to the frames of the presentation, so a visual representation of the text, bars or edges of the frames for which the audio track has already been marked up into fragments is different from a presentation of a text, bars or edges of the frames for which the audio track has not been marked up yet; and a visual border of a text content of the presentation corresponds to split frames with marked up and not marked up audio contents so that location of the border on the screen stays constant as a result of scrolling of the frame bars in a process of marking up.
