1. An optimization method for an interactive multimedia system for the separation and transmission of multimedia information comprising the steps of:
- (a) separating the multimedia information into primary and secondary layers based upon a program model to differentiate between important and less important information,(b) enhancing the primary layers through psychographic parameters in accordance with the program model to provide a perceived improvement in quality,(c) providing the secondary layers through alternate psychographic parameters,(d) transmitting the primary layers and the secondary layers, and(e) replicating the multimedia information by combining the enhanced primary layers and the secondary layers.

Abstract
An optimization method is disclosed that enhances the interactivity of multimedia information. The optimization method includes separating a multimedia information into primary and secondary layers and enhancing that information in the primary layers such that the perceived psychographic information quality is improved. This method has the advantage of providing compression and/or transmission algorithms to maximize enhancement of the multimedia information.

14. A method for transmission of multimedia information for enhanced interactivity comprising the steps of:
-
(a) separating the multimedia information into separate layers with each layer having a particular psychographic parameter information composition for a particular program model, (b) applying a separate encoding for each of the separate layers of multimedia information according to the psychographic information to maximize the perceived quality of the multimedia information, (c) transmitting the separate encoded layers along different transmission mediums, (d) decoding the separate encoded layers, and (e) recombining the separate layers of multimedia information at a receiving end to provide an improved quality multimedia information. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method for enhancing interactivity of multimedia information within a network comprising the steps of:
-
(a) separating the multimedia information into distinct layers; (b) compressing the distinct layers; (c) decompressing the compressed distinct layers to form an expanded compressed multimedia information; (d) comparing the multimedia information to the expanded compressed multimedia information to produce an error file; (e) compressing the error file; (f) transmitting the compressed error file and the compressed multimedia information; (g) adjusting for errors by combining the compressed error file and the compressed multimedia information; and (h) decompressing the compressed error file and the compressed multimedia information to provide enhanced multimedia information.
