First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of creating remote multimedia output on at least one client computer, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) receiving a semantic on a first client computer from a server computer;
b) identifying a first multimedia data object stored local to the first client computer, wherein the first multimedia data object corresponds to the semantic; and
c) processing the first multimedia data object in accordance with the semantic to create a first multimedia output on the first client computer;
wherein the semantic comprises an action identifier segment, and step (c) comprises the step of performing an action on the first multimedia data object in accordance with the action identifier segment.

Abstract
An apparatus and method creates remote multimedia outputs on client computers. The client computers receive a stream of semantics from a server computer. For each semantic received, the client computers identify a multimedia data object that corresponds to the received semantic. The multimedia data object has previously been locally stored at each client computer. Finally, the client computers process the identified multimedia data object in accordance with the semantic to create a multimedia output on each client computer'"'"'s output device.

12. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a processor in a client computer, cause the processor to perform steps for creating remote multimedia output, said steps comprising:
-
a) responsive to receiving a semantic, identifying a multimedia data object stored local to the client computer, wherein the multimedia data object corresponds to the semantic; and b) processing the multimedia data object in accordance with the semantic to create a multimedia output on the client computer, wherein the semantic comprises an action identifier segment, and step (b) comprises the step of performing an action on the multimedia data object in accordance with the action identifier segment. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
