Method of relaying digital video & audio data via a communication media
First Claim
1. A method of relaying digital video data, said method including:
- providing a first set of digital data of a first frame representing a first scene of a video image, assembling data of one or more filters, and parameters therefor to be applied to the digital data over a plurality of repeated frames of the first scene, providing a second set of digital data of a second frame representing a second scene of a video image, assembling data of one or more filters, and parameters therefor to be applied to the digital data over a plurality of repeated frames of the second scene, relaying the first and second sets of digital data and the data of the filters, and parameters therefor, together with transition data, On a single file, from a first location to a second location over a communications medium, and at said second location receiving and reproducing the first and second sets of digital data over the plurality of repeated frames with one or more video filters, and parameters therefor and transition data applied whereby to generate at the second location an apparent video movie over those reproduced video frames, wherein said transition data controls the way in which there is transition between the first and second scenes.

Abstract
A method of relaying digital video data over a communications medium such as the Internet is provided where accelerated relaying time can be realised. The method involves assembling digital data of one frame representing a scene of a video image plus data of one or more filters and parameters therefor to be applied to the digital data over a plurality of repeated frames of that scene. All that data is relayed to a users personal computer and then an apparent video movie is generated at the personal computer over a plurality of repeated frame images of the one frame by applying the filters thereto. The filters can include PAN ZOOM FADE etc., so that when applied over the plurality of frames each of the same scene, there will be an apparent motion video movie. Many scenes and filters can be employed to enhance the video. In providing a video of real estate, such as details of an apartment, a 2-D floor plan of the apartment can also be relayed so that a viewer of the apparent video can obtain a better understanding of the image being viewed at any given point of time. The 2-D floor plan can have a route-of-path line drawn thereon to further enhance the understanding of the image being viewed. A moving indicator can be displayed over the route-of-path which can be approximately synchronised with the apparent video to give an approximate indication on the route-of-path for the image being viewed at any given point of time.
