1. A data processing apparatus comprising:
- an input that provides a sequence composed of events and a script, in the form of a package the events being data determining time-sequential occurrence of multimedia matter, while the script being a program modifying the time-sequential occurrence of multimedia matter;
a processor operative when reference is made to the provided sequence for executing the script to rewrite the events; and
an output that provides the sequence containing the rewritten events in response to the reference for modifying the time-sequential occurrence of the multimedia matter.

Abstract
A data processing apparatus has an input that provides a sequence composed of events and a script. The events are data determining time-sequential occurrence of multimedia matter, while the script is a program modifying the time-sequential occurrence of multimedia matter. The data processing apparatus operates when reference is made to the provided sequence for executing the script to rewrite the events, and provides the sequence containing the rewritten events in response to the reference for a modifying the time-sequential occurrence of the multimedia matter.

7. A data processing apparatus comprising:
-
an input that provides a sequence composed of events which are data determining time-sequential occurrence of multimedia matter;
a section that affixes at least one identification code to at least one event for discriminating the one event from other events; and
a processor that selectively processes the one event according to the identification code.

8. A data processing apparatus comprising:
-
an input that provides a curve sequence containing a discrete series of events each being data determining a pair of a time and a value such that the curve sequence represents a time-variation of multimedia matter;
a section that provides a script which is a program modifying the time-variation of the multimedia matter;
a processor that executes the script to rewrite the value of each event so as to modify the time-variation of the multimedia matter; and
a section that interpolates values between successive events during execution of the script so as to convert the discrete series of the events into a continuous series of the events.

9. A method of processing data by means of a processor comprising the steps of:
-
providing a sequence composed of events and a script in the form of package, the events being data determining time-sequential occurrence of multimedia matter, while the script being a program modifying the time-sequential occurrence of multimedia matter;
operating the processor when reference is made to the provided sequence for executing the script to rewrite the events; and
providing the sequence containing the rewritten events in response to the reference for modifying the time-sequential occurrence of the multimedia matter. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A machine readable media containing instructions for causing a processor to perform data processing comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a sequence composed of events and a script in the form of a package, the events being data determining time-sequential occurrence of multimedia matter, while the script being a program modifying the time-sequential occurrence of multimedia matter;
operating the processor when reference is made to the received sequence for executing the script to rewrite the events; and
providing the sequence containing the rewritten events in response to the reference for modifying the time-sequential occurrence of the multimedia matter. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. An apparatus for processing data by means of a processor comprising:
-
means for providing a sequence composed of events and a script in the form of a package, the events being data determining time-sequential occurrence of multimedia information, while the script being a program modifying the time-sequential occurrence of multimedia information;
means for operating the processor when reference is made to the provided sequence for executing the script to rewrite the events; and
means for providing the sequence containing the rewritten events in response to the reference for modifying the time-sequential occurrence of the multimedia information. - View Dependent Claims (17)
