Systems and methods for playing, browsing and interacting with MPEG-4 coded audio-visual objects
First Claim
1. An audio-visual object browser system that inputs MPEG-4 data having a scene description graph and data related to at least one object, comprising:
- an audiovisual object demultiplexer and binary format of scene browser for interacting with a user;
a binary format of scene (BIFS) description graph interpreter connected to the audiovisual object demultiplexer and binary format of scene browser for interpreting the MPEG-4 data, anda media decoder, compositor and renderer that receives the interpreted MPEG-4 data and presents at least one object on the audiovisual object demultiplexer and binary format of scene browser.

Abstract
A number of novel configurations for MPEG-4 playback, browsing and user interaction are disclosed. MPEG-4 playback systems are not simple extensions of MPEG-2 playback systems, but, due to object based nature of MPEG-4, present new opportunities and challenges in synchronized management of independent coded objects as well as scene composition and presentation. Therefore, these configurations allow significantly new and enhanced multimedia services and systems. In addition, MPEG-4 aims for an advanced functionality, called Adaptive Audio Visual Session (AAVS) or MPEG-J. Adaptive Audio Visual Session (AAVS) (i.e., MPEG-AAVS, MPEG-Java or MPEG-J) requires, in addition to the definition of configurations, a definition of an application programming interface (API) and its organization into Java packages. Also disclosed are concepts leading to definition of such a framework.

29. A computer-readable medium having instructions that control a computing device to provide an audio-visual object browser that operates on MPEG-4 data having a scene description graph and data related to at least one object, the instructions comprising:
-
providing an audiovisual object demultiplexer and binary format of scene browser for interacting with a user; interpreting a binary format of scene (BIFS) description graph associated with the MPEG-4 data from the audiovisual object demultiplexer and binary format of scene browser; and decoding, composing and rendering the interpreted BIFS scene description graph on the audiovisual object demultiplexer and binary format of scene browser.
