System and method to compose a slide show
First Claim
1. A method of composing a slide show, comprising the steps of:
- accessing a plurality of digital images;
encoding each of the plurality of digital images to generate a normal resolution image portion and a high resolution image portion;
multiplexing each corresponding normal and high resolution image portion to generate a single high resolution still image;
determining a time parameter for each of the high resolution still images; and
concatenating the plurality of high resolution still images to generate a silent slide show in accordance with the determined time parameters and employing at least one padding pack, wherein the number of padding packs NP is determined by the algorithm;
NP=T*75−
(NN+NH)wherein T is a number of seconds of display, NN is a number of packs holding the normal resolution image portion, and NH is a number of packs holding the high resolution image portion.

Abstract
A method of composing a multimedia slide show. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: selecting a plurality of digital images; encoding each of the plurality of digital images to generate a normal resolution image portion and a high resolution image portion; multiplexing each corresponding normal and high resolution image portion to generate a single high resolution still image; determining a time parameter for each of the high resolution still images; selecting an audio portion for at least one of the plurality of digital images; concatenating the plurality of high resolution still images to generate a video bitstream; generating an audio bitstream by encoding the audio portion; and multiplexing the video bitstream and audio bitstream to generate the multimedia slide show.
